Spider-Man Films Ranking (Including Venom)

     With Marvel Studios Spider-Man 3 title soon to be announced (will edit it here when announced-EDIT - The title is Spider-Man: No Way Home) I decided to do a quick blog to put out there the CORRECT Spider-Man movie rankings. I am including Venom because it is my list get over it, and I would have included Morbius but it is not out yet. Well enough time wasting here we go

9. Amazing Spider-Man 2

    These bottom two were a toss up for me as they both ended their franchises but Amazing Spider-Man 2 was just so bad. They had a possibly interesting story moving forward and Andrew Garfield was different but was still a very solid Peter Parker but we all know why this movie was so poorly received, the weird as hell Goblin storyline and Jamie Foxx's Electro was cringingly bad. Spending time for that to be your main villain in the movie is a laughable decision, it would have been okay if they used him like they did with Paul Giamatti's Rhino (which was also terrible). Clock Tower Scene was still heart(and neck)breaking.

8. Spider-Man 3

    Spider-Man 3 fell victim to itself, it tried to be much more than it was growing too far too fast. Too many villains and Tobey McGuire's over acting got the best of them. I love Tobey, grew up on his movies, he ALWAYS had the cringey over acting cry face going on in these movies. The movies were always able to overcome but this one just went too far with the emo Peter Parker dance sequence.

7. Venom

    Not a great movie. I am very heavily biased loving Tom Hardy, I think he is the best actor working so I was a sucker for this movie. It is not great, but it is also not horrible. Honestly I believe this is the best Venom storyline Sony could have done not having Spider-Man involved.

6. The Amazing Spider-Man

    So much potential in this movie, with interesting (good or bad I'll let you decide) choices to make the story of Peter's parents something.. more. Andrew Garfield was played "too cool" to be Peter Parker for most people but I thought he was a very accurate of the time loner photography smart kid. 

5. Spider-Man

    The granddaddy of them all, man I was obsessed with this movie as a child. It is where I first fell in love with Willem Dafoe's amazing acting prowess. Tobey McGuire was amazing for the time coming off Pleasantville for the role of Peter Parker. Movies today are just different but I believe the biggest plus to movies today is that people want realism in our movies and overacting and over dramatizing things have fallen to the side and are now labeled as cringe.. let's just say this movie fits those descriptors looking back on it.

4. Spider-Man: Far From Home

    I truly believe this movie looking back on will be more fondly than most of the movies on this list. It is a truly unique Spider-Man movie that shows Peter abroad working with Nick Fury* trying to stop giant elemental monsters* from destroying the Earth. We see a real Mysterio with applicable tech within universe being just all the comic book goodness we could ever want from him. This movie feels the most like a random Spider-Man comic you pick up than any other movie on this list.

3. Spider-Man 2

    This movie being at three is DEFINITLY going to get people mad at me but trust me I am not doing it for that purpose. Doc Ock is EASILY the best villain in any of these movies hands down but it just suffers from some of the same issues the entire trilogy suffers from, that style of movie just did not age well unfortunately. This was the GOAT super hero movie for a long time but slides further down the poll as the years pass and tastes change.

2. Spider-Man: Homecoming

    Spider-Man Homecoming was the first time on film Peter Parker actually felt like a high school kid who is the our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. You cannot argue that, Andrew Garfield and Tobey were simply too old and their stories never even tried to make him the loveable high schooler that he is. They were in such a rush to skip that we missed out on what made Spider-Man great. He is the everyman for high schoolers everywhere. Not to mention we get Michael Keaton playing the second best villain on this entire list in the Vulture. Getting ahead of people complaining this is an Iron Man movie, RDJ was in this 2 hour 13 minute movie for less than 15 minutes.

1. Into The Spider-Verse

    I mean, hey, who did you expect? This incredible Miles Morales movie was absolutely perfect for what it is. It balanced SO many characters it introduced for the first time to 90% of the viewing audience and had some of the most honest heartfelt moments in any movie this past decade. This absolutely breathtaking animation makes this movie top 5 by itself, then add that together with arguably the best writing and story of all 9? This was not even a debate in my head to put this rightfully at number 1.

HLS Movie Awards 2021: Streaming Award Nominees

     Welcome back to HLS Entertainment! Today we are going to be doing two things, discuss the nominees for the third annual HLS Movie Awards Streaming Award and discuss the schedule for the HLS Movie Awards. The Streaming Award honors the streaming service that had the best year putting out films, and schedule will be breaking down when to expect every blog of the Top 115 Movies of 2021 and the award nominations!     Last year was the first time we decided to add the Streaming Award because 2020 was a year that had most film fans locked away at home and had movie theaters closed. Where did this leave the piles of movies set to come out? Well, the biggest were shifted around on the movie release schedule, meanwhile the smaller non blockbuster films were either shelved, put on demand for rent, or their rights were bought up by streaming services. 2020 put us in a unique situation of having more access to higher quality films easier than normal years, and this has...

     Welcome back to HLS Entertainment! Today we are going to discuss Part 2 of the top 116 movies of 2021, this time 100-91. Part one we discussed many popular well-known movies that flopped quality wise (and box office in some cases) but this next section really begins off with a few more but ultimately are movies we enjoyed but still could have been much better. We might have loved movies you hated, or hated ones you loved, let us know in the comments or on Twitter  @HLSEntrtainment  or my personal Twitter  @HaroldLStokes .       Now like always with every movie I am going to be putting what I personally think is the safest grading scale out there, the IMDB user rating score. Here is a simple breakdown of what their 0.0-10 grading scale means: 0.1-5.0  = Horrible waste of time 5.1-6.4  = Risky might be good might be garbage 6.5-7.4  = Good solid movie 7.5+      = Movie that is widely adored / enjoyed Now ...

MCU Young Space Avengers : Will Poulter Cast as Adam Warlock

Image
POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR THE CURRENT AND FUTURE MCU            Welcome back to HLS Entertainment! Well we have been wondering about who is going to play Adam Warlock since Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 first teased the characters arrival back in 2017. Well four years later we have our answer, Will Poulter. Poulter is an excellent actor who you might know from, Midsommar, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, Maze Runner series, The Revenant, or We are the Millers. Or you might know him because you are a Tolkien nerd like me and he was cast as young Elrond and you got angry about it then you saw a side by side picture and you fell in love with the casting but then the casting changed and you kind of forgot about it until just now. Just me? Okay moving on, dude is an incredible actor I can not wait to see him as Adam Warlock.      But then I saw the other two actors who was supposedly in the final three for the casting. This apparently has been ...
