REEL DEAL: Spider-Man: Homecoming REVIEW and How To Win Tickets!


We have been waiting for this Spidey movie for quite some time now and we finally have it. Even there has been a number of movies played by Tobbey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield, we now have Tom Holland to play the role of Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

He already debuted in Captain America: Civil War and was expected to have his own movie, but after that fans were quite worried that the story will be another reboot with Uncle Ben dying again.  The people behind the MCU assured that this won't happen again as they knew they have to stick to their own timeline which leads into bigger movies like 'Infinity War'.

Spider-Man Homecoming is also a great collaboration for Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures which is a progressive step to bring the Marvel characters into the same cinematic universe which made fans really happy. Tom Holland as the new Spider-Man is indeed great for his role and had that feel of an awkward teenager and a juvenile superhero. 

Iron Man had just the right exposure for the film to set the story, emotions, and punch lines. Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) maybe unusually hot for a "tita" but still shows a caring parental figure for Peter. Captain America, as shown in the trailers, will also be seen but not necessary to the story. Being part of the Civil War, he will definitely come back in the next Avenger's movie and also a sequel in the works as well.

"Spider-Man: Homecoming" Reveals More Teaser One-Sheets

Fresh from revealing a teaser poster yesterday, Columbia Pictures has now released two more teaser one-sheets for the new action-adventure Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The new posters continue to situate Tom Holland as Spider-Man in New York – the first poster shows him hanging from a green Brooklyn sign, while the second has him lying down in a yellow jacket with the Manhattan skyline (including the Avengers Tower) in the background.

Check out the posters below and and watch Spider-Man: Homecoming when it opens in Philippine cinemas this July 2017.

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man, who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.

Scarlett Johansson Tempts as Python, Kaa in "The Jungle Book"‏

With only her voice, Scarlett Johansson made people madly fall in love with their computer's operating system in the futuristic drama “Her.” Now, Johansson once again uses her voice to capture hearts in Disney's new family adventure “The Jungle Book,” based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories and inspired by Disney’s classic animated film.

Johansson provides the voice of Kaa sets her sights on Mowgli when she discovers him all alone in the jungle. The massive python uses her seductive voice and hypnotic gaze to entrance the man-cub, and Mowgli finds himself unable to resist her captivating embrace.

Says director Jon Favreau, “Mowgli is exploring different regions of the jungle—mistier, darker, more mysterious parts of the jungle. That’s where Kaa lives. That’s where she gets ahold of him—till Baloo rescues him and brings him back to his cave.”

"Gravity," "Avatar" Artists Tap Latest Tech for Disney's "The Jungle Book"‏

Filmmakers explored the best way to immerse audiences in the world they’d imagined in their new version of Walt Disney Pictures' reimagined “The Jungle Book.”

Says director Jon Favreau, “We asked ourselves, ‘How can we create a world? How can we use this technology, these storytelling tools to their fullest potential?’ Ideally, we wanted the audience to forget that it’s technology—they’ll just get transported.”

Filmmakers assembled a team of experts with movies like “Life of Pi,” “Gravity” and “Avatar” under their belts. Visual effects supervisor Rob Legato boarded the project very early on to design a workflow, a system and VFX pipeline, employing the very latest iteration of movie magic, which would allow his director the freedom to push the limits of what’s possible in filmmaking. “It’s a photo-real film grounded in the real world,” says Legato. “There's something very interesting about that.”

"Iron Man's" Jon Favreau Directs Disney's "The Jungle Book"‏

Acclaimed director Jon Favreau (“Iron Man”) takes audiences on a wild ride back to the jungle, in Walt Disney Pictures' all-new live-action epic adventure, “The Jungle Book.”

Based on Rudyard Kipling's classic novel, “The Jungle Book” tells the story of Mowgli, a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan, who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera, and the free-spirited bear Baloo. Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa, a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie, who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire.
