The Amazing Spider-man

The spider-man reboot will be swinging into cinemas 4th July. Replacing Tobey Maguire as the human spider is Brit Andrew Garfield. Love interest will come in the form of Emma Stone whilst the baddie’s shoes will be filled by fellow Brit Rhys Ifans. We were treated to a sneak peek of the film when the first full trailer was released on Friday. In case you haven’t seen it, here it is again.

Avengers Assemble

Although it’s been out for over a week, Avengers Assemble is still very much on our minds. Arguably the best Marvel product of recent years, Joss Whedon’s film subtly balances humour and action even in its effects-heavy scenes. The film has broken all records and now holds the title of biggest opening weekend, having taken $200.3 million in the U.S. and a staggering $575 million worldwide. Read our review!
