Everyone who has ever seen one Wes Anderson film knows exactly what a Wes Anderson film looks like. His signature style has made him a lot of fans and admirers over the years, and it has also earned him some notable imitators.

However, it was also poorly paraphrased in the disappointing reboot — Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man.  Continue reading “REVIEW: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)” →
