Thor: Ragnarok

Oh Thor, you always were so funny...wait...no...but this movie is practically a comedy.  Some serious LOL's unlike a lot of films whose intent is to make you laugh out loud.  A great plot that doesn't require knowledge of the previous films to understand, a heartwarming cast and some of my favorite characters in a Marvel movie yet.  Jeff Goldblum is perfect.  Recommend.


Black Panther

It's safe to say my "Super Hero Fatigue" has elapsed as it seems to be all I'll watch right now.  Black Panther was not what I expected, I honestly thought it had "something" to do with the civil rights movement, and while it does have some of those undertones, it's more about a secret civilization on Earth in current day.  It has an excellent plot, a great cast and some amazing effects.  This one is a bit less comedy focused as the other Marvel movies, but it's worth your time.  Recommend.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Alternate timelines, alternate dimensions, alternate spidermen who all come together in this film about finding yourself and becoming your best version you can be.  It's complicated, especially for a 10 year old. I had to pause this one on a few occasions to get my son up to speed.  It's a good movie with a very unique visual style, a great soundtrack and terrific voice acting.  Nicolas Cage is great in his brief "cameo".  Recommend, but I think 10 is the cutoff age if you want your child to understand the movie.
