Lately, the films from " DC Comics"   have been much better than other films from previous films to come out from the folks at DC. What they have managed to do with this film, is up the ante, go all out with the story and the return of Margot Robbies "Harley Quinn".

Batman Begins (2005)  He has been a staple in the confines of comic books. And now, the legendary "Dark Knight"  gets a screen adaptation worth viewing. Unlike the 1989 " Batman"  film starring Michael Keaton, where it relied heavily on comedy, this new take on the caped-crusader is heartfelt, emotional, and amazing. Christian Bale does an amazing job in his performance as both Bruce Wayne and the Batman. Bale dawns the billionaire turned Gotham saving, Joker crushing and Bane destroying superhero in a performance that improves throughout the trilogy.

The final entry to the " Homecoming " trilogy is the best in the series. Not only is it the best in the series, but it is also the best Spider-Man film of all time without a doubt in my mind. It was the year's most anticipated film of the year and it not only lives up to the hype, but it also exceeds expectations. It has the most action I have ever seen in a Spider-Man film. The action is intense, exciting, and thrilling. The film also has the genuine heart and humor fans of the franchise, let alone the Marvel filmography as a whole, have come to expect. It will go down in cinema history as one of the most entertaining superhero films of all time.  Director Jon Watts concludes his trilogy in a fantastic fashion. He has crafted the best of the trilogy and this film is a treasure to behold. His direction in this film tops the previous two films tenfold. It has the heart, action, and humor that fans expect from a Marvel movie. The scope of the action is unlike anything I hav...
