Sean’s movie thoughts

This was good. I liked seeing the previous Spider-man actors return more than I expected. It could have come across as a gimmick.  Is this film perfect? No but it is good. There might be a few things/plot points that don't quite make sense.    Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is dealing with the results of his identity being exposed. He turns to Dr Strange for help but things go wrong and villains from other universes appear. Then other versions of Peter Parker arrive too. Would I like to see Andrew Garfield and Toby Maguire come back in their own films? Maybe. I am open to the possibility.  I liked seeing Alfred Molina again as Doctor Octopus. He was really good in that part. Three films in  this series and finally the villains don't have beef with Iron Man. They have beef with Spider-man (well versions of him). 

 I liked Death on the Nile. This is the second Hercule Poirot movie with Kenneth Branagh. (Murder on the Orient Express was the first.) Branagh is also the director, so if this movie was terrible he’d be largely to blame. Maybe the character seems a bit less mannered this time around, in a good way. A rich woman is killed during her honeymoon while on a trip in Egypt. There are several suspects, family and friends. I thought The cast was good and there were a couple of actors who surprised me. I was not familiar with some actors and one was playing a bit against type. Armie Hammer has been accused of sexual assault, so his presence in the movie might be awkward. (Reshooting his scenes with another actor might have helped but I guess that was not an option.)  I think it might be nice to watch this and Murder on the Orient Express some weekend.
