Like most people, I think Zack Snyder is a flawed director. His films tend to have weak characters, and messy story lines. However, his visuals are fantastic. In fact, he might be one of the best visual directors working today. All his films are beautifully shot, and are a treat to look at. Man Of Steel is no exception. Watching Superman take off from the ground, soaring through the sky, and cracking the earths sound barrier is as epic as it sounds.
I don't think Henry Cavil's Superman is as good as Chrisopher Reeve's portrayal of the character, but he certainly gives an exceptional performance. The rest of the cast is also decent.
My main problems with the film are mostly due to the villain, General Zod. His story arc, and motivations are incredibly cliché, and sometimes ridiculous. And his fight scenes with Superman are FAR too destructive. I'm almost positive that Superman kills more than he actually saves in this film.
But regardless of the films flaws, I do think Man Of Steel is one of Snyder's most underrated films. The visuals are fantastic, the acting is decent, the story is interesting and the score is beautiful. Definitely give this one a watch if you're a fan of the character.

I was never personally a HUGE fan of the Resident Evil series. I played some of them, and enjoyed some of them, but they're definitely not masterpieces. At least in my opinion. Resident Evil: Biohazard is the seventh entry in the Resident Evil series. Is it good? Kind of. The game is certainly flawed.
Pros:
Cons:
So yes, the game has a fair amount of pro's and cons, however, I still enjoyed it. If you're a fan of Resident Evil, definitely check this one out. If you're a fan of Survival/Horror, you might enjoy this. But if you were someone expecting something more than just your typical horror game, you won't find it here. This is a very by the numbers horror game, that has some cool things in it, but offers nothing new to it's genre.
8/10
Pros:
- It runs smoothly - The voice acting is decent - VERY atmospheric - A variety of weapons, which makes the game pretty fun at times - Some cool moments, that I'm avoiding to talk about due to spoilers - Interesting story
Cons:
- The graphics are painfully average for a game made in 2017 - VERY repetitive, and sometimes annoying enemies - Nearly ever moment in this game is scripted - Though it's a fictional game, some moments are logically ridiculous - Every scare in this game is extremely predictable - Offer's nothing new to the survival/horror genre

Okay, I'll start off by saying that I'm a bit bias. I LOVE Spidey. He's been my favorite fictional character since birth, so understandably, I would love this film. But I don't love this film, because I love the character in it. I love this film simply because it is a great film.
Nearly every character in Spider-Man 2 is completely fleshed out. Even the villain has a motivation, and a reason behind his actions. That's something that I've always appreciated in a film. When you can emphasize and get behind each character. ESPECIALLY Spider-Man. You really feel his struggle through out the film. Him trying to be there for his Aunt, trying to keep a friendship, trying to be a super-hero, and trying to be there for his girlfriend all gets extremely overwhelming for the viewer. And that, to me, is fantastic writing. Sam Raimi really understood Spider-Man so well, which makes so many memorable scenes in this film like, the train fight sequence, the "Spider-Man No More" scene, and Peter walking down the street, eating a hot dog, while "Raindrops keep falling on my head" plays in the background.
Sure, there are a couple of flaws In this film like Kirsten Dunsts acting, but that's really just a nit-pick, because nearly every one else does a fantastic job portraying their characters. Tobey Maguire is an excellent Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Alfred Molina is a VERY menacing and interesting Doctor Octopus, and J.K Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson is easily one of the best casting decisions ever made.
Everything I just talked about, is why Spider-Man 2 is such a great movie, and why it's my favorite movie of all time. I can go on talking about how good this film is, but I think you get the point. If you haven't seen this film yet, please do so. It's really that good.
