My Take on the film

This is an amazing film and one that kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I was intrigued by the bringing together of the multiverses and loved seeing all of the characters coming together in one place for an ultimate showdown. The writing was strong, acting superb and to be hones by the end I was hoping to see more of these actors together as the future continues. While Peter has to make some difficult choices, I still want the best for this friendly neighborhood hero and I am hoping for the best as future movies continue. Also, this movie opens the door to the future of the multiverse with Doctor Strange and beyond and I cannot wait to see what is next. In my opinion, I thought this movie was one of the best Spider-Man movies thus far!

Marvel Movies Your Kids Need To Watch This Spring

April 27, 2021 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

As a parent, one of the biggest challenges you face is entertaining the kids while they are at home. From giving them books to read, a craft table to play with, or bringing them to the park for football – there are many choices you can make but many of them involve active involvement.

If you are looking for a way to keep the kids entertained while you do other things around the house this week – TV is a great idea. There are various types of gadgets your kids can enjoy throughout the day but TV is always a great way to keep them calm and out of trouble while you do things around the house.

Today we want to talk specifically about Marvel Movies and the MCU. If your child has never seen a Marvel movie before – we have some great choices to start them off with that will introduce them to key characters, teach them important moral lessons, and provide them with entertainment.

Avengers Assemble

The first film you should get your children to watch this spring is Avengers Assemble which came out in 2012. This is the first team-up for the titular team and will allow your children to get to know some of the best superheroes around in a fun story that has many layers. This movie features Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, and Black Widow and is a brilliant action and adventure film all around.

Iron Man

Iron Man is a film that came out in 2008 and is the birth of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Iron Man, or Tony Stark, is a selfish billionaire who learns throughout the film how to become a hero and put others first. There is some amazing action in this film as well as humor making it a perfect choice for the kids at the weekend.

Captain America: Civil War

Steve Rogers is perhaps the most stereotypical hero in the whole MCU. His courage and good heart make him the perfect role model for your kids. This third installment in his trilogy features the biggest cast of superheroes before Infinity War and it also introduces the world to Spider-Man and Black Panther for the first time. You child will love the epic airport battle as well as seeing all of their favorite heroes interacting together for the first time.

Ant-Man

Ant-Man might have a silly name but this film is not only funny but also an example of a brilliant heist movie. Your kids will love the playful way that Paul Rudd portrays Scott Lang and you’ll be able to see some hilarious action sequences including a giant Thomas the Tank Engine toy. It is a great movie to watch for a laugh as well as a relatable superhero that shows anyone is capable of greatness if they just work for it and believe.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is known for its epic films as well as the intricate plot that weaves through every film. But as well as this, each hero has a story, and lessons are learned throughout that your children can also learn positively from.

Spider Man Far From Home – Fun For the Whole Family

October 1, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

The other day I had a ton of fun watching Spider Man Far From Home with my family. We tried out a ton of fun activities (listed below) and even made a Mysterio Cupcake. Even better though, we got to spend time together as a family and take in a great movie that really moved the story along for Spider Man. As a lifelong Spider Man fan, I have loved seeing this character come to the big screen. There have been some versions that have been better than others, but for me Tom Holland and his portrayal of Spider Man has been the best of the movie Spider Man characterizations.

I have to say that I was excited to see the first Marvel release after Endgame and I wanted to see what would happen with Peter Parker and others coming back after being gone for 5 years. After watching this movie I have to say that it blew me away. The CGI and effects were amazing and the character of Mysterio is one that you have to question as you go through the movie. I felt that the writers did a good job at encapsulating the essence of Mysterio from the comics in this movie portrayal.

The Director did a great job in this film to tie in End Game and even some connections with past Spider Man movies. I also loved seeing Peter and MJ getting closer and finally looking at the relationship that they have. (I am trying not to offer any spoilers)

This is definitely a movie that I would highly recommend for all. The movie leaves you on the edge of your seat, and I, for one, cannot wait for Spider Man to return!

My Take on the Movie

As someone that saw all of the Marvel Universe movies leading up to this one, I was very excited about seeing this movie and seeing how they pulled everything together in the end. Not that this is the last Marvel Universe movie, but it is the end of an era in many cases and the start of something new as well. I felt that the movie did a great job at bringing together the many stories into one cohesive story that tied up most of the loose ends in the end. The movie was action packed and had its’ share of drama throughout. While there was plenty of CG, there also was great acting throughout as well. I have to say that I loved the action scenes and even though it is a long movie, you will be sitting on the edge of your seat throughout and the time flies by before you know it. This movie really does pull together all of the characters that have made the Avengers franchise shine. You will love seeing them both together and alone. You will love the action sequences and seeing the war happen is totally remarkable. I will not give out spoilers if you have not seen it, but it is worth the time and the build up and Marvel tied this series up well in my opinion!

Captain Marvel – Girl Power in Action

June 15, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

My Take on the Movie
As a father of girls I was very excited to be able to introduce my daughters to Captain Marvel. As a comic book fan Captain Marvel has always been a favorite of mine because of the powers that she had but also because of the heart that she brought to the page and to her role as a superhero. I don’t know if my daughter is as excited as I was to see the movie but in leaving the movie I can tell you that they loved every minute of the movie experience.

If you have not seen this movie yet I highly recommend that you do. It gives some back story that will help you to better understand Avengers Endgame as well. Also, as a person that grew up in the 1980’s I loved all of the references and fine detail that was put into the movie to allow the 1980’s to shine. There truly was a huge amount of detail, down to the movies that were on the shelves at Blockbuster.

Beyond this, the movie also has a great story behind it. I knew a lot of the backstory Captain Marvel, but this allows you to experience it in a whole new way. You also will not be lost if you have never read or if you don’t know anything about this character. The nice thing about the movie is it could easily stand alone from other superhero films , in my opinion.

There also is a sense of girl power that is in this movie that was refreshing. In other superhero movies there have been some female Heroes that have taken in center stage but this movie truly is the first that has allowed a single character that is female to stand out. Well, there may be other movies in the future that will do something similar, this movie is one that paved the way for others to follow.

All-in-all this was a movie that I loved and I would highly recommend this to any superhero fan.

Time for an Ant-Sized Movie Night Watching Ant-Man & The Wasp

October 14, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

This past weekend my kids and I decided to have an Ant-Sized Movie Night watching the new Ant-Man & the Wasp movie. If you have yet to see Ant-Man & The Wasp, this movie follows Scott Lang who is a father grappling with the consequences of his choices as the superhero ‘Ant-Man’ in the aftermath of “Captain America: Civil War.”

As he struggles to rebalance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he’s confronted by Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside the Wasp as the team works together to uncover secrets from the past.

My Take on the Movie

My daughters and I loved the new Ant-Man & The Wasp movie. As fans of the first movie and all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, this movie added a lot to the Universe while also setting the stage for a tie-in with the most recent Avengers movie. You see, even in the end of the movie you can see that not only is there is a true tie-in to the Avengers Infinity Gauntlet film and the future of the Marvel Universe and you are left on pins and needles as you want to know what happens next.

I will say that seeing the character of Scott Lang doing whatever he could to be a great dad is exactly what I needed the day that I saw it. The movie has some great characters and we loved being able to have an engaging plot as well that brought forward a new “villain.” The movie has a strong plot and humor that will keep you chuckling throughout the movie.

I loved seeing Ant-Man growing and shrinking in size and The Wasp was a great add to this movie, as both characters have to learn to work together. My daughters liked to see a strong female character that stood up for the things that she believed in and so did I.

If you have not seen this movie, I highly recommended it. I would recommend seeing Ant-Man first to give you some context to what you are seeing in the film itself.

Our Take on the Movie

This was a movie that my whole family was excited about seeing. This past weekend we snuggled down for dinner and a movie!

We have all seen all of the other movies that have led up to this. After seeing this movie I have to say that it is one of the darker of the movies in the Marvel Universe of movies. Throughout the movie you will feel the true threat that is threatening humanity.

This movie brings together so many of the Marvel characters that you have seen over the past 18 films. The movie is non stop action and suspense. You are brought through the entire movie on pins and needles as you wonder what will happen and whether Thanos will collect all of the Infinity stones.

There were so many characters in this movie and what was great was that the movie gave most of the characters great moments. For me I have to say that some of the standouts for me were probably Zoe Saldana as Gamora, and Josh Brolin as Thanos. You believed their relationship as daughter and father respectively and you felt the emotional consequences of their relationship and what that relationship entailed. Thanos also was the main focus of this film. He is an amazing villain! There are points throughout the film that you have to wonder the motivations of Thanos, but there are people I have spoken to that some that have even said that at times they found themselves agreeing with some of Thanos’ reasonings.

I will say that you really need to have some concept of the other movies to be able to understand this movie. Also, you need to have some sense of the Marvel Universe in this movie as well because of all of the characters that are in the movie itself.

Overall, this is an amazing comic book movie, but even more so an incredible movie for young and old.
