The MCU project: Spiderman: Far From Home [2019]

Spiderman: Far From Home is far superior at some points and far inferior at some points to the last Spiderman film. Far From Home was rather predictable at some points although there were some comedic scenes, such as when Peter … Continue reading →

The MCU Project: Avengers Endgame [2019]
