edit data

Raised in the Bronx, Michael Formichelli has been a die-hard fan of science fiction and fantasy since his mother first let him stay up late to watch Star Trek re-runs in the early 1980's.

Along with a passion for sci-fi, Michael is a lover of all things science related from astronomy to biology and beyond.

No Way Homeboy

Spider Man Returns x 3!Huh, that's actually a funnier title than I thought...
Anyway.

Watched this one on Christmas Eve of 2021, in the theater! (Mask on the whole time, didn't even have popcorn or soda).

Overall, I really did like it. Marvel made great use of the multiverse concept to bring back some old favorites. It was great seeing Willem Dafoe and Alfred Molina again in their roles of the Green
