Despite numerous stumbling blocks leading up to the release of No Way Home including a temporary ending to the MCU/Disney and Sony deal, Covid protocols and the uncertainty that both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield would be willing to return. But it all worked out in the end with a pretty crowdpleasing experience at the time and a box office to the tune of 1.9 billion dollars. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.

Luckily he has the help of a magical green smoke spewing hero in the form of Mysterio, a being from a parallel dimension who’s only out to do good.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (Extended)
After the cinematic lows of The Amazing Spider-Man series it was time for another Spider-Man reboot, this time by folding him into the MCU. After his first appearance as Peter Park in Captain America: Civil War, Tom Holland got his own (sort of) movie dealing with the trials and tribulations of being a high school superhero. Going up against Michael Keaton’s Vulture and his terrible surrogate dad in Tony Stark/Iron Man the film did a great job at youthifying the franchise and taking the character in a new direction. Which some people like and some people don’t. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (Extended)
With the third on screen adaptation of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory arriving with Timothee Chalamet as Wonka we thought we’d take it back to where it all began. Tim Burton’s adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic starring Johnny Depp. Sure there was the beloved 1971 version starring Gene Wilder but that’s boring! And old! The people want something slightly newer and worse. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.

Godzilla Vs. Kong (Extended)
After three movies and multiple hints Godzilla VS Kong arrived in cinemas (and streaming) in 2021. The promise of two classic movies titans going head to head was fulfilled in addition to the inclusion of the Mechagodzilla hollow earth, holograms, magical flying ships and more. And all in all it manages to deliver everything you’d want from a Godzilla VS Kong confrontation. Thanks for watching!

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (Extended)
After a King Kong centric prequel things return to Godzilla himself in Godzilla: King of the Monsters! The idea with this Monsterverse entry being to bring in other legendary creatures including King Ghidora, Mothra, Rodan and for one gigantic epic battle. And sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn’t. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.

Kong: Skull Island (Extended)
Instead of jumping directly into another Godzilla movie after Godzilla 2014 the inexplicable decision was made to make a King Kong prequel set during the events of the Vietnam War. Completely revamping the character in a new narrative absolutely pays off in what is one of the more more fun, gory and entertaining Monsterverse movies that brings together Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Sam Jackson and more. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.

Godzilla 2014 (Extended)
Godzilla 2014 managed to kick off a new era of monster movies, now titles the Monsterverse. Directed by Gareth Edwards of Rogue One/The Creator fame it became the latest americanized attempt to revamp Godzilla for the west after the disaster that was Godzilla 1998. Whilst it might not be everyone’s cup of tea we thought it was pretty good with the inclusion of Bryan Cranston, new creatures in the form of the Muto’s and the biggest Godzilla we had every seen. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II (Extended)
Great news. We’re finally at the end of The Hunger Games trilogy and by that I mean the second part of the third movie.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I (Extended)
Because Harry Potter split it’s last book into two movies and it worked really one that one time a decision was made to take the weakest book in The Hunger Games franchises, Mockingjay and do the same. The result is two reeeeeally drawn out movies that pretty much ground the series to a sputtering halt. (more…)

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Extended)
After the huge success of the first Hunger Games an adaptation of the sequel book was inevitable. So a year later in 2013 Jennifer Lawrence returns as Katniss Everdeen in a bigger budgeted follow up that asks the question, what if Hunger Games but more? With great new inclusion like Phillip Seymor Hoffman and…I dunno a poison fog or whatever this entry turned out to be the biggest box office return for the series before the decline.
