Every Spider-Man Movie’s Rotten Tomatoes Score
The MCU just wrapped up the sprawling Infinity Saga, but there's no rest for Spider-Man. Peter Parker is back in action in Spider-Man: Far From Home, the first movie to explore the post-Endgame MCU. And judging from Rotten Tomatoes, which generates aggregate review scores based on individual critics' reviews, it's already clear this latest sequel is a hit with critics.
Spider-Man: Far From Home's Tomatometer rating has been revealed. The movie is "certified fresh," currently sitting at 91% after 125 reviews.
Spider-Man: Far From Home, Close to Gold
You can check out our review of Far From Home here, where we said, "Spider-Man: Far From Home is a grandly entertaining culmination of the MCU wall-crawler’s journey so far. Thanks to its sweet humor, clever commentary, and deft action set-pieces, Far From Home continues the journey of Peter Parker from kid hero to Tony Stark’s successor. The movie sets the table for some exciting new adventures ahead for Spider-Man and his place in the MCU, pitting him against an antagonist who preys on Peter Parker’s fears and insecurities in ways no other villain quite has yet. Far From Home ends Marvel's Phase Three with a hell of a bang, thrusting its young wallcrawler into a treacherous but hugely exciting new era."
8 Wii U Games We Want to See on Nintendo Switch
With the release of Super Mario Maker 2 on Nintendo Switch this week, more of the Wii U’s library finds some sort of representation on the Switch, which is great considering how little time people had to really experience some of its best titles. Whether via sequels or ports, Nintendo has slowly been bringing the best of the Wii U games to its current console.
But even with Splatoon and Mario Maker sequels, Captain Toad and New Super Mario Bros. U ports and more, there are still treasured gems of the Wii U trapped on Nintendo’s last-gen system. Here are seven Wii U ports Nintendo should make (or franchises to at least consider sequels for), instead of just leaving all this unspent money in my wallet.
Spider-Man: Far From Home Won’t Feature These Two Villains

The Avengers: Endgame Re-Release Disappoints
Avengers: Endgame has been ruling multiplexes since its release in May where it made an astonishing $2.75 billion during its cinematic release.

But the big question is whether or not the new additions make the cost of entry worthwhile, so we headed out to check out the earliest possible screening of the extended cut of Avengers: Endgame, so we could report our findings. Here's everything you need to know about the extra Avengers: Endgame footage that hits screens today.
