My Take on the Book
This was a great book that offers a fun series of reviews of a ton of comic book movies that cover an array of different movies. I will say that it does cover a few of the movies that you would expect. I loved that the book explores the stories behind the movies. It does not cover a ton of the Marvel movies and maybe that means there will be a second book.
