I like Spiderman, Wolverine and Mr. Fantastic.
My favorite Marvel characters are Wolverine and Gambit. Did not get a chance to see Venom yet. I hope that I win.
I haven’t seen venom yet, but I’m waiting to buy the blu ray. I had some friends who saw it and said it was okay , but not “spiderman” worthy.
I wasnt super hyped to see this at first but people seemed to be pretty positive on it
I haven’t seen it yet either. Hoping soon. ~Tom
