The first Spider-Man movie. Again. But this time with more Iron Man. That's right, folks, Spider-Man is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Introduced in Captain America: Civil War, this film follows Peter Parker (Tom Holland) as he longs to be a part of The Avengers. Too bad that pesky thing called High School is in the way. The awesome Michael Keaton stars as Adrian Toomes, aka The Vulture, as the film's main villain. How does this film rank compared to previous Spider-Man films? Let us know what you think about it! www.cinemaheroes.com

Had you ever heard of the Guardians, because John and Justin sure hadn't. It was a bit of a gamble on Marvel's part. This movie could have been a big flop but went on to be a huge success.

Based on the hugely popular Nintendo game, Super Mario Bros. was the first movie to be based on a video game. Although it's safe to say that it doesn't quite resemble the game much. This week the guys dive into the 1993 flop that brought Mario and Luigi to the big screen.
