![]() ![]() (02:00) From Sept of 1980 Stan Lee presents ASM 208 “Fusion!” written by Danny O’Neil, layouts by John Romita, JR, Finished art by Allen Milgrom & Brett Breeding All this and more in a super-sized six pack of Amazing Spider-Man goodness. James B and Eddie discuss Aunt May’s change of heart about Spider-Man, whether Peter should work at the Daily Bugle and if that newspaper should be shut down. I recommend this to any fan of the genre, Arnie, and possibly Jones and/or Sydow, as well.Episode 157. ![]() I would advise against reading the Trivia entries, or at least all of them, before the viewing, as they do give some things away. This builds atmosphere skillfully, and the amount of dialog and where it occurs is chosen with care. Cinematography and editing are top-notch. Dialog varies, but most of it is marvelous, both writing and delivery. ![]() Sound is reasonable, a lot of lines seem ADR'ed, but the music is masterful. ![]() Special effects are magnificent, and not just for the time it was made. Vast sets and locations, detailed costumes and props, countless extras. Production values are of notably high quality for the entire feature. Jones is a more intimidating presence elsewhere, but he's not bad at all. The action is well-done, intense and with great choreography. The pacing is pretty much flawless, I was never bored. The plot is quite good, and I understand it does incorporate several elements and occurrences from the original stories by Howard(R.I.P.). Be forewarned, there is some sexuality(not many places, but when it's there, it can be strong), a lot of violence, and a seemingly endless stream of death throughout this, and you should only watch this if you are prepared for(and able to tolerate) such. Really, what more could you ask of this film? I have not read any of Howard's stories, so all I know about Conan is how many times the character has been done, and of course what this film told me. Clear effort and care, that shows, in every department. ![]()
