One of the greatest MARVEL characers “SPIDER-MAN” struck the cinemas and made it big. Lots of cash for no time. Bravo ! Bravo ! Bravo !
But my question is “was that deserved”? Was it really such a good movie, or was the popularity of that comic creation just used to summon the fans and take their money? …….most likely disappoint them as well….
I watched the movie today and was quite amazed by it’s simplicity in general. Well, I must admit that even I have almost grown up with this character [considering the fact that I’m quite far away from the country where it was devised, but the comics are more than popular >>>they are more than famous, and I think that almost each and every kid worldwide has read and enjoyed the heroic deeds of Spider-man, or at least heard of him] and it was about time a movie was made. So far so good This year the movie SPIDER-MAN became a fact.
“ Finally” some would say. Sure - but was that long wait worth it?
As I said at the beginning of this paragraph my first [and I think final] impression was that the movie as a whole was terribly simple. No any special visual Fx, good plot nor something specific to keep the attention of the audience.
Typical Battle of GOOD vs EVIL. A plain love story[which was maybe the only thing which kept me on my seat till the end – but even here I was disappointed. The scene with Peter and MJ at the graveyard was such a cliché], one rather funny than scary villain, some really amiable actors [that of course, alone, was not enough to make the movie better] and a little bit of jumping here and there. To be honest nothing special, even dull and boring. And what mostly shocks me is how could this movie make so much money and break almost all records [I have no particular info but I heard it has sold as much as S.W EPI and TITANIC which are at the top of the record charts].
Or you know what. Maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t like it?
You can share your opinions of the movie here and I’d like to hear them.
