critics have no judgment whatsover

Rating: 2/10 (9 August 2004)

the critics in the US and the UK all went for this, all because the name of the director is sam raimi, now i am a great fan of mr. raimi he has made some great film, spiderman and spiderman 2 are not among them, like burton's batman films they are both boring and badly made. spidey one was really really bad, 2 fares a little bit better but not much. lets start with the script unbelievable tosh. in spidey 1 uncle ben and aunt may seem to have a nice little abode, with peter parker staying there and helping to provide. uncle ben dies in the first movie so what does parker do he moves out leaving his aunt to fend for herself, so she has to find the mortgage and he has to find rent for a sleaze dump. parker has these great powers, the powers of a spider quick thinking, fast acting, so how come when he is not spiderman he is a dork and a loser, at least clark kent pretended to be a buffoon but our dear friend here is hopeless at everything. the first 90 minutes or so (although it seemed an eternity ) was nothing but parker losing this, getting trod on and endlessly moping about MJ. and even raimi's attempt at humour fall totally flat, the cupboard scene when he delivers the pizzas is to long by far, no timing here at all. the cgi was crap and this cost $200million, and the whole plot utterly predictable. why does everyone think this movie is dark, it is about as dark as a teletubbies episode. now daredevil was a great dark and moody film, a masterpiece compared to this drivel. how bad will 3 be
