Bored silly

Rating: Null/10 (27 July 2004)

We have at least found a cure for insomnia. I am a frequent movie
goer, and that means seeing lots of bad movies along with
excellent movies, and this was the closest I've come to sacrificing
my 10 bucks and walking out during the middle.
Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire are just plain bad actors.
There's no getting around it. Anytime there was dialogue between
the two, I swore it felt like it took over an hour, with them usually
conveying the same message in the previous 2 or 3 on screen
interactions. The best character in the movie, Molina's Dr Octopus,
we don't get nearly enough of in this flick.
The plot of movie was predictable, but I was willing to accept that
on the basis of its a comic book movie, and we all know roughly
what was to come to pass anyways. So, in that regard, I was
waiting for the acting and cinematography to blow me away, and
all the movie did was put me to sleep. Even most of the action
sequences and special effects in the movie were just downright
lame. Instead of wasting your time with this drivel, rent the X men
series, thats how you translate a comic book movie onto the big
screen.
