Makes Toy Story look live action

Rating: 3/10 (7 May 2002)

Before I get to the disection of this movie, I must begin with the background of course. When I was young, Spiderman comics were the best. I used to read it all the time. When I heard Sam Raimi and Spiderman, I thought it would be nothing shy of greatness. The Evil Dead series, Darkman, the Gift, and a Simple Plan have all been great. He has had his strikes (For Love of the Game and Quick and the Dead), but so has pretty much every director. Onward with the review. I know a friend who works at a theater so I had my own private showing. At about 12:00 am, the event began. A little over two hours later, I was horrified.
The Good: For one, the story was really good. Take note I said "story". Another huge plus was the cameo of all cameos by the immortal Bruce Campbell. Where is his supporting actor nom? Two thumbs up Bruce.
Now, without too many spoilers, the Bad: Where should I start? Hmm. Ok. First off, when Pete starts using his powers, he climbs up a building and runs across rooftops jumping. Let me just say, when he is running across the rooftop the effects were so AWFUL that it looked like Woody from Toy Story was doing the stunt work. After that, it was all down hill. The world of cinema must learn: At least attempt to make it look real. But why would they have to with a $114 million dollar opening. And if you can't make look real, try a different attmept. Usually with bad CG, you can ignore it. Not in this film. This movie made Blade 2 (another awful example of CG from hell) look like the Matrix. Now, remember when I said it had a good story? Please, do not confuse that with the dialog. The dialog between Parker and MJ was so awkwardly aweful, it actually made me feel awkward. It was terrible. I know that the comic had better dialog. If they did, why would you read it? Hmm. David Koepp is the man, but not with this web of filth. Now to the finish. Green Goblin. Not so much the charactar am I complaining about, but the HIDEOUS costume. It looked like it came from the clearance bin in your local halloween supplier.
All in all, 3 out of 10. And you can keep my spelling mistakes.
