lack of style...

Rating: 6/10 (9 May 2002)

I don't know... I seem to be one of the only people here that didn't really enjoy the film. It was okay but... Maybe because I was deceive that this film didn't have the suspense of A simple plan, the emotions of The Gift or the fun mixes with visual style of the Evil Dead series. Maybe because I was deceive of not finding in the screening the richfuls colours of the preview, or maybe was I just deceive because the Green Goblin looks like a Power Ranger... This movie is a great blockbuster but it was done knowing that it would be a sucess. What I mean is that the preproduction (the Green Goblin again, what Mary Jane -where's Gwen Stacy?- wears (expensive clothes there for the girl-next-door) and the postproduction (people go crazy on the effects but look a Peter Parker when he jumps from building to building before he have the suit and all the CG scenes that have the Green Goblins, they look like FX done for the TV...) where done too quickly. Finally, maybe I was expecting too much (even if I didn't think so) but Raimi's Spiderman is inferior, to me, of Burton's Batman (that got that visual style i'm talking about) and even X-Men or, I'll even say, The Mask!
