Constantly hitting my head

Rating: Null/10 (29 June 2002)

Why did I see this?! My brother was constantly telling me that some people he knows liked it. I kept trying to say no, but I kept saying, "I don't know." Eventually, I just decided to go see it.
Just when he gets his spider-powers, the film documents how headache-inducing the camerawork can be, constantly moving when he's swinging around. I didn't like the idea of unlimited web shooting--after all, it must have provided a challenge in the comics, and he's a science whiz, so what's to stop him from designing something like that? It showed where it stuck at one point (a crane at a construction site), but after that, we have few ideas of where it could stick! And, they stole from other movies, such as the much more enjoyable "Arthur" (about getting to the neighborhood through multiple rides), and the boring "Episode 1" (about Mary Jane being an "angel").
I have got to stop believing the majority. (Well, in the case of "Minority Report," maybe I should believe them.) Why do you need a comics adaption of every single comic book?
Make more movies like "Cube," "Waking Life," "Pi," or at least "AI: Artificial Intelligence," Hollywood! Or, to Sam Raimi, go back to making movies like "Darkman." It wasn't very great, but it was way better than selling out!
