waiting for the punchline...

Rating: 2/10 (16 May 2007)

this movie is...well...boring. what has happened to the world of film? i know that spider-man is based on a comic book, and therefore cliché's and cheesiness are built in and to be expected; but this is just ridiculous. the endless line of ridiculous cliché scenes and cheesy lines leaves the viewer wondering when the actors will suddenly burst into laughter, look straight into the camera and say "sorry man i just can't say that". It honestly feels like you are watching a spoof movie. i broke into laughter and almost walked out of the theater at one nauseously patriotic scene involving a flag (anyone who has seen the film will know).
The special effects on this film are modern and well put together. but that is not as entertaining as it once was. It has all been seen before; we know pretty much anything can be shown now, so there's no shock value. The storyline and general plot of this movie had nothing; it was flat, repetitive and boring. it may seem forward and harsh but its just true, i wish i could have those 2 and a half hours back. and the villains? supposedly an important factor in a superhero movie; how can we feel for or even fear a villain if there is minimal character development? and why 3 weakly developed villains instead of one strong one? big Hollywood studio trash. what happened to the beauty of movies? all in
