Read One Critic, Read 'Em All

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2007)

Apparently, everyone panning the new Spidey flick read the first critical comments and decided to rephrase them while saying exactly the same things. Get over it, guys...
Are there plot holes? Yes. Too many villains/social problems for Spidey/Peter in one movie? Yeah, probably. Is Tobey in the same acting class as De Niro, Hoffman, or Pacino? No, and we all knew that. Was Venom underused in the movie (and would most of us like to see him back for SM4)? Yep. So, it had some faults, but how 'bout this?:
Did Raimi do a very good job with the movie? Yes.
Did the movie drag along or bog down w/ soap opera bits instead of comic book-like action? No. (anybody else yawn thru Fantastic 4?)
Cool action? Good effects? Kirsten Dunst? Yes. Yes. Yes.
Good movie and well worth $20 (ticket,lrg popcorn,lrg coke)? Yes.
Anybody wishing they had gone to see Georgia Rule, Next, or 28 Weeks Later instead? I seriously doubt it.
Was it a good, entertaining, and much better than most third-of-the-trilogy movies you've seen? Yes.
Relax and enjoy yourselves. I've gotta believe it will be WAY better than "Rise of the Silver Surfer"...
"'nuff said" ? Yes.
