Sam Rami is the Joel Schumacher of the Spider-man Franchise

Rating: 1/10 (11 May 2007)

Sam Rami is the Joel Schumacher of the Spider-man franchise. We can only hope someday years from now a director will come along and create a Spider-man movie with an actual story. He is so bad in fact that he can't even make Parker/Spider-man likable. He's dumb in love. He's a cocky loser who admires himself on TV and smirks like an idiot when he spies adoring fans. He's a Cry-baby. He's a greasy, disco dancing loser. He's a Cry-baby again. Then he's a mean, greasy, swinging, hip-cat, loser. And in all the movies he comes off as naive - but not young and naive - but annoying and stupid naive...like he was a home schooled kid and learned about love from 1960's TV and greeting cards. There is not 1 scene in the movie he's likable. And the screenplay is so bad that I counted 7 acts that were totally contrived and filled with cliché' and contradiction. A monkey in a coma could have written a better screenplay. Pathetic. They should have donated the $258 million dollar budget to some charity that helps monkey writers in comas. Poor monkeys.
