Nothing Special....

Rating: 6/10 (18 September 2007)

At least not for me, but mind you I outgrew Spiderman long time ago (probably the same time as I did the Santa Claus), but there's something for everyone and I know there's plenty of comic books fans out-there so why not keep making the movies, right? I guess, but in that case you must face the consequences of making it fun and exciting especially when doing a 'trequel' of any kind of a movie, especially comic books. Perhaps the true comic book Spidey fans will always find something new and appealing in a movie like this, but (unfortunately) folks like me will come out of a movie theater shaking my head.
So what are my pet peeves: I'm really getting tired of seeing Tobey Maguire's face and Kirsten Dunst's grin- he is so not a superhero material and she is just.... annoying. And their break-up scene felt like a HS drama class presentation. In addition, watching Topher Grace as an arrogant/nosy geek was just like seeing Eric Forman's evil twin= both rather tedious. There were some cool special effects and funny bits, but nothing super great. And does the Spiderman have to be such a softy all the time? He can't even kill a guy who killed his uncle or whop anyone's ass without the help of the black evil force which makes him into a pompous ass prancing and dancing around. And making fun of the French is sooo last year, but I guess flying heroically around the American flag in his face is always in style- go figure. And just as Harry and Spidey become friends again Harry dies. Lame.
