Thanks for the warnings... I'm not gonna watch this movie

Rating: Null/10 (6 May 2007)

Dear fellow Spidey-lovers
After having carefully read dozens of your "avoid at all costs!" comments, my bro and I, who are Spidey fans and even have collections of Spidey-stuff, are not gonna watch this movie - not even on DVD.
I for one am not gonna be knowingly ripped off. Just because a movie is called "Spiderman" doesn't give its makers license to indulge themselves at my - and it seems thousands of other - Spidey fans' expense. It seems that Raimi & Co (couldn't he afford a professional screenwriter?) should be charged with Culture Treason - for taking a treasured national icon and destroying it for personal gain.
This picture reminds me of Titanic. There, the makers also knew that no matter how badly they wrote the story, people would pay money just to watch the spectacle of that great ship going down.
Raimi & Sony are, of course, cackling with laughter all the way to the bank, while our beloved Spiderman lies dying in the gutter, coughing Spidey-blood. If they happened to see him there as they walked past, they might even kick him in the mouth and larf, just for fun.
What a travesty.
