Same old stuff

Rating: 5/10 (5 July 2017)

So here we are again, ANOTHER Spiderman reboot that nobody really wanted. Who'd of thought, Spidey was Tony Starks bitch all along. I have seen ALL of the other recent Spidey movies and this did not add anything new, i'm just glad I didn't have to sit through the whole "bitten by a radioactive spider" story again. Although I thought Tom Holland was a good Spidey he's actually 21 NOT 15, why not get an actual teenager to play PP instead of adult actors having to play kids!! The story and writing were very weak and in general I found the whole film to be rather boring, predictable, irritatingly noisy with the usual set-ups and a less than threatening villain, also PP lives in the most ethnically diverse world ever!! this felt rather forced and fake to me. My problem with these heavily CG films is that you are not actually watching REAL people so therefore there isn't any feel of dread for the characters on screen, who cares if a CG teenager dressed as a spider is being chased by a CG old man dressed as a vulture!! I realise I am not the target audience for this type of film but at the end of the day "a good film is a good film" regardless of the age group it's aimed at. I'm sure early teen boys will find it "awesome" but it left me rather cold and underwhelmed. Definitely not worthy of all the hype.
