The Amazing Money Spinner

Rating: 5/10 (2 December 2012)

I felt nothing when this film finished, not even entertained, thats its problem. Its soul less, filled with average special effects, empty characters and a thin plot.
Someone mentioned twilight, I understand that - maybe I am a little old for what appears to be more a teen film than say The Dark Knight trilogy, Watchmen or hell even Captain America.
Andrew Garfield is the loner, sulky guy who mumbles a lot but doesn't have to try very hard for Emma Stone to like him. Add to that the complete lack of chemistry between them (on screen) that for some reason has them standing round in corridors mumbling to each other for what seemed like forever.
I love superhero films, but I am getting a little bored with the CGI crap fests which I thought Batman had ridden us of. This unfortunately is one of them. Sam Raimi's films suffered the same however at least had likable characters. I didn't get the point of the police chief, Uncle Ben was confusing, the build up to Spider man first appearing was under cooked and the finale was poor (and shown in the trailer)
Then we have the Lizard. Another bad CGI cartoon jumping around smashing things. To be honest during the 'fight' scenes I was bored with the shoddy special effects that don't really look any better than the previous films.
Finally my biggest complaint. Lets not get confused about why this film was made. To make more money. If it was a great film, that would be forgiven but its not.
