Big Disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (8 December 2012)

I just ordered this movie over pay-per view, expecting it to be different. In my mind, I was thinking of the difference from Christopher Nolan's Batman, from the earlier Batmans. (Christian Bale vs Val Kilmer). Nolan's Batmans being much more sophisticated and realistic, than the older Batman movies from the 90's, with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr Freeze, or Jim Carry's joker.
But it was just the same as the original 3 spider man movies. Something more for kids.
I couldn't believe it when he started goofing around with the guy who was stealing the car. Shouting and mouthing off. Only a 9 year old with a silly sense of humour could enjoy that.
I think this actor was also really bad. He seems like an arrogant little kid. Were we supposed to feel good about him beating up the so called bully, "flash"? When all he was doing was playing basketball? The ball knocked over the girls paint can. I mean it wasn't intentional. He was playing ball and that's what happens. So were we supposed to feel good about this guy getting what he deserved? Because all I saw was an arrogant little prick, picking a fight because he got new powers.
There were a couple enjoyable parts. Dr. Connors was a good actor and his parts were good. The girl's cop father was pretty good, and the crane operators who lined up the cranes for spider-man at the end. (I like to see this working together for a good cause).
But the whole spider-man part was just bad.
