| 07.03.13 | Netflix | I didn't care for this very much. It's weird because when I went through my comic phase I was a huge fan of Spider-Man, but none of the movies are that great. I liked Spider-Man 2 when it was in theaters but don't think it's aged well at all and the other 4 have been not that good in my opinion. This one falls into the same trap as the first Raimi one in that it spends too long telling the ubiquitous origin story to where the film-specific plot is really minimal. Rhys Ifans in this movie has like the exact same part as Willen Dafoe in the first one or Alfred Molina in the second except they're different villains. I mean I get that it's a reboot but I don't understand why it has to be EXACTLY the same. Even the CG shots of Spidey zipping through Manhattan are exactly the same. The body posturing is a little more exaggerated and closer to the comic which was nice but still they're the same shots. I don't really get it. Like Molly said it's like seeing a new production of the same play or something. I was bored. |
