Have any FReepers seen it yet? I may catch a matinee tomorrow morning.
I will refrain from detailed comments to prevent spoilers, but the first 45 minutes was painfully slow, the last 15 was painfully slow and dumb, and the action in between was all pretty pointless and predictable.
IMHO, it is obvious Hollywood's expectations of what an audience will demand continues to drop. They may even be right.
Happy Birthday America. Good movie is out. That puts stop sign to other disrespectful movie made not long ago about tragic attack in New York.
For my money, the best Spiderman film clip ever is the trailer that shows the helicopter caught in the big web between the Two Towers. Unfortunately this was pulled right after 9-11.
My son liked the sequal, I haven't gotten to see it yet.
BTW, the previews before the movie showed a mini-series about terror in America called The Grid. I think it's a USA or TNT production. It had real Americans battling arab-looking terrorists. Did anyone else see this ad? It gave me hope that some in Hollywood might be ready to call a spade, a spade.
A poor kid works hard and studies hard to get ahead in life. He doesn't take the easy way out of turning to a life of crime or government dependency.
He refuses to join the Gremlin and Doc Oc in their criminal enterprises, not even to save his last remaining blood relative that he loves and cherishes, the girl he loves, his own life, or any number of innocent victims used as hostages.
Spidey makes the tough choices. He preserves his honor, integrity, honesty and wins the day with courage, bravery, hard work, determination, love and faith in himself and his fellow man.
No wonder the Liberals hate this movie!
What kind of role model is Spidey for the kids they want to make dependent on government largesse?
One film like Spiderman could undo decades of Liberal attempts to brain-wash our children and now there are two such films! Drat!
Why Spidey makes the kids that use poverty as an excuse to turn to drug dealing, thievery and other criminal activity or Welfare and Food Stamps look like lazy, unprincipled, immoral products of a failed Liberal social experiment.
Is this the kind of message that the Liberals want Hollywood putting out? ;^)

Spiderman was always the best-drawn sequential art popular strip! Every panel a work of art! Astounding! Dynamic!
Saw it yesterday, loved it! Dock Ock says eight thumbs up!
I saw it last night.
I enjoyed it. I was genuinely interested in the characters and the story had enough twists and turns to keep me watching.
Now, I don't really think anyone gives a crap about MY opinion of some movie.
But I wouldn't spend $8.50 to see it again.
Saw it yesterday. It was excellent, and I plan to see it again. I don't normally like seeing movies twice, and I don't normally love comic book inspired movies. But Sam Ramie topped himself with this one. Well told story. Has a lot of feeling... right blend of action, humor, drama, and romance.
