I'm not sure how popular MovieBob is (a movie critic on The Escapist) but he gave the movie a horrible review. Metacritic has it at 66% right now. I don't think it was that bad. I mean it wasn't that great either but i wouldn't flame it. I don't know if it was people's expectations or simply the fact that this movie may have been stuck in the shadows of the previous Spider-man movies. oh well.
Craptastic RPG update:added the hud. plain as hell but whateva.
Wow.
I like movieBob, but that sounds like a disappointing review on his part.Yeah me to. usually i agree with him. this is the one time i didn't. i think one of the commenters presented a good guess as to why though. I'm thinking he just didn't want to like it, simply watched the movie too look for things to insult. if you walk into a theater expecting to hate a movie, you're probably going to.
Is it worth going to the theater and seeing, or should I just wait for it to come out on dvd or rent it?
hard to say. how much do you like Spiderman or superhero movies? no telling how much your going to like it. just keep an open mind. it's an entertaining movie but it is no The Avengers.
Man, I was really looking forward to that. If it actually sucks, I'm probably going to end up throwing someone at the screen.
I want to see it, but I have more fun watching a film alone than in a theater.
I don't think it will be that bad, after all the previews are pleasing.The last movie I saw in Theatres was Ted, which I personally found to be simply amazing! But I will say that Amazing Spiderman looks okay. I personally thought that the old Toby Macquire Spiderman movies were somewhere between mediocre and terrible, so for me the bar is really low. I'll prolly wait 'till its on DVD, but I will definitely think its a little soon. I heard they're already planning a Batman reboot too…
i saw Ted too. i thought it was OK. i had a few laughs but ultimately, it turned into a drama about half way through and i got tired.
The original three Spidermans range from bleh to meh
Ted had some funny jokes/dialogue but other than that it was kind of blandThe Avengers is a mess with some of the problems inherent in anything Joss Whedon is attached to but in the end (and beginning and middle) the better Whedonisms come together and make it something of a masterpieceI haven't seen The Amazing Spiderman; it looks like it's trying to do a few cool things but I'm not sure how well they'll pan outI should do a whole blog of these movie reviews.
