What is it with those high-profile movies ? You know it’s probably not worth it, you have read bad reviews, and still you can’t help giving in.
I made the mistake to go and see Spiderman 3.
Comics usually rub me slightly wrong, because the female role model is to hang from high metal structures, scream, look cute, and wait for the local superhero to save you (Cat Woman being a possible exception, but Cat Woman was also stark raving mad).
Fortunately i’m able to switch off my inner feminist and enjoy a superhero yarn, especially when there’s some breathtaking action and really evil master plans.
I can tell you right now, and maybe save you the price of a cinema ticket: Spiderman III has none of those.
Jumbled storyline, uninspired dialog, and truckloads of cheese. The 50 word vocabulary of previous Spidermans got reduced to half that. Even the evil characters were not even close to intriguing. As for the special effects: once again, all the CGI in the world couldn’t save a really, really bad script.
In fact, we left before the end, and that’s saying something, I’ve sat out some pretty bad movies. Well, you’ve been warned.
