Yeah, yeah, yeeaahh!! Bash this movie all you want!! Bash it for its cheesey goodness and its popcorn movie fun, but this is a childhood favorite of mine. I have so many good memories with this film. This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Even though another comic book film called "X-Men" came out a couple years earlier, this is the film that TRUELY started the new wave of super hero films in the 21st century. After years and years out of the public eye, Evil Dead helmer Sam Raimi made a return to movies. He brought one of the greatest super heros to the silver screen. The film b… |

Peter finds great success in his superhero duties, but can’t seem catch a break (or even a snack), as he rides an emotional roller coaster while trying to balance his personal life, attend college, and make a living. Wait I don’t think Spider-Man has enough challenges…how about a nemesis to battle against? In this episode, Dr. Otto Octavius (a.k.a. Dr. Octopus), well played by Alfred Molina ("Maverick"), fits the bill. |

A tangled web of storylines, inexplicable contrivances and desultory performances mark Spider-Man 3 as the end of the line for the original Spider-Man team. Thus it's no surprise that the next Spidey movie will feature a new director and new actors. As for this installment, it's barely OK for time-passing family entertainment. |

Imagine Spider-Man as if Toby Maguire never wore the suit and James Franco were still a sensitive nobody. Seen thusly, The Amazing Spider-Man is a great movie, notwithstanding a treacly story that's often tinny. Did Columbia & Marvel need to reboot Spider-Man just a decade after "its first big screen incarnation":http://www.viewguide.com/movies/211532? No, but they've done a creditable job, in part by locating the story when Peter Parker was still a school kid. This makes it a nifty hig… |

Meh – This could have been much better. Unlike other critics, I don't fault the retread attempt, but the execution was pretty uninspiring. Spidey flys around and kicks-butt, and you get to learn more about his character – but the story was overly cheesy and the plot-line contrived. Enjoy the bad-guy bashing, but don't expect anything of the caliber of Dark Night Rises. |
