Sorry, this movie sucks

As Good As It Gets

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Great way to start off a new spider man franchise. Andrew and Emma are fantastic actors and shocked me with this movie. The writers are very creative and I have to say I loved the way they tried to make a different story with this series.

I'm not a Sam Raimi fanboy or elitist. I liked Raimi's original trilogy but it's not perfect. And Spider-Man 3 was OK. But I really wanted to like this movie, but I didn't. I have my limits when it comes to dark versions of classic characters and this movie just passes through them. For Spider-Man, this is way too dark. There is some light-hearted stuff here, but I just can't enjoy this movie with how dark it gets. If it was like Spider-Man 2 then maybe I could enjoy it a lot more because Spider-Man 2 along with Avengers: Infinity War manage to put Spider-Man in a dark setting whilst still making it enjoyable and fun to watch with some great drama. This movie just tries too hard with blood, a grim and dark setting, hell, the POSTER for this movie pretty much summarises why I dislike it so much. Other than the unneeded edgyness, the soundtrack was fine, the cast is OK (but Andrew Garfield does not fit Peter Parker at all), and the action is decent enough. But this movie just gives off such a weird and depressing vibe when it's a movie about one of the most light-hearted, fun and cheesy comic book characters of all time. It may be a technically fine movie, but I just can't enjoy it with how much they try and make Spider-Man edgy and dark.

Much is expected of spider man as to the former image as a comic character and the brilliant work by Toby Maguire in the former series. The movie does well on the effects and technology but does not go well in adding to the depth. Spider-man seems to demolish its earlier image and convert into a wit making lad. Not on expected lines.

There are so many issues with this move, It felt like a low budget B movie and not a very good one. The biggest is no character development. The actor playing Peter Parker was weak and fidgety I just did not care for his performance , there is no best friend Harry and that whole dynamic. This movie is way too long (136 min) it felt so dragged out, spiderman takes his mask off too much in view of the public. I just remember all the great action scenes of the Sam Raimi Spiderman with green goblin flying on his glider and thowing bombs and while watching this one i felt bored wanting more. Sally field does not work as aunt May nor did Martin Sheen as uncle Ben The only reason I gave this movie a 2 was Dennis Leary did a good job portraying his character. If you want a good spidey movie watch the 3 Tobey Spiderman movies they blow this piece of trash away
