Just a note: If you saw Sam Rami’s Spiderman<\/em>, you’ve already seen this movie.\u00a0 But not as stylishly done.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing really new in this new offering.\u00a0 Sony is just hemorrhaging money and the only part of the conglomerate actually cash flowing is the Spiderman franchise.\u00a0 So they’ll keep making these until Samsung prepares their finishing move.<\/p>\n

But, if you’re a fan of the 1st Spiderman movie; you’ll still love this one.\u00a0 It’s like the 1st trilogy was a set of very expensive focus groups to refine what works on screen and what doesn’t concerning the web-crawler.\u00a0 And some lessons have been learned.\u00a0 Such as: Venom will never be a big screen bad guy.\u00a0 The living costume just isn’t that visually impressive.\u00a0 Classic villains are the way to go.<\/p>\n

And Wardo from the social network and Emily Stone are more charismatic than old Toby and whatsherface.\u00a0 Stone is particularly charming.\u00a0 And Wardo is just funnier than Toby. So this Spiderman is funnier.\u00a0 And Dennis Leary is Stones dad.\u00a0 Which is always cool.<\/p>\n

And there’s little moments of unexpected heart in the film.<\/p>\n

So really, yes its a retread, yes there’s nothing original.\u00a0 But it’s all done with flair.\u00a0 It’s worth watching.\u00a0 Probably a better overall movie than Avengers.\u00a0 Not that it’s quite as fun as Hulk Smash; but well worth seeing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
