Is it so wrong that I would actually pay a rather large sum of money to see that?AnubisAuman said:

I actually thought of this also. Never thought it'd happen in this day and age though.
I still want the original cast recording. Well...I want to hear it, I probably won't want to buy it. But then again...
Actually I thought the biggest flaw of the Transformers movies was that for films that were supposed to be about explosions and big CGI, they didn't even get the explosions or the big CGI right, and hired a director with a track record of not knowing how to do either. I certainly wasn't expecting depth, a challenging story, intelligence, etc but Transformers failed to meet even my incredibly low expectations of being nothing more than a B-grade action film that was cool to look at.Legion said:
The key word there is "for" . Unless something is made solely for a select panel of people to judge (ex: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences), then it is not made for critics alone. Critics are employed based on people's need to hear something from somebody they deem an authority on the matter. In fact, I would argue that most things are not made for critics, but critics thrive off of the continual existence of their subject matter. In the case of Spiderman, their panning it does more harm than good, considering what it took to make the show run in the first place.Fronzel said:
wait, $65 million on something that only new yorkers and those who live near new york will see? what? most movies that open WORLDWIDE cost about that much. i dont think the spider-man MOVIE cost that much.
hold on, going to wikipedia.
ok, $140 million. roughly double the cost with roughly 1,000 times the audience. what is this? i dont get it.

I got a ticket to it from the Escapist for Christmas, WHOOO!
It sounds like its going to turn into a big mess, which is sad but sinking tons of cash into something doesn't necessarily make it good.

From what I've heard there's some fantastic stuff) (like the fights above the audience on wires, but they ruin it by adding non canon stuff that's lame (a Spider-queen being the origin of his powers) and ridiculous stuff trying to be "meta" (like a bunch of comic nerds that criticise the play as it goes on). Also the songs are pointless, they don't advance the plot which a good song should.
I think any comic could be turned into a fantastic play or musical, but it has to be treated seriously. I'd watch a Batman or Hellblazer musical.

It's impossible for me to agree with you without having seen the show. It's also impossible for you to know if you're right without having seen the show. Sure, I wouldn't pay $200 for it, but then I wouldn't pay $200 for any theatrical entertainment of any kind.matthew_lane said:
