I thought he seemed kinda stoned throughout, at least when he was as peter parker, and I liked it. I didn't like the lack of "With great power must also come great responsibility", but yeah, It was pretty good.Shirokurou said:Actually, it wasn't that bad.
I enjoyed it.
What bugged me was that Peter Parker is now a smooth-talking hipster, but otherwise it was good.
No Avengers or Watchmen, but 7/10 kinda good.
No, what's truly pathetic (and utterly HILARIOUS) is people throwing a tantrum at Bob because of his opinion. The comments section is amusing as hell with how juvenile and insecure people are acting.BlacklightVirus said:I not sure what's more pathetic. Bob's fanboy rage or his attempt to be even more like Yahtzee by speaking at his speed.
Seems to me, Bob had plenty of objective criticisms here, beyond just fanboy rage. Most of the comments he made at the beginning were about the narrative being contrived and the characters being uninteresting. Basically that the movie just isn't doing anything interesting with the franchise. Now, I haven't seen it, so I don't know if what Bob has to say actually bears out, but it sounds like the movie is just going to be bland and forgettable for most. If you happen to be a big fan of Spider Man, then you'll probably hate it as much as Bob did. Or, you know, if you can see the machinations of the studio system working behind the scenes, motivated only to crank out a product and not really by the desire to create something genuinely interesting or special (which Bob, of all people, can), you certainly won't have any reason to give this movie the benefit of the doubt.Timnoldzim said:Oh, wow, somebody call the wahmbulance, guys, Bob's angry!
I mean, if you don't like a movie then you don't like a movie, but I don't think that's really his feelings on this. He seems to be mostly upset about the circumstances behind the film's creation (which really doesn't mean jack shit, no matter what he says) and it's deviations from the source material (JJJ isn't in it? Ohhhh, nooooo, movie ruined!), rather than the film itself. And he's had it in for this thing since the beginning; he's always wanted it to bomb because how dare they fire Sam Raimi!
I have never heard Bob be this legitimately angry before, and considering how he's previously talked about gender, racial, and sexual politics, that REALLY makes me sad. I know he's "proud to be a geek" and all that, but it's just a movie, and one that he's clearly more angry about being different than he is about being bad.
Bob, please leave Fanboy Mode and try and enter your Legitimate Film Critic Mode.
Wait what? Any remaining urge to see this movie is gone.DRTJR said:...How do you make a Spider man movie with out J. Jonah Jameson?

Its a pretty good game, it can get a bit frustrating at a few points but I'd say a solid B to B+ game IMHORanorak said:I keep hearing that, but never actually played the game.Diegolomac said:It's like X-Men Origins Wolverine all over again.Ranorak said:This is bizzaro world.
No, I don't mean that the release of a rushed, cheap spider-man licence renewal movies would be a miss, I mean, the video game is actually pretty fun.
We have a movie that has a ...not-terrible video game, but this time the movie sucks.
You recommend it?
Indeed, Bob can be a biased fanboy at times, this is one of those times.Sis said:Whenever someone asks me why I think your opinion should be taken with a grain of salt half the time, I'll point em to this video. You've been against this movie since before anything got announced besides that it's going to happen. And it shows. Even if this movie was The Dark Knight levels of good, you'd probably still say it was bad.
i'm not going to argue about Gwen. anyone whose into Spider-Man will tell you that. and i couldn't care about whatever love interest they threw in the mix. what i'm saying is this particular origin just doesn't meld with what some fans would consider a spider-man movie. and i think theres some plot point that you just don't mess with. the "with great power..." point, for example.Jetsetneo said:Just to clarify, key points this movie has that the last 3 did wrong or missed:
-Uncle Ben never explicitly states the "Great power..." line, ever. Hardly a rewrite. Yeah they switched up the key zeitgiest more or less, but if it were a scene for scene copy with different actors I'd be a lot more upset that I paid money for what I already have in my DVD collection.
-Gwen Stacy from the start. MJ comes wayyyy later.
-That Gwen thing? Is going to matter a lot more in AS-M 2, if the ending of this one didn't hammer that home.
-Web shooters/ showcasing Peter's intellect. The other movies did this, but really only in spider-man 2, and peter always used it in reaction, not pro action (building his web shooters)
Frankly after the shark jumping that was Spider-man 3 I much rather have had this.
