• Spiderman: No Great Movie

    So the latest Spiderman....

    Are there no script editors left in Hollyweird? The latest Bond film suffered from being at least thirty minutes to long and here's another big budget movie suffering the same syndrome. Not that it's all bad, far from it. Loved bringing so many past
    badies back. And the fx for the fights wasw way over the top just the way a superchump movie should be.

    1. It's not "Spider-man". It's "Spider-boy". Until the character grows
    up. If he ever does.

    2. Sounds like a typical Marvel Avengers film to me. I will see and
    might even enjoy it. Or not; they vary in that respect.

    3. The latest Bond film was the inevitable result of first removing
    all entertainment value from the reboot films and then trying to add
    Romance to the mix. What they got wasn't Romance, it was Schmalz.

    4. /Skyfall/ was a half-hour too long. It could have ended in the
    committee meeting: bad guy kills M, Bond kills bad guy, end-of-film,
    no trip to Scotland required.

    There seems to be a belief growing that what the public wants is
    Really Long Movies. RLMs, I should add, /without/ intermissions.
