We got to the theater about 15 minutes before the movie started, and just like I had predicted the movie theater was practically barren. We entered our theater, and it was just us! In 1o minutes we would have our own theater to watch this movie, or so we thought. What I didn't consider when I devised this plan is that there are a group of people that live in America, but they don't really celebrate our independence. A family of this specific minority group entered the theater, and my dream had then been crushed. There were 3 children in this specific family. It was at this time that I began to fear for the worst. My second thought was trying to figure out why a group of people who's kids could only speak english would spend money to see something they couldn't understand. I thought that was a valid thought. But, their kids must have been quite persistent about it.
The movie then began, and lucky these children were well behaved, so I didn't have to kill them. It wouldn't have been a racist thing had I killed them. It would have been a "I am sick of people ruining movies because of their obnoxious children" thing. Seriously, there is a time for kids to see movies. That time is in the afternoon. If you are taking your child to a night time movie, bring a roll of duct tape and some Ritalin. If you don't have those things on your person at the entrance of the movie theater, and you have kids, you shouldn't be let in. Yes, this is my opinion, but it just so happens that a lot of people agree with this opinion. It is your fault you had children. Now you have to suffer the consequences of your actions. These consequences include not going to movies and wishing you were dead.
Ok, so the movie. Hopefully you are still with me, because this is the important part, and also my opinion. I loved the movie. I am usually really hard on movies, but I really don't have anything bad to say about it. I was thoroughly entertained the whole time, and unlike the other spiderman movies. This movie was more consistent with the comics and cartoons.
A lot of people are wondering why they made this new Spiderman movie. Well, it is because the other ones were pretty cheesy. Let's be honest, they were. The other big reason is that they weren't consistent with the original spiderman. In the cartoons and comics spiderman had cartridges, not web that magically shot out of his wrist. His abilities were spidey sense, super strength, and his ability to scale walls. Also, Mary Jane was not his first love interest. It was Gwen Stacey.
One of the main reasons that I really enjoyed this movie was the character development. They spent just under an hour introducing Peter Parker, and the rest of the characters. It gave the background of his parents, and why he ended up living with his uncle Ben and aunt May. And you really just got to know Peter Parker. You find out that he is into photography, and that he is very smart. They set up the story really well in that aspect.
I really enjoyed the more adult feel of the movie. Although it is a fictitious movie, the characters are very real. It gives real depth to the movie, and really grabs you from the beginning. I felt that it wasn't a perfect representation of high school, but in some aspects it was better than most. There were a few things that I could really relate to there. The villain was also well done. I felt that there was a good reason for him becoming a villain, and that it worked very well with the story.
Also, let's be real here. The biggest issue to address in a movie is the female lead. "Is she hot?" Well the only way that you can do better than Emma Stone is by getting Emma Watson, and I don't know that the character of Gwen Stacey is one that I could see Emma Watson doing. So for hot and capable female lead this movie gets a 10/10 hands down.
Overall this movie exceeded my expectations. I was very pleased with it, and I personally feel that everyone needs to see it. Had the avengers not come out, this movie would be the best film of the summer thus far in my opinion. So yeah. Go watch it. If you are disappointed then you don't deserve the right to see movies, and I will publicly mock you. Seriously it's a great movie. In fact, I want to see it again. That is how much I enjoyed this movie. Oh, I forgot to mention. The 3D was great. So if you have the money to spend I definitely suggest the 3D version. Definitely worth the money. Are you still reading this? Go get a ticket already. What have you got to lose? 10 bucks? 20 bucks? 1000 bucks? It doesn't matter, because you can't put a price tag...I lost my train of thought, but you get what I am saying.
Peace Out!
