The critics who have been panning this are wrong. The movie is actually quite good, with an intelligent if somewhat dark and moody story line and some really terrific special effects. I'm not sure I would have picked this out of a dozen adventure movies as the most expensive ever filmed, reportedly over $250 million $, but the movie has already more than recovered its total cost I hear, with over 300 million in receipts foreign and domestic already.I suppose their are people who will be critical of big-budget movies of any stripe, from Lord of the Rings, to the Harry Potter series to the King Kong remake. But for anyone who loves this type of cinema, this one is a must see. I think it's the best of the Spiderman trio despite what some critics are saying.
Bottom line: I enjoyed mtself a lot and those of you who wouldn't enjoy this movie know who you are, and you can stay home and miss all the fun. Will I add this to my DVD collection when it comes out on DVD? Probably!
So There!
