I finally understand why I could never find a single person who thought this movie non-horrible, not in real life, not online, or even a critic. All I had to go on before was this.

If someone told you there was a scene of J.J.J's secretary installing a buzzer into his desk so that it would shake and jump a foot into the air every time he picked the wrong prescription bottle, and they proceeded to do this a dozen times in 30 seconds, you'd call bullshit. Imagine how many people failed to call "bullshit" for this to make it.

Just one disjointed "Are you fucking serious?" level of awfulness scene after another. It's like they handed it over to Hideo Kojima, which makes sense considering it's a franchise the director hates and wants put down.


Yeah, I couldn't believe what I was watching.

You know what, it is difficult to explain where a symbiote comes from in a movie, especially since it made sense in the comics (a single alien on an alien, patched-together world) but they have to do a little better than having random shit fall out of the sky and just happen to meet up with Spider-Man. They had a character going into space from the last movie, so it would not have been particularly difficult to get some narrative sense there, if anyone gave a shit, which they didn't.

The Sin-Eater arc, and the gal cop getting killed, and Eddie Brock being exposed as having found the wrong guy would have made an excellent movie, but we don't live in a world where that is possible with Spider-Man. At the end of the day, the film version of Spider-Man needs to fit nicely on a Burger King glass and any of the really good stories told with the character (Kraven comes to mind) is never, ever going to make it into a movie.


the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!
