Monkey-Plex Review: FILM: Spider-Man

FILM: Spider-Man 3.5 monkeys

I liked this movie a lot, although I’m not sure it will stand up to repeated viewings. There’s still something just a little too “CGI” about Spider-Man himself, flipping all over New York City. I never got the feeling that the CGI Spider-Man had any real weight to it. I mean, after flipping himself, what, a half-mile through the air, he sticks the perfect landing on the bridge? Without a slight stumble or weight shift? It’s “too perfect,” a common fault of CGI, and doesn’t help to sell the illusion that no, this really is a guy in a suit. I have no problems with the cast, although I thought I detected at least one-too-many “Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars Episode I”-style “Yipee”s from Peter Parker. With great power, and a great opening weekend, comes the great responsibility to make a sequel that BUILDS on this strong start. We’ll see what happens … but as I said, it’s a strong start for this franchise. I’m looking forward to more.
