This is the first comic book movie in a long time that I felt was suffering from laziness. Movies start with the script and this one was lazy.<br />It just moved from one convenient plot point to the next. Electro is created, fights Spidey, is killed by Spidey in an overused, cliche way. Goblin is created, fights Spidey, is defeated by Spidey. The scenes with Peter and Gwen were just slow and unconvincing. They dragged the movie to a crawl. (Sally Fields, though, in her big scene was terrific.) <br />SPOILER HERE: The death of Gwen was meaningless. In the comic, Spiderman was given the choice of the schoolbus or his lady. He saved the kids, but at the cost of his love. Here it's just a simple murder he couldn't prevent. Such lazy writing.<br />I've never been so disappointed in a comic book movie in a long time.Dwaynenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819665860959438823.post-28800113904573671512014-05-09T01:10:59.980-04:002014-05-09T01:10:59.980-04:00Cap is definitely worth it.

If you like listening to podcasts, I co-host the Earth Station One podcast and we reviewed the movie on this week's episode.
