    I have no interest in seeing it at all >

    Often times I wonder why
    There's love and hate, theres live or die.
    When sickness comes I must decide:
    When feelings go, theres suicide.

            Well the TV says it's great, so people go see it. Don't blame Americans, they can't argue with the TV.

              He'd still sound like an idiot since he'd be saying the opposite from the rest of the critics.

                The movie will probably be a hit all over the world, not just in the U.S.

                        am i the only one who thought the first and the second are exactly the same, except different villain

                        *spoilers*

                        if ate the end of the first, pete parker and maryjane (love that name ) hooker up like they do in the second... we wouldn't even need to watch it

                        its all the same shiet, he's not sure he wants to bone her, she gets kidnapped, he wants to bone her, he saves her bla bla

                                      What's even more amusing is that people all over the world will go to the theaters to watch it with overdubs and subtitles.

                                        Passed on the movie tonight, just doesn't seem entertaining. They ended up coming back saying it was a waste of time romantic flick.

                                                    The fact that a lot of Americans went to see a summer-fun movie based on a long-time favorite comic strip says precisely what, exactly?

                                                    No, really, I'm curious. If it says a lot, you should be able to produce a fairly long, interesting post.

                                                      the first movie was crap, so I guess this one should be better. I'll watch it only if there are no other movies on my computer at that time. I wouldn't go to the movies to see it..

                                                        In the first movie, the mask of his enemy, is SO PLASTIC.

                                                        Toys'R'us has better ones.

                                                          Certainly doesn't have the worldwide pulling power of Lord Of The Rings.

                                                                True but you can say that about any series. Only Harry Potter even comes close to the world box office of LOTR. So I think its a bit unfair to compare Spider-Man series ( & the Star Wars series for that matter) to LOTR, as Spidey and Star Wars are mostly American phenomenons.

                                                                Some movies are just tailored more for North America, like "The Passion of the Christ." For instance it made nothing in Japan. They don't care:

                                                                Domestic: $370,167,453 60.8%
                                                                + Overseas: $238,443,439 39.2%

                                                                --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                = Worldwide: $608,610,892


                                                                So just take Spidey for what it is............its a comic that most of us grew up with and Sam Raimi has done it proud.

                                                                          Give me a goofy love story anytime over yet another special effects movie with non-stop killing and a plot designed for 9 year olds....

For me though, even though I *LOVE* the MCU, Spiderman doesn't hold that much interest. I watched the last one, Spiderman: Homecoming, more to make sure I stayed up to date with the overall story arc of the MC Universe more than anything else.

                                                                                  It was OK, but I could have waited for it to come to Netflix or on-demand.
