And Spiderman was......

....a little better than your average dumb, summer movie. It make me wonder though.

Like most movies know, all the special effects are all done on computers now. Most of the action in this movie is all CGI stuff. Unlike a lot of these big movies, the effects sometimes weren't that good. In a bunch of scenes, Spiderman looked like a clumsily moving cartoon character.

What I wonder is if all this computer stuff is making film people lazy. Like years ago, they'd have to be really creative to show Spidey swinging around New York, now they just hire a couple hundred computer geeks, give them a bunch of Red Bull and some techno, and let them go at it. But remember Superman? That was all pre-computer stuff and some of the effects were kind of cheesy, but at least he looked real. In fact, in some ways, the effects in that movie were better than in Spiderman.

The biggest example was a fight scene in the movie. Yeah, Spidey did a couple of cool, killer Spider moves, but it looked kind of cheesy when he did it. There was nothing he didn't do, however, that I haven't seen in almost every Jackie Chan movie I've seen. And there's no effects when Jackie does it, it's just him, the stunt guys, and the director. And almost every Jackie Chan fight was way better than the fight in this movie.
