  • This film is deeply problematic

    This isn't the first Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland. So to portray Peter Parker is a bumbling idiot, who is not only gullible and naive, but also exuding poor judgements in character and hand-to-hand combat, is really surprising. I have always held that Toby McGuire Peter Parker as the standard, especially the second Spider-Man movie director by Sam Raime. Peter Parker has his down moments but he was always competent, skilled in combat and extremely intuitive. Tom Holland's Spider-Man is not only deeply flawed and not someone I would root for. The guy is girl crazy and has his priorities completely screwed. No wonder he was swindled by more than a few characters. Really very out of character for Peter Parker. His spider senses (or Peter Tinkle) somehow disappeared until he willed it back later in the movies. You cannot switch the Spider senses on and off like that. It makes no sense.

    There is also another problem area for me: The CGI. OMG, the special effects not only look fake but so rudimentary. You can see the Elementals are fake. I have seen better rendered elements CGI on screen. This is not it.

    And there are so many irritating and nonsensical characters in this version, especially Peter Parker's fat friend, Ned Leeds. That is not a good friend. The comedic timing of Batalon (who plays Leeds), is problematic. Very awkward and force. I really would not suggest watching this terrible movie in the cinema. Stream it when it's available. There's time since Phase 4 won't be out anytime soon.

  • Those who should be cut stayed while those who shine were cut.

    A marginally boring piece that has so many unlikeable characters that there is no one to root for. There were a few saving performances, especially those from Kate Hudson and Nicole Kidman. But Marion Cotillard was a complete bore. She literally put me to sleep. Argggg. No wonder the protagonist, Guido Contini, played by Daniel Day-Lewis, was so inclined to cheat on his wife, played by Cotillard. The woman has absolutely no sparkle, no shine, no zest. It's often been said that it takes two to clap and in this case, the failure of the marriage between Guido and Luisa was the fault of both. I completely disagree with a reviewer who said that Nicole Kidman was unbelievable as a screen goddess. In fact, I felt her performance was genuine and absolutely breathtaking. And the fact that her role was so small yet so memorable, is testament to her star quality. I would only suggest watching this movie on rental so you can watch certain scenes repeatedly. I thoroughly enjoyed Kate Hudson's "Cinema Italiano" performance. What energy. What glamour! Truly a scene stealer. Wished both Kate and Nicole appeared longer. The reason why this film flopped was because of Daniel Day-Lewis and the boring Marion Cotillard. And Penelope Cruz was just as sorry as her role called out to be. I was so relieved that the film ended the way it did.
