I am definitely not a fan of the last couple of Spider-Man movies. Maybe that's because the older I get, the more childish high-schoolers appear...and I know that's all a huge part of the whole Spider-Man/Peter Parker storyline. But I can't get into the teen drama stuff; having two daughters of my own, I had to deal with all that idiotic "My life is such a living hell" drama so this puke is really off-putting to me. Not sure how they roped Samuel Jackson and Jake G. (I can't spell his last name so I'm not even going to try) into being a part of this one; both seemed completed disinterested and only there for the paycheck. The fight sequences - while providing plenty of action - were difficult to follow because they were so busy, and I still don't understand who Mysterio is or where he fit into the whole MCU. Overall, this movie was just difficult for me to feel anything for ANY of the characters...and come on, seriously, who came up with the idea of making MJ a scrawny little dark-haired geek freak? And the whole "hot" Aunt May banging Happy....this Spider-Man line is so far removed from the original that I don't know if I'll follow any more of them, assuming (and it's a safe assumption) they'll continue trying to milk this cow. If I had known...if only I had known...but I'll never get those two hours back.
