I don't like any movies that entertain people? how about these:

Sleepy Hollow
Fight Club
Fargo
Pulp Fiction
Edward Scissorhands
Batman one and two
Saving Pvt. Ryan
American Beauty

Yeah your right, none of those are entertaining. Spider man is not half the movie those are.

they're okay but most of those are popular because people seem to think they should be.

like american beauty, loved it but now i dont watch it at all. saving private ryan is just crap, batman two is embarrassing, fargo was boring because it was the same old crap over again, edward sccissorhands? why, because its burton again?

meh.

You make me laugh. You think those are liked because people think they are supposed to like them, but Spiderman is not? Half the reason someone would even go see Spiderman is because they think they should. You think Saving Pvt. Ryan is crap but Spiderman (which you have not even sen yet) is great? You need your head examined. With a statement like that, its not even worth my time debating this with you anymore, cause it shows you just are just totally blinded by the fact its a Spiderman movie. Just because its based on a popular comic or character does not mean its a great movie. Thats what thinking you should like a film is. All those other movies were original. Spiderman better than Saving Pvt. Ryan..your funny. Also Batman two was awesome. Instead of doing what Sam Rami did and following the dumb comic exactly, Burton brought new cool stuff to it. Walken was great as mayor shrek, and devito played a great penguin. It was whimsical and cool. And instead of copying a story that was already succsessful on its own exactly, and relying on that to make money, he instead chose to create something new, and depict it as it had not been done before. Yeah Sam Rami is great...at being a copy machine. There is a saying, Hollywood has one type writer and a thousand copy machines.

Following the comic almost exactly is what gives Spider-Man its unique style. But at some points in the movie, it doesn't really work. I wouldn't say the movie sucks, i say it has its weak points.

oh god listen to you.

so saving private ryan isnt 'acclaimed' simply because

a. its another fucking war film
b. its 'realistic' and 'horrifying' ooh shit!
c. tom hanks, matt damon, steven spielberg

no, it stinks. remember when everyone loved titanic? exactly.

if anyones biased here its you. tim burton = god. sam raimi = evil bastage. nyillustrator = all knowing film guy.

is that right? good.
