Critics
love it. Viewers love it
I don’t
love it. I don’t even like it. I actively dislike it.
Tobey
Maguire is so wrong for this role (I know, I know, nobody agrees with me.) He’s
lifeless, the unsexiest actor in Hollywood. Kirstin Dunst is pathetic. No
wonder there’s absolutely no chemistry between them. Their love story is the
most unconvincing of all superhero films. The sob story gets no tears from me.
The other characters as well as the story itself are ho-hum.
We desperately
need Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifhan.
But this one gets more than 0* because Alfred Molina makes a fine villain and the runaway train was cool.
2* of 5
