The not so amazing spider man!!

First things first: I saw the movie dubbed in hindi.Yes, I did. That was the only show available. Adding to the dismay, Irrfan Khan didn't dub for himself in Hindi. It was like you are watching Irrfan Khan who is not Irrfan Khan. His USP indeed is his nonchalant voice. A baritone which indeed brings in laughter just the way he talks. Plus, he was more like a cameo than the villain. After he is saved from being killed, he vanishes. What do we reckon? He was too busy for shooting further?

There was no Mary Jane. The fact that you change the name of the lead of an eternal super hero romance, which somehow has imbibed into us, is bad. This Gwen name didn't quite sink in.

I think it would only be the Incredible Hulk who could end up wearing 3D  glasses with ease. Mine slipped every now and then. Whom are they designed for? Nobody's that vast. And it was more like watching spider man swishing his web on you. He swung from one building to another. Just like some big outdoor circus.

There was no secrecy about spider man. Even Mary Jane...arrrggghhh Gwen was told he was the large scale spidey. He didn't mind taking the mask off. Being to public about your super powers to attract a beautiful blonde girl from your class is not what super heroes do. They wait till she finds out by herself. It also leads to a three way romance. Peter liking the gal, girl liking spider man, spiderman can't tell the girl. Half of the prior spider man movies were just about the chase for romance. This spider man was way too cool to be showing off.

The leads were better looking indeed. But too much too and fro like a pendulum around buildings made me feel dizzy. In all, a good time pass with family. (Mom can't stop talking about how much she liked the movie. P.S. she has not seen the previous spider man movies.)

Maybe we should't compare this much. The 3D has such an impact on me that I feel like a web would spring out of the screen. I gotto recuperate. I ain't against it. Go watch the movie. But in english.
