joelally's rating
There is really nothing to this movie. Its popularity and rating are based on previous material. If this were to be the first appearance of Spider Man this movie would not be getting half of the attention. This movie was boring mindless and big waste of time.
Acting: a huge step down for all those involved (most obviously Dafoe and Maguire)
Directing: I've never like Sam Raimi, but there was some good stuff here though the only real memorable part would be Spider-Man swinging from building to building, other than that pretty straight forward.
Script: a whole lot of nothing. The love triangle was ridiculous and all of your corny conventional stuff is there.
Music: Danny Elfman...by far the best part of the movie.
The Ending: couldn't tell you, I fell asleep
Rating: 4 of 10 (for moments of interesting directing and Elfman's music)
The way I see it (and I am by no means a fan of the action/superhero genre) there hasn't been a worthwhile superhero movie since Burton's Batman movies. Those had style and darkness, Raimi's movie is like watching a commercial.

Why God, Why?...Am I in Hell?...Is this some kind of punishment?...Is Jerry Bruckheimer actually the Devil?...Michael Bay his underlord?
When I first saw the trailer for Pearl Harbor I was actually looking forward to seeing this movie, but then those hellish words were shown...produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, but wait it gets worse, there were more bad words...directed by Michael Bay...it's true! You can't make this stuff up, it's too evil.
Walking out of the theater having actually payed U.S. currency to see Pearl Harbor I had the feeling that somebody had just hit me over the head repeatedly with a bat for three hours and two minutes.
There is not one redeeming quality to this movie...well yea there are some good special effects, but by then you've already tried to kill yourself in ways no human has ever thought of, so you don't really care about special effects.
OH YEA and there was that one surprise...you know the one I'm talking about...the tenth time the music changed and Ben Affleck leaned in for a kiss, I mean the first nine times I saw it coming, but the tenth time! WOW!!!!!! amazing cinematic genius.
I've thought it many times before, but now am sure of it: Jerry Bruckheimer was put on this earth to destroy movie making forever. He will not stop untill the art of film is thought of in the same light as dog feces, but hey i can't be that cruel, comparing a Jerry Bruckheimer film to feces would be an insult to feces everywhere.

This movie is not good. Yes it has a great plane crash, but after the great suspense, Tom Hanks lives...damn. Wow... "I can't believe Tom Hanks was on the screen by himself for soooo long"...well I can't believe so many people watched this garbage for soooo long and actually enjoyed it.
From what I understand Hanks has wanted to do this movie for a while. If it meant that much to him he really should have waited untill something better came along from the Hollywood script dept. Yes he performed a great physical transformation for this movie, but others have done just as well and for much better movies (DeNiro, Raging Bull).
Tom Hanks has done a great job in some great movies...he now has to try to keep himself known as a great actor...he now has the power to wait untill the next 'gump' or 'private ryan' comes along. But Hanks answered our question when we asked "what do you do after playing a role that great in saving private ryan?" You sign yourself up for "You've Got Mail" that's what you do.
They should have stopped after Gump...if ever again I hear the names Zemeckis and Hanks in a trailer I'll run like hell.
If you're interested in seeing some of 2000's best stay away from this highly overrated film.
"I Have Made FIRE..." and now I will toss a copy of Cast Away into it...
