supermike80 1,285 Posted December 26, 2018 Wife made me watch crazy rich asains. And when we were done I realized I dont understand people anymore. The movie sucked. Sure it's a chick flick and I'm ok with that, she will watch movies for me. But this was just bad. And it got great reviews and did good $$ and I wondered was it JUST cause it was Asian based? So now I see all these great reviews for spider man. And I wonder if that's just because it has a black spidey guy in it? Anyone seen this thing? Cant trust reviews anymore.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted December 26, 2018 I mean, it’s animated so you have to be interested in the prospect of enjoying an animated Spider-Man movie. But yea it was good. As a Spider-Man movie I liked Homecoming better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supermike80 1,285 Posted December 26, 2018 Taking my son to see it this week / weekend, will report back. I wouldnt be going if I didnt have a kid though. Because its an animated spider man movie.

I saw and liked Crazy Rich Asians with the wife on PPV after Id read the book. It wasnt the greatest thing Ive ever seen but it was entertaining enough for a chick flick. But, Ive always been intrigued by the upper class, high society folks. And Singapore looks like an interesting place to visit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,878 Posted December 28, 2018 It was really good for a kids movie. The animation was terrific and I liked the characters. There were some good jokes around the ridiculousness of some of the alternate universe Spider Men. It was too long and the ending was a bit of a mess but I say that about every movie. There were two Spider Women and the main character was Hispanic so I expect the usual bedwetters to biitch about Hollywoods SJW agenda etc. Three out of four stars.

peenie 1,690 Posted December 28, 2018 I was truly surprised....elated in fact, at how much I enjoyed the Spider-Man Homecoming movie. It is my favorite Spider-Man movie to date. ....but I am kind of sick and tired of all of these superhero films. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
