Former film student/Gaffer - all thoughts are my own opinions and observations. Saw this on release day with middling hopes and no expectations. The movie still managed too disappoint to the point where it almost seemed like satire. The actors seem to be doing their best to realistically act out a script that may have legitimately been improved had an AI written it. All of them seem capable, except for the main villain who comes off more as a creepy stalker/wannabe woman beater rather than an actual super villain, the rest were given a turd instead of an actual script. If you're going into the movie hoping for a 4some spider-team up, this is not that. While the girls in the suits are super cool, they also only appear for about 2ish minutes in one of the many poorly done dream sequences. I think it's a very progressive idea to hire AC's with parkinsons but maybe we could've given them writing jobs instead of letting them hold the camera? The fact that they continue to hire the same ppl who wrote the script for God's of Egypt, power rangers, the last witchhunter and Morbius makes it seem like Sony legitimately does not want to be a profitable corporation anymore. Otherwise you wouldn't give more money to a group of ppl who seem incapable to turn a profit. Also very weird to hinge the hopes of starting a franchise on a team of writers known for killing your own in house franchises. Not to mention having a writer who's only other writing credits r a small film and another who was a producer up until they got the gig? Elon musk buying Twitter level of buffoonery in my honest opinion. I hope Sony bounces back as a company but seeing how they struggle to turn a profit in pretty much everything ppl care about, I won't be surprised if by the end of the decade they end up like Compaq or Iomega. PS: I've read some of the reviews giving this movie 5 stars and find it very interesting that none of them seem to be able to actually tell you what happened in the movie. Lots of them like using long words strung together to make you think they're saying something of value but it all seems to boil down to "wow! Such good actor! Wow! The movie has a start middle and end!" or "something something woman good something something I don't usually like marvel movies but this one... Something something". If those r the kind of base level thinking you enjoy in your reviews, I'm not surprised you'd enjoy this movie. Seems more like Sony getting interns to write nice things about a movie they won't let em watch for free.
