   suffered from being at least thirty minutes to long and here's another big   
   budget movie suffering the same syndrome.  Not that it's all bad, far from   
   it.  Loved bringing so many    
   past badies back.  And the fx for the fights wasw way over the top just the   
   way a superchump movie should be.   
      
   1. It's not "Spider-man". It's "Spider-boy". Until the character grows   
   up. If he ever does.   
      
   2. Sounds like a typical Marvel Avengers film to me. I will see and   
   might even enjoy it. Or not; they vary in that respect.   
      
   3. The latest Bond film was the inevitable result of first removing   
   all entertainment value from the reboot films and then trying to add   
   Romance to the mix. What they got wasn't Romance, it was Schmalz.   
      
   4. /Skyfall/ was a half-hour too long. It could have ended in the   
   committee meeting: bad guy kills M, Bond kills bad guy, end-of-film,   
   no trip to Scotland required.   
      
   There seems to be a belief growing that what the public wants is   
   Really Long Movies. RLMs, I should add, /without/ intermissions.
