Hey, don't get me wrong - I didnt watch the film in Bhojpuri, but whilst I was deciding on the title of the forgettable flick, I was just left wondering if watching it in Bihari bhaasha could have been more entertaining for me.. Obviously with all those eyeball-grabbing special effects..
As of now, I feel like writing something to my boy next door like Spiderman.. Yeah - boy next door.. His supposed to be devilish hairstyle reminds more of Bhojpuri lead actors.. (It would have been real ease for Ravi Kishen to dub for this one)
So dear O dear, .. what happened
to u , my dear adorable spidey.. I liked u the most of all the
superheros by the time you had been through with your second outing..
I liked u coz you were this good, likeable boy which can remind any tom, dick n
harry of their own life, coz u blended two personalities so well in ur
movies till now..
You were a guy any common man could identify with, despite the superhero tag u carry..
So what happened to the good boy this time - he turned evil, dances
on the road - and though that looked super-cool, despite what most
critics seem to believe, I didnt like the way u got thrashed by three
different super villains who looked much more stronger to you..
What the hell? Is this the spidey we all know - that spidey that
has to take aid from junior Goblin to save himself from being killed
while Lady love watches in hopelessness and despair.
So much that your friend Harry seems to steal the show from you every
time u come together face to face.. its him that we people seem to
sympathize with, despite green shades seen in him here n there..
even the hot mama u walk around with; aah yes, the famous model -
she seems to grab more eyeballs than you even while u dance to
everyone's amazement at the club.. Ooohh, what a sweet lady! She gets
me a h-on even which Mary Jane couldn't provide...
Good that you cried less, coz whilst you did that, audiences
couldn't sympathize with you - coz they wanted the scene to get over, it was embarassing for them, to say the least.
And whats with your special effects - why do you have to get beaten all
the time in your red suite, so much that u can give our own Bollywood
anti-hero SRK in Darr a run for his money.. your beating by Sandman n the
other unnecessary spidyish villain in climax make you seem like a
helpless little spider in front of their super-humane powers. And yes, don't try to impress us with your jumping and juggling from one building to another. Whats the use of all that when your punch isn't even effective enough to jolt your enemies?
You entertained in parts.. I had no problems with your film in first
half.. but why did the second innings had to be such a downer that even
the impressive special effects couldn't save it.
Thats not what we expected from you.. coz we want you to take them
all alone, a superhero like you doesn't need help from any friends turned foes turned friends
to come to your rescue..
Please keep this mind in your next outing.. and please tell the director Sam Raimi about it as well. Otherwise we may be better off watching Superman returns for the second time rather than going for your third part again. At least Superman seemed stronger than you.
P.S. : Jokes apart, it was a major dissapointment, despite my having not great expectations from it, as I had been warned by several mouthshut members and some of my own friends as well. It would have been better with a single villain, either the Sandman or the black substance which becomes an inseparablle part of Peter Parker. The evil spider-like creature was also not required in the end. To top it all, the plot was way too complicated for a superhero flick, and for the first time Sam Raimi made me wonder whether it was really him who directed this film. Perhaps he got confused about how to develop the story and lost his grip on the narrative halfway into the film.
Could definitely have been better!
a 3/5 to the special effects technician for saving it to a large extent.
