As far as The Lone Ranger goes, I'll just download the TV episodes from the iTunes store. Yes, they are corny kitsch from the 50s, but they're a lot more fun to watch than that awful Klunker with Kilinton Spillsbury. Compared to Klinton, Armie Hammer has nowhere to go but up. But I'm agreeing with the folks in the previous posts. NOBODY under 30 has a clue as to who or what The Lone Ranger is. Which makes me wonder who greenlighted this at Disney...was it the same genius that did John Carter?????

BTW, what ever happened to Klinton Spilsbury??????

I disagree heavily with these two opinions.]]> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:43:15 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55016#55016 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5501&PID=55015#55015 Author: moviecritic1994

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

Now a lot of people either love or hate this film. Like a lot of my friends who have seen the original Spider man films say that this one is a rip off of sorts. Or maybe people hate it because a lighthearted superhero now has a darker tone. Well I managed to see The Amazing Spiderman on DVD and I must say... I love this movie. I might love it even more than the original films with Tobey McGuire. Though I do see the flaws everyone talks about. So let us explore the wonder that is "The Amazing Spiderman".

I must start with the "flaw" everyone talks about. We have to explore Peter Parker's origin story again. Now I must admit it's rather tiring to see how Peter Parker became Spiderman again. Just watching the first 35 or 40 minutes of the film you can tell the screenwriters really struggled with it because they didn't want to copy the 2002 film. So I do commend the writers for trying their best to be original with the beginning of the film.

A big trend that is going on with superhero films now a lot of them now have darker tones and darker characters. Of course, we can thank Christopher Nolan for that. I think the darker tone works for Spiderman and Batman. It might not work for other hero's like Aqua-man or Superman but it definitely works for them. Another thing I like about this film is that we actually get a little more back story of what happened to Peter's parents. In the Tobey McGuire films, his parents are just not around. We don't know if they died or just left him behind. But in this film, they are hinting that his parents might be in danger or have already died because of some part of conspiracy at Oscorp. Andrew Garfield does an excellent job in the role of Peter Parker. This time around, Peter seemed like a character we can all relate to. While Tobey's version character seemed a little too over the top and a little too perfect.

I also liked the supporting Cast. Sally field was great as Aunt May and I liked Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy. While Gwen Stacy was sort of a throw away character in Spider man 3, Emma's Gwen was more developed and likeable. Another problem everyone had I think was Kurt Connors. A lot of people thought he was a boring villain and his motivations weren't that interesting. While the Lizard has never been my favorite villain, I think the screenwriters really gave him a good motivation. He thinks we as humans are weak and would be stronger if we were all reptiles. It makes sense to me at least.

As a whole, I really love the film. Yeah we have to sit through another origin story we've seen a thousand times in comics, TV shows and the original films. But again, that's not the whole movie. It has a great cast, great story, excellent writing, wonderful direction by Marc Webb and a well put together villain. I would totally recommend to anyone.]]> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:37:32 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5501&PID=55015#55015 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6201&PID=55014#55014 Author: moviecritic1994

VITS, I might not do the Podcast anymore because Live stream has become too much of a hassle. So I might just post video reviews and such on YouTube. ]]> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:11:57 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55013#55013 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55012#55012 Author: moviecritic1994

I will definitely be checking out Monster's University. Since I am a big Disney fan and I really liked Monsters INC. World War Z I am sure will be a hit, but I am not really interested for two reasons. I don't really favor Brad Pitt films and the concept of a Zombie Apocalypse seems a little... well... stupid. ]]> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:10:54 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55012#55012 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55011#55011 Author: oiram

Does this mean you won't do the podcast? If so, then you can review the Razzie winners and nominees you were already planning on talking about.]]> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:05:07 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55010#55010 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55008#55008 Author: moviecritic1994

Don't tell me I got here too late to add an apropos image of my own! Though she's technically not trying to "pass" as Native American, Judy Garland in the "I'm an Indian, Too" number in ANNIE GET YOUR GUN (from which Garland was fired before filming was finished) has an expression below that strikes me as an appropriate reaction to all those "White Folks Going Native" images above:
