The high IMDB rating only makes sense if you are 10-15 years old. Then the teen romance with action scenes and infantile characters, jokes etc. Is likely enjoyable.

But anyone 18+ will probably roll their eyes out of their head watching this. And yes - I know recent Spiderman movies have been for kids. But the reviews everywhere were soo good - the ultimate Spiderman, a true gem by Marvel bla bla bla.

In reality, the movie has an extremely dumb plot... Basically the whole thing happens for no reason at all. None of the characters are actually developed at all, making it impossible to build any connection with them. This then totally doesn't work in the constant "emotional" scenes which are overplayed by the actors - while you feel nothing because the characters were not developed.

There is actually no villain, and stories from previous movies are disgraced by turning their villains into sick puppies of a sort. And previous versions of Spiderman into emotional basket cases...it feels like a parody, yet it tries to pass along some message...

Anyhow it is kind of like watching a high-tech Tom&Jerry - lots of friendly-ish fighting, no overarching plot, just watching silly things happen over and over again.

If you are a kid, or a parent getting something for kids, it is probably an OK choice - and actually with decent morals etc. But don't get tricked by the ratings if you are an adult viewer.
