Police Story was such an experience!! I saw it at the plaza and it was nuts how perfect everything was!

On Raimi Spider-Man series: 1 is honestly a good movie. Its campy and has some rough early 00s CGI at times. But film wise it is /fine/. 2 is alright - can be a fun watch but is rougher film structure wise than 1 ... and 3 is bad which is fun from a bad movie perspective. Good riffing movie.

I have a lot of mixed thoughts on this movie; to me it fails when taken as an adaptation of the source material. It's clear the movie is geared much more towards an American audience under the Bush administration whereas the book is explicitly about Margret Thatcher's conservative government, and is also as Derrick mentions, much more psychological and sexual in nature. However, I think when taken as a politically charged action movie merely inspired by the book it's pretty tight, with some really slick action, writing and direction. Although it does bug me that they never once use the word ‘fascist’ or ‘fascism’ in the movie. I think I’d give it 3 popcorn shakers overall.
