I agree with all of this. The lifeless cinematography and green screen makes it look less like an "Actual movie", if you know what i mean. There's no style to it, and I do think the use of the CGI just makes all of that look much worse.This is exactly the problem for me.
It's interesting seeing so many complaints about the CGI. IMO the visuals in this don't seem particularly worse than than a lot of standard MCU stuff. It's not even so much the CGI (which isn't great) for me, it's the flat, lifeless cinematography with such heavy green screen. And it's not a Sony issue. The Venom movies, as dumb and goofy as they are, look a lot better than this. The CGI in Let Their Be Carnage was pretty fantastic actually, imo.
But I'm wondering if actually seeing the same characters whose movies looked better two decades ago is finally starting to make more people realize it.
That said, I do think this movie should be a lot of fun. Seeing more from Ock and Goblin did bring up some emotion for me. It just made me wonder how much more impact this might have if it didn't feel like such a middle of the pack MCU flick.
Also, I think fans should brace themselves for mixed reviews and just enjoy the ride. Member berries + convoluted plot and CGI-fest is a recipe for critics to have a go at it. This isn't going to be a movie for the critics, you just have to embrace that I think. I'm not trying to be a downer here, I mean it. If this movie means a lot to you and seeing Tobey/Andrew on screen again will be a huge moment, then just enjoy it and don't worry about critical response. I may be a bit cynical about the film, but I'm really hoping that Tobey will hit me in the feels when it happens. That's all I want out of this.
As for the possible mixed reception for this, I honestly wouldn't be surprised. But for me, seeing Tobey again as well as Ock, Goblin, and Sandman will be enough to satisfy me. I get a chance to see all of these characters again, so even if it's a mess of a movie, at least I'll have that. I mean, who would have thought any of this would happen?
