1's are a rarity from me, it means a film is devoid of all redeeming features and I especially hate giving them to independent movies but on this occasion I have absolutely no choice.
Spider Man: Lost Cause is a lengthy British fan made origin story that follows our nerdy Peter Parker as he fulfills his destiny to become one of the worlds most infamous superheroes.
There are some great fan made movies out there, look at Never Hike Alone (2018) which demonstrated what can be done. This however has a considerably lower budget and underlines my point about never swinging above your weight. If you don't have the money to pull something off then simply don't try.
Lost Cause had me cringing and wincing all the way through, the acting is on another level that I very very rarely see. It's so astonishingly bad throughout, if I were rating the actors I'd say they range from 1 down to -5 at best. That one long blonde haired guy especially was really something else, he hammed it up worse than Julian Sands (Oddly also long blonde haired).
You ever seen those old Bollywood superhero movies? Clips often went viral on social media. Look up Indian Superman/Spidergirl etc. Those look better than this and have the same unintentionally hilarious vibe about them.
I appreciate what they were trying to do but they literally failed to tick a single box. It looks horrific, the acting is beyond words, the score is generic, the sfx are terrible and the plot is boring.
Stick with what your budget allows and for the love of Hades hire actors!
The Good:
Some neat Easter eggs
The Bad:
Some awful acting
They fail to get anything right across the board
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
When you find yourself saying that a superhero movie is worse than Cat Woman (2004) it's time to start re-evaluating things
This has a sequel, I......I......I just don't know if I have it in me
