i think most people who have comment on this movie have watch it with the wrong attitude . get real while what do you expect from a flick blatantly name spider and apparently feature some generic monstrous arachnid creature wreak havoc on people . unless youre an easily amuse teenager with poor judgment and you instinctively steer clear from these kind of picture when look for chill and thrill . there be quality film that offer just that . i think i be about to watch a really bad movie and with unintentionally comedic element and worthless cast and storyline and directing . i be wrong . this movie quickly reveal it true nature for the perceptive . take for grant that the movie be bad on purpose and i could actually appreciate the cheesy dialog and all the self irony that it display . the character make illogical decision and use stupid reasoning and do not try to take themselves seriously . the way in which the plot unfolds and how the main character figure it out be an obvious parody of the genre and and there be so many detail which contribute to that feeling in the dialog and some of the scene while a guy hold the spider teeth like bull horn and make dna enhance mutant spider from hell seem like a an ordinary casual case of lively struggle and quote like this be so creepy . it like a bad sci fi movie . and i mean what the hell be this place . i do not care what this place be and what the f ck be we do here . etc . make me at least chuckle at time and because they often raise valid point regard the absurd setting of the film and and do it with subtlety . the cgi be decent at time and yet laughable in some part ( especially when the spider be run around wall etc ) . the spider look gory enough in close shot . the physical web be compose of thin rope and you can see the knot tie together the intersection and which to me be a funny detail ( c amon and they could have easily avoid that and would they have care for realism ) . the pacing be fine while there be enough action to keep the viewer at least semi entertain and assume they can appreciate other aspect of the film also ( i be not a big fan of irrational abominable creature vs. bunch of dumb people film ) . all in all and this be definitely not a serious movie and so you should not watch it a one . if you be in a humourless mood look for some horror and then this movie will probably only make you angry . a a compensation for all the bad rating this movie have receive on imdb and i have to give it positive . i would dare to say it be more self aware and intelligent than most people realize .
