Horst_In_Translation Review of Italian Spiderman

Italian Spiderman (2007)

Not funny, not interesting, not Spiderman

[4/10 · 9 November 2015]

"Italian Spiderman" is a 40-minute Australian short film from almost 10 years ago written and directed by Dario Russo and he is also the dubbed voice of the lead actor here. Obviously, his ethnic roots contribute to the story behind this movie as we see a fat guy with long hair and a mustache playing Spiderman here. However, the only thing that this weak film here has in common with Spiderman is that the main character wears a red costume. Also I cannot remember when Spiderman used guns like he does in this film. I guess that must be the Italian mafia connection? Very creative. Not. This film does not only look very amateurish from start to end, it also has forgettable acting and none of the jokes are really funny, nor the antagonists interesting. Pretty bad movie that profited obviously from the title character's popularity and became slightly well-known itself thanks to that. Absolutely not deserved. Not recommended.
