Movie Review: Along Came a Spider

As I watched Along Came a Spider, I really couldn't shake of an uncanny feeling that the movie was just not with it. It is like having a conversation with somebody, and halfway through the meal, you realize they have not been listening to a word you have said. Your first clue would be their nonsensical babbling, and your second clue would probably be their empty gaze. This is a lot like Along Came a Spider, whose plot meanders, seemingly without logic or reason, for the full hour and fourty-five minutes. It even goes so far as to employ crappy CG effects during the opening scene.

Technically, it's a sequel to Kiss the Girls, which wasn't very good either. The first movie gave Morgan Freeman a bit more to chew with though, and he was good then. He has few lines in Along Came a Spider, and his acting feels dispassionate - probably due to the nonsensical actions his character demands he take.

Mostly, it's just a crappy plot, with a weak ending, and unnatural plot twists. It's not really even worth seeing if you like Morgan Freeman (which I do). Pass, please.
