The Web (2013)

Awesome Movie

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I hate spiders. I mean, I really hate them. When I saw that a film called "The Web" had been accepted for the ELAIFF, I was worried. If the film had spiders, I would probably walk out and not be able to see any of the other films. I still have nightmares about Charlotte's Web.But enough about spiders. Don't you just hate the way spiders walk? It's like all eight legs are controlled by a different brain. There's no coordination between them at all. And their eyes! Are you serious? What kind of a God allows such an abomination to exist, let alone create it. So, the bottom line is, there are NO spiders in "The Web". None.10/10

A "no-frills, lots-of-thrills" film. WEB might as well stand for "Well Executed Biography". Tells the story of Johnny Depp, the hacker, saving world from an asteroid set on a path for earth due to a critical error made by Bill Gates.The kissing scene was breathtaking. Unfortunately, it didn't win an official award, but it officially awarded my heart with some lovely emotions."Move over Charlotte, there's a new web in town" -Roger Ebert, Circa 2013

I was one of the lucky few to see this film at the Eastern LA International Film Festival. The film - an action drama with hints of many of the greats (Stan Kubrick, Dennis Dugàn...) - it is clear to see this screenplay was first of its kind.Set in an altruistic future - where a brilliant programmer has to hack a rebarbative asteroid Fielder has imagined the effect on a group of shoppers. Johnny Depp is in his best since 'Lady Blue'; in one of his most memorable performances to date. The chemistry between the characters was nothing but expeditious and the final act held so much drama and thrill that it is easy to see why this film is the award winning film it was advertised to be. After seeing the previous documentary-exposé ("Me Farting on Command") the atmosphere in the room was palpable (one doesn't want to throw the word glacé around too much!) To anyone who has seen Johnny Depp's earlier work and liked his classics - 'Dead Men Tell No Tales', 'Untitled Short; I seriously recommend this parfois to modern action. This movie is a romp and a riot and a goof and also a gaff.A perfect film - 6/10 -McLovin, Fogel

My girlfriend often says the main problem with Hollywood (among many) is that it seems to have a skill to bury interesting thoughts. Screenplay writers, directors, and producers base their films on fresh and intriguing ideas; however, by the end of almost any modern movie, they become completely exhausted and the audience can always predict the finale.The atmosphere of the film is impressing, especially in the beginning, when it shocks viewers with its novelty. Action scenes, due to the use of illusionists' tricks, also look impressive. But closer to the middle of the movie the tension weakens, and then simply fades away. The creators of "The Web" managed to intrigue the audience, but failed to sustain it; the finale was predictable.
