Alright, look, this isn't revolutionary or anything and it probably will be forgotten by the end of the year, but it is good. It's about ten times better than Kiss The Girls, it's predessor, and that movie was alright. Along Came A Spider portrays a really clever story with some nice twists and a great character in Alex Cross. So many mysteries have the cop figure something out without ever explaining how. This movie is clear about every last detail. I read the book about a year ago and my biggest concern going into this one was that it wouldn't do the book justice. Now, like all movies, it was not as good as the book. You can't beat an original. However, it made the necessarry changes and with exception to a few flat conversations, everything was done right. So I was not disasppointed by the way the book was represented at all. Infact, it is impressive that I enjoyed this movie as much as I did considering that I knew the whole plot ahead of time. Imagine if I didn't know it. It's a good movie and I know it hasn't been getting good reviews, but I'm glad I didn't let that stop me from seeing it. Critics are idiots. This movie is far from fantastic, but it's good and worth the evening. If nothing more, it definitely keeps one entertained.
