HiFi one of the greats! Never read the book or saw the TV show but perhaps I’ll revisit. The tangled Webb of my strong feelings about (500) I shall untangle with a revisit. When recommended to me by my friend Franx and I was a single man at the time, I thought it was a bore and kind of lame though I do love Jess and Robin’s acting in the film. As always, I do have the right to change my mind -- and like other Dungeon posts, I’m prompted at least to give (500) another go! Let’s see how it relates, as Franx said to me at the time -- “I think you don’t like it because you haven’t found your PERSON”. Maybe he’s right. And Webb got at least one Spidey movie mostly correct!
“The Amazing Spider-Man was the last Marvel Comics-based film that Roger Ebert reviewed before he died in 2013”
I remember you having some not-nice things to say about (500) Days of Summer back in the day. Maybe part of the problem is you look at the characters as "Jess" and "Robin." Just kidding! It's actually not as big a deal for Zooey, since she pretty much plays Jess all the time. You can revisit if you like. I'm not saying it's a great film, but it is, as we say in the biz,... fine. And if it makes you feel better, there's also a bit role for Agent Coulson in there.

Perhaps ...when I retire to Tahiti! Just Kidding!
