This Spider-Man spin-off is entertaining—the action sequences hold together, blood gushes frequently, and Aaron Taylor Johnson dons a midriff-baring costume. But it's also convoluted and full of extraneous characters.
This jacked up, action extravaganza invites a bold send-up of Hollywood excess and self-seriousness. But 'The Fall Guy' has neither the wit nor the gumption to follow through.
