Not a great one

Rating: 6/10 (11 November 2005)

Does the movie work? Yes, but I left the theater feeling disappointed and now I'm trying to figure out why.
The film starts with reasonably interesting characters and a passable script, but tells the tale in a kind of flat way. The actors are all experienced people but somehow I got the feeling that they could have gotten more out of this scene, more out of that scene etc.
The special effects work, but somehow don't work, like there was not quite enough money in the budget or they simply ran out of ideas. In both Spider Man films you got the feeling that New York had become Spider Man's personal jungle gym, but not so here. Not a terribly bad film, but not a terribly good one either.
