A chick flick with special effects.

Rating: 5/10 (1 December 2004)

The Super-heroics take a backseat to the nauseating romance between Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson who is once again, unfortunately, played by the extremely plain looking Kirsten Dunst.
Parker goes from being nerd to superhero to super heroic nerd. Despite having amazing reactions and agility is he suddenly clumsy - because of emotional stress! Parker is so utterly pathetic that it's hard to feel any sympathy or empathy with him. I want my super-heroes to be super not dysfunctional.
Spider-Man's battles with Dr Octopus and the performances of Maguire and Molina are the movies saving grace.
