Disappointed

Rating: 5/10 (1 July 2004)

I was less than thrilled with Spiderman 2.I was really looking forward to seeing this, especially since all of the critics were going gaga over it......It has it's moments, like the hysterical elevator scene with Hal Sparks, but it was WAY to talky and slow moving. It was hard to stay awake at times. Not nearly as exciting as the first Spidey movie. Too much philosiphizing and not enough action. Booooring! Plus the novelty of seeing Spidey fly around through New York isn't as cool anymore.
I thought the abuse Peter Parker took was a little excessive. Why was he constantly getting screwed with? Alfred Molina as Dock Ock was cool, but he had too little screen time and then he went down fairly easy. Give me Dark Man anyday!! Why, Sam Raimi? I give it a 6/10.
