Pretty bad overall - really poor story and editing

Rating: 4/10 (30 June 2004)

Just finished the big preview showing for June 30... pretty awful. Bad story, pretty weak acting (the tortured hero - puh-leeze), and strange homages. What was that "Mary Tyler Moore" moment with the freeze frame? And the screaming woman running at the camera...? Take off her shirt and it could be Airplane all over! The fusion ball - really stupid. And the rage from the Green Goblin's son and the tee-up for the sequel at the end - horrible. I was mildly entertained by the moments of levity, and the CGI was much better this time, but I predict that Spider-Man 2 won't have the July 4th box office that Hollywood is hoping. On an up note, the Bourne Supremacy looks very promising.
