Another proof that hype compensates for quality

Rating: 4/10 (23 July 2004)

I'm neither a die-hard fan of Spiderman comic strips, nor of comic strips at large. If you belong to this 2% of the audience, you might actually enjoy the movie. If you don't, chances are that you will experience a poor story, with poor special effects, and a boring love story. No surprises, nothing original, lots of superfluous stuff to fill the 120 minutes. It's not even remarkably bad.
The high rating proves once more that virtually any movie can make it into the Top#250, provided its marketing budget is big enough (see also: LOTR series).
Conclusions:
1- don't rely on IMDB ratings for heavily hyped movies.
2- don't watch this movie. Go for X-Men II instead.
3- 4/10 points, for watching the movie was just a waste of time, but it didn't hurt too much.
