For hardcore Spiderman fans only

Rating: 1/10 (18 July 2004)

I saw this tonight and thought it was quite poor. Very slow at times and I didn't find the acting between Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst convincing. The pace really hurt the storyline, and didn't learn from the mistakes of the first film. Some of the jokes e.g. mops falling out of the cupboard had people laughing out loud at the cinema. They brought a wry smile to my face but weren't that funny. The CGI was not so spectacular in some places. Doc Ock looked completely different in CGI form, and near the end where Spiderman turned away from the camera to jump away the transition to the CGI Spiderman was noticeable. The film's saving grace was really in Dr. Octavius and Parker's Grandmother. Overall I would give it 6/10.
Clearly this is a film were I am against the majority, like I was with 'Signs'.
