It wasn't thaaat great...(might contain spoilers!)

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2004)

When i came out of the movie theater, I felt empty... not spiritually, but financially! my wallet was $10.25 lighter. I am not saying this was a horrible movie, it just didn't feel that great! why didn't it feel that great? here are the following reasons...
1.) Character development. Many movies have problems with their character development i.e. very little character development, but this movie's case was quite the contrary, it has Waaay too much character development. You see, that's what they made the first movie for to build the character and the second one can actually have a BOLD story. I understand they tried to make Peter Parker vulnerable and for us to show him pity (which by the way, was very well done by Toby McGuire) but they did too much of it! We know who Peter Parker is!! We understand how vulnerable his character is!
2.) Too many unnecessary scenes. I still don't understand why they had that landlord's daughter and her nervous high school crush towards him. what was all that about? For a second I thought he was gonna ditch Mary Jane and go for the landlord's daughter. Not only I found this scene useless and pointless but also a big bore!
3.) Again, this movie dragged on a LOT. All that boring melodramatic sequences was actually somewhat compensated by the last 35 mins or so. The action sequence on the moving train was great! One of the best action sequences I have seen in a while.
4.) The ending. Was it me? or did anyone else find that a lot of people knew Spidey's secret identity? Mary-Jane Watson, okay that makes a sense, this was done so she can make a decision over Peter Parker rather than John Jameson. Harry Osbourne, so that he can constantly ponder and go mad over killing Spiderman or loving his best friend to finally reaching to an arbitrary solution, putting on that suit to become Green/Hob goblin. Doc Oc finds out who Spiderman is, but then again he dies in the end, or does he? But what about all those people in the train cart? "don't worry Spiderman, we won't tell anyone" can they be trusted? they are after all New Yorkers...! okay that last bit was a lame joke, please don't be offended.
In conclusion, I wouldn't say this movie was great. Although I did find the second one better than the first one, I'd still have to say this movie was okay, in fact if it weren't for that last couple of minutes, I'd have to say this movie would've been really horrible! If anyone out there have opposing view points to what I've said, please post them, I wish someone can change my view on this movie!
