Extremely Boring

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 2004)

Here is the challenge...Has anyone ever managed to get a refund if a movie was disappointing??
I saw Spidey 2 the other night and I got bored stiff...The whole thing was a disaster...I should have known that it is very difficult to follow a big hit...
The screenplay was badly structured, dialogs were appalling and worst of all was the acting. The original movie was more of a comic strip with plastic character, Sam Raimy's attempt to give them more emotions led to disaster (ie Osborne Junior)
I was surprised that Molina not only badly acted, had terrible lines but accepted this role. His evil edge was as patchy as Tom Hardy's Schinzon in Star Trek: Nemesis (or the appalling role of Brian Cox's Stryker in X-Men 2)...Good Lord, where are those superb British talents gone!!
True, there were was probably a single action scene worthy of the first movie, the NY Metro chase though it's outcome was pitiful. Spidey flying SFX was another disaster area, John Dykstra messed up this time.
In conclusion, an extremely boring and badly sequel to what was (if not the only) an excellent Marvel Comics adaptation. I am sure ain't gonna waste my money on the 3rd one. The last time I was so depressed watching a so-called Hollywood blockbuster was the awful X-Men 2.
Now don't get me wrong, I adored the first movie, it was refreshing, well structured and full of vigor and not pretentious.
