A great movie that makes a true believer twitch

Rating: 8/10 (1 July 2004)

OK, forgive me. If I wasn't a complete geek, this movie would have gotten a 10. The entire movie was utterly awesome, and they managed to fit amazing action in with a very believable love story. So if you're not a life-long comic book fanatic, this movie will win high acclaim with you! Even if you are, you will thoroughly enjoy the movie. I suppose a few little details don't really seem "organic" to the plot line itself, like Doc Ock's creation story, but overall, it hung together pretty tight. Heck, they even wove some good Spidey classics in there. What the heck am I saying? I loved the movie! Why didn't I vote it a 10?

For those who have seen it, what was the POINT of Doc Ock's arms in his creation story, which was utterly lame? The plot could have easily carried on with him being a brilliant biophysicist or biomechanical engineer... even a computer science guru. The nuke was really not an essential end-of-city situation... it could just as easily been a swarm of nanotech machines that Doc Ock designed to cure people, but ended up reproducing and tearing people apart.... whatever. By no means would a physicist need four mechanical appendages to run a machine like the fusion reactor.
