If meaningful dialog's your thing, you're going to be disappointed.

Rating: 2/10 (11 February 2007)

In between the overt, gratuitous explosions and debris of Spider-Man 2, you'll be hard pressed to find anything actually worth taking away from the film.
The dialog is far too clichéd to be taken seriously. The acting isn't exactly top class either and only lends to the overall cheese factor of the 10-a-penny attempts at emotionally charged one-liners.
For one thing, there's far, far too much crying for a superhero movie. It seems to me that there wasn't enough emotional weight in the script for the audience to attach themselves to, so the director decided to simply have the main characters cry every couple of scenes in a not exactly subtle attempt to inject emotion into the bog standard plot.
I did give the movie 2 out of 10, entirely for the special effects. However, there simply isn't enough adrenaline pumping action to keep even the most optimistic entertained, and to be honest, there's not much that can be considered mind blowing for it's creativity. The characters themselves also have a tendency to look rubbery and out of place in certain scenes while duking it out.
As a Spider-Man movie, this one really didn't hit the mark for me. I feel it's an uninspired transition from the first (which I enjoyed much more) to the third (which I am hopeful for, despite this train wreck) iterations and I see it as no more than mindless CGeye-candy at best.
