Pretty disappointed with the whole thing

Rating: Null/10 (30 June 2004)

Before I say anything I just want to say that I am a HUGE fan of the first movie and of spider man in general so this isn't a bashing session, just my opinion. First of all what the hell happened the the one liners that spidey had in the first movie like "your the one that's out gobby, out of your mind!" or "hey kiddo why don't you be quiet and let mom and dad talk for a while?" It seems like they tried to make the movie much more serious for some reason and in trying to do that they made it more about peter parker than about spiderman, and isn't the movie called spiderman? I think they should have called this one peter parker because that's who I saw on screen for the majority of the 120 minutes. This movie wasn't a complete waste of time though, there were some good parts that made me think about how good the first movie was and how good this one could have been. But all in all I thought the acting, direction, screenplay, and pacing were not even close to being on par with the first movie, and for having over 2 years of high expectations for this film I was just let down. For number three maybe sam raimi should hire writers who have written action adventure before not writers who have only written crappy melodrama like this.
