WHAT?

Rating: Null/10 (30 June 2002)

Did they release two versions of this movie? One that I saw and one that all these people who are writing good comments about the movie saw? Admittedly, the special effects were pretty good and decently "real" But the acting was awful in this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!! When Tobey Maguire cried in the hospital I was looking for the Visine bottle letting out drops from above his head.. Half of the audience laughed at this scene in the theater... Oh, and how about Willem Defoe? Did anyone buy him as the schizo rich guy? The scenes in which he struggles with his alter ego in the mansion? Give me a break! Oh, and maybe they should try hiring writers for Spidey 2, so that the dialogue won't be so stilted and bumbling.
Watch the original Batman and try to say this was a good comic adaptation. Better yet, watch A Beautiful Mind so you can see what a truly talented on screen couple can do. Tobe and Kirsten remind me of the the leads in a high school musical or community theater play in comparison to Jennifer Connelly and Russell Crowe..
