I honestly can't see the big deal here

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2002)

This is not the greatest movie ever made by any means. Sure it has snazzy effects, but the overall pacing is incredibly slow, and there aren't that many action sequences I can clearly remember. I remember it being more bland that BANG! Tobey Maguire is way overrated, I'm getting sick of him.
The only thing it has going for it is Kirsten Dunst, and that rain scene was a pleasant surprise. (People who have seen it know what I mean ;)
But, the Hollywood Blockbuster Machine rolls on, and there's nothing to prevent Spiderman II from coming. I gave this one a chance, but it lost my attention for the rest of this franchise.
