They could have done much better than this...

Rating: 1/10 (16 July 2002)

Okay, it's based on a comic book, but the movie didn't need to have
a stupid, hackneyed plot like comic books do. To me, the movie felt
like it was 3 hours long, the time just dragged on and on.
Here's my beefs, Osborne (however you spell his name) works for
a company that has a personal hovercraft, weird orbs that can
dissolve flesh, shoot orbs, and create massive explosions without
harming main characters like MJ and Osborne's son, and a
special chemical that increases a persons strength (while making
them homicidal and insane). That's like Microsoft making
computer software, shell casings for 25 cent super market
trinkets, and the cushionie undersole on Nike shoes.
Okay, Dunst and Macguire were good for the parts, but I can't stand
Tobey's voice. I don't hate or like the guy, but that voice... anyone
would recognize it, even behind that red mask. Apparently this will
be one part of a trilogy. I can only wonder who can be next. The
only trilogy worth a damn these days seems to be the LOTR trilogy.
the new Star wars and Spider-Man don't stand a chance against
that well written, well casted trilogy.
