Not so good

Rating: 2/10 (27 May 2002)

The biggest problem with this movie is the length of the film. It is long and boring. The story doesn't pick up till well after the first hour. Too much background information that doesn't help the story along one bit. Then comes the acting, which was horrible. Willem Defoe who usually is so wonderful is god awful in this film. He uses a raspy and very laughable voice to try and sound evil, which i didn't buy one bit. Then the action sequences, which were all computer generated images that looked like computer generated images. No stunts whatsoever by a stunt man were required of this film. I am not a spider-man comic reader, so i had no love or bias going into this film. Spider-man was boring and i found myself staring at my watch waiting for the movie to be over. Save your money on this one and wait for it to come out on video, then just rent it for one viewing. Trust me you will not want to watch it more than once.
