It's too American, too over the top and too bad.

Rating: 1/10 (4 May 2007)

I can't believe I wasted 2 hours on it. It takes ages to get going, there's awful camera-work in some of action scenes - so shaky it seemed like a child was holding the camera and when it smooth and stable in the CGI bits it's at weird angles (like Matrix 3 in the final fight sequence) so often you can't really tell what's going on as it all moves too fast to get any visual references. The bad Peter Parker is laughable, as is the slow mo landing besides a giant waving American flag. You can invariably predict what's going to happen next. A breeze block lands in Mary Janes taxi whilst she's suspended 80 feet above the street in a web. Is she going to bash a baddie's head with it? I wonder...
Our cinema was packed as it's opening day here in the UK, and out of about 350, I counted over 30 leaving before the end. I've never seen people walking out of heavily promoted blockbusters before. A huge disappointment.
