I had high expectations...

Rating: 3/10 (23 April 2007)

I had high expectations and was utterly, utterly disappointed. The 2 hours or so that this movie took to play out in front of me felt like an unbearable 3 or 4! Yes the effects were amazing, but that's pretty much where it ends. Every plot point was too convenient, from explaining the back-story of the Sandman to Harry's emotional turn-around. Most of the audience I saw it with was laughing at the supposed 'dramatic' scenes. Too much time and money were spent on effects, when what it needed most was another year or so of script development. I rate it 3 out of 10! The 3 points given only because of the high point of the film - a random cameo that felt like it was tacked on at the last minute! Come on Sony, Spiderman deserves better.
