Three major downs

Rating: 6/10 (14 May 2007)

I want to start by saying that I love Spiderman.I love the comics,the cartoons,and the first two films. But this one is just not working out.I have found three major faults,and a lot of smaller ones that I won't be mentioning,while watching.
1)Two words.Tobey McGuire.He's bad.Dear,he's bad.I don't know who ever decided to make him an actor and thought it was a good idea.He does the exact same act for every part he plays.In the first two films,it didn't bug me that much,but now it's a lot more obvious.A lot of actors out there would deserve to play Spiderman.
A note:While mentioning actors,a small part for our lovely Mary Jane Watson... Ah,Kirsten Dunst...or shall I maybe say,Claudia?What a wonderful development of a career,isn't it...Starting off staring with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt,I mean,come on,I repeat,Tom Cruise AND Brad Pitt,carrying on with The Virgin Suicides...Now she's only an inch apart from being a teeny-weeny American sweetheart,like so many are.The only thing that prevents this is that she's good.She really has material.
Anyway,back to the subject.
2)The way they tried to squeeze in too many sagas and characters in one film,which makes me think that it's probably Spiderman films no more.It's a two hours movie,why trying to put everything in it at the same time?Work on one and develop it.
3)Why does Peter always takes off his mask while fighting?And how do the NYPD can't find out who he is?Come on,they can identify Mary Jane from hundreds of feet above,Peter was there all the time,fighting,for some reason,with his mask OFF,how can they not figure out it's him?It's sillier than the way no one recognises Sailor Moon as Usagi.
OK,so I'm taking three starts away.For the minor things,another one.It's 6/10. Better next time.
