Please, sir, I want some more.

I think we've said all there is to say about this one.
Excellent special effects and action sequences. Wonderful casting. Terrible character and plot development. A lack of synch and flow between scenes and sub-plots. Humor, dramatic irony and just a few moments of writing and acting that, at times, brought about such general discomfort among audience members, one could hear the gasping from those situated near the fire exits as though they were lounging in the next seat over.
I'm talking about the kind of gasping that forcibly and inadvertently escapes the viewer as if to ask, "Did I really just see Mary Jane Watson plant the most awkward, cliché', blatantly scripted 'I-don't-know-what-I want' kiss on the lips of Harry Osborne?!"
In all fairness, I guess it could have been classified as an 'I-need-comfort-and-understanding-from-somebody-now' kiss as well.
Well, I won't bash the movie too much...there aren't many out there without flaws. I suppose, like many others who saw the film, I'm just disappointed that a storyline and cast with so much potential left me wanting less and more. Less sequence and more development, that is.
I guess these days our esteemed producers can market only so much to the crowd who craves a sensical, believable plot and the same from its characters. I know, I know...it's a comic book story. Hey, Spiderman is real.
Bottom line: If you haven't already, see the movie because it's Spiderman, dry your eyes if and when you find yourself wondering what it could have been, then hope like crazy that Spiderman 4 rocks your socks off!
