Wouldn't see it again, wouldn't recommend it

Rating: 5/10 (5 May 2007)

I am ardent fan of comic book movies and always thought that Spiderman 1 & 2 were couple of the best made movies of that genre. Obviously, I went to see the movie with great expectations. I had some reservations as to how they were going to fit so many characters in the movie, and sadly my fears were not baseless.
At no point does the movie catch a tempo and maintain it. Its one hour too long and there are too many characters. Too many friends and too many foes!! Not to account for the multiple personalities Spidey goes through himself! There are really long periods of the film where absolutely nothing is happening...just some sappy love triangle brewing. And whats the deal with Uncle Ben. The guy's dead for crying out loud. Is there no other interesting angle in Spidey's life?!! All in all the movie is average. Terribly disappointing for fans especially after Spiderman-2. My advice is, if you have to watch the movie, don't have any expectations. 90 minutes into the movie you could take a restroom break, hell you could take a shower and come and you wouldn't miss anything. Best of luck!
