Monumental disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (4 May 2007)

What the hell happened? Even their attempts at comedy were pitiful. I suspect they knew this movie was a stinker because of the over done, over acted, overly dramatic and just plain over the top crowd scenes near the end where everyone was just so in awe of Spidey. And then the scene where he swings in front of the American flag to demonstrate to the audience that he is a hero and we are supposed to like him? Why should we when he has become an egocentric, clueless, crybaby? And MJ has become manipulative and narcissistic; unable to make up her mind which nut she wants to be with. Harry, as it turns out, is the only likable character and the only one with any depth. I haven't walked out of a movie since Uncle Buck. I didn't walk out of this one, but I seriously thought about it. Stan Lee and Sam Raimi should be ashamed of themselves.
