Why is the rating so high? Corny, inconsistent, and irrelevant.

Rating: 5/10 (4 May 2007)

Recently I am very puzzled about IMDb ratings - here is north of 8 for a very thin story with a lot of holes (Spidey+Ugly Duckling not realising a meteor hitting earth withing 10 metres from them?) and several completely fishy twists (who killed or else or not Old Ben?), several occurrances of embarrassing corniness (highest cringe factor: Spidey plus Flag) and blatant repetitiveness (yet another finale saving Ugly Duckling from the baddie) spiced up with impressive but by now too well known SFX. Ah well, I guess I am a proof to the case that the movie earned its right to exist by milking the crowd for a few more dollars with the same brand. Still gave it a five, as Toby's "grease" scenes were a good laugh at least.
