Simply cannot understand the hype

Rating: 3/10 (22 April 2014)

Spiderman 2 is not only a children's flick but a very basic children's flick which drags on for hours as more of a try-hard deep romance, than the advertised "action" movie.
After stopping the criminals he makes it to the Graduation ceremony just as Mary J is wrapping up her speech and glides on stage to make out with her in front of the entire graduating class. It is this arrogance and cocky nature which makes Spiderman/Peter Parker difficult to like as a character.
Whats more is that there is no chemistry between the two lovers. The script is so "smooth" it's unbelievable.You'd think that with 1 1/2 hours focused on the romance there would be some sort of feeling of attachment to their relationship from the audience, but not even a whim was heard when Mary J died.
The action scenes (which are few and far between) are alright. The special effects are great and Jaimie Fox plays an excellent Electro (I still cant understand why thousands of volts pumping through him caused him to develop super powers)its just unfortunate that the action scenes were cut thin because of the numerous sub plots which could easily have been removed and no one would have cared.
Overall I was glad to leave the cinema and would have earlier if i had not been with my girlfriend.
Cheers Spidey
