Shallow and meaningless

Rating: 4/10 (27 October 2012)

For me, the biggest failures of this movie were: 1. Shallowness We never really get inside the character's heads and most of the dramatic scenes (with Uncle Ben giving advice, dying etc.) are shallow and uninvolved - merely doing lip-service to the events ("oh, yeah, and this happened as well and we should make a scene out of it").
2. Villain The villain was a shallow shell and ultimately very uninteresting.
3. Aunt May She seemed to have something to do up until Uncle Ben died, but then she really did not do anything else but stand around. We didn't even see her grieve properly. So, shallow again.
4. Bad love story The movie was long, but still failed to tell us how Peter fell in love with Gwen. Certainly he stuttered around her a lot, but they never seemed to actually talk about anything or make a real connection.
