I was expecting this to be your regular churn-em-out hollywood blockbuster. I suppose it was, but it was a lot better than most. Even though the plot was somewhat predictable (we all know what’s going to happen), it was kept interesting by good writing and good acting. Also, the villian in this movie was done really well – his character actually made sense, he wasn’t just “evil for the sake of being evil”. I also liked less-than-straightforward love story. As for criticism? Peter Parker is way too excited and not a bit freaked-out by his transformation. He reacts like it’s something that happens every day. Ho-hum, so I’m shooting webs from my wrists… big deal… Also, the special effects could have been more gravity-realistic, there are a couple scenes where spidey’s moves just don’t look “correct”. (And exactly where did he get that suit?)
