I'm not sure when this began but too many people/reviewers are giving movies great ratings that would never have gotten as high back 15-20yrs ago. This is what happened with SM 2. This was a slow paced overboard love story that went way tooo far using the comic book excuse to get away with things that couldn't even happen in the SM comics! yes i know its a comic book but for crying out loud, he would have at least broke his nose slamming into that brick wall. Thats just one dumb thing in a series of many others. An elevated train in NY Dead ending over water? LOL Too many flaws and boring story. MJ lives next store to Peter but hasn't seen him in two years? "Long time, no see" Endless shots of Peter being a loser. I'd rather watch the much better "Hero At Large" John Ritter movie SM 2= 5/10
