I have to admit, I'm not a huge comics fan. But I really liked the first Spider-Man movie. This one was just so boring! There were hardly any good action scenes, most of the movie was people standing around talking about the same things over and over. The back and forth "I love you, no I don't, yes I do." between Peter and Mary Jane is so excruciatingly boring after the first scene with them that I wanted to get up and leave. I really don't understand why so many people like this movie more than the first one. There were just so many things that made no sense about the characters and the plot. It was way too long, and had many unnecessary and completely puzzling scenes. It seemed like the director was trying to turn a comic book movie into some kind of artistic statement, and to me it just didn't work.

The first movie had a lot of funny lighthearted moments, this movie just didn't have the same kind of sense of humor, and I really missed that.

Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maquire's faces are so emotionless in some scenes. Its like they're so tired of having to do the same scenes over and over again, just in different outfits and locations, that the lines have become meaningless to them. James Franco has such a small range as an actor, he's just awful in the scenes that are supposed to be emotionally intense. I think he would be better suited to acting in soap operas. And god help us, if there is another one, he'll be the bad guy. Because his father just conveniently hid all his Green Goblin stuff in a secret room that they never showed in the first movie.
