I think the only way to survive this movie is by getting drunk prior to watching it.It's slow, over-dramatic ( which is OK in a b-movie or if the ingredients had been mixed up properly ), boring and so-on. I don't think you are supposed to sympathies with the villain in these kind of movies, but Spiderman is simply too much of a loser to feel for. Consequently, I cannot believe the ratings for this movie. It's got little or no humour (kind of essential I'd think ), bad acting ( or is that on purpose? ) and a lousy script. Perhaps I'm missing the point and it's actually wickedly funny and has all the marks of a classic, but somehow I don't think so.I did enjoy Spiderman 1 for what it was worth: a straightforward action movie, but that's not enough to save this one.I have come to rely on the ratings from IMDb.com however, this surely must be one of the worst blockbusters ever. It would do well in a b-movie marathon though...
