"Oh, but it was took the superhero genre to new levels...the love story was realistic, the characters had depth!"
hell no it didn't. all those plot lines sucked, and if it were a regular action flick -- no comic book influence -- everyone would have rightly said so.
acting was garbage. there were about 20 minutes of interesting Spiderman stuff, and 100 minutes of crappy dialogue. NOBODY wants to see Kirsten Dunst and Tobey McGuire have conversations!
I would've rented crazy/beautiful if I needed to see some shitty love story, or gone endure the latest Kate Hudson flick to reward myself with pussy afterwards.
plus, the damn thing would never end. Even the convoluted mess called Spiderman 3 was better.
Daredevil had some crappy parts, but the first-person scenes were 10x better than ANYTHING in Spiderman 2.
Spiderman 2: the most overrated comic book movie of all-time.
