Not familiar with Tobey Maguire's face? YOU WILL BE! Half of the movie was a steady shot of Peter Parker's face. Can we back the camera up, please? Another thing: what was with some of those voice-overs? The screams from some of the women were badly done, as were a few other yells that were so unnatural I laughed. There were a lot of comedians cast in this movie. I even saw Phil Lamar. I knew Stan Lee would be in it, but only for about 2.5 seconds this time. This movie was flawed and very cheesy, but I forgive because it is based on a comic, after all. I know I've been harsh, but it's not really all that bad (7/10). I guess sometimes I just hope for more serious effort, plot, costumes, characters, drama, development, dialogue, etc. Sometimes, not all the time, I want something that doesn't appeal so much to the lowest common denominator.

P.S.  You can skip the first hour because this is all they throw at you: Peter Parker's life sucks.
