Why didn't I listen? I almost walked out.

So Spiderman went emo, and it was nearly as bad as you said. Too long, and too many bad guys. As Mary-Jane said "its always about you", and I'm getting sick of it very quickly.

( A little more conversation, a little less action... )

There were some things I liked. Gwen Stacey was pretty. Robert Englund the bloke from I Robot/LA Confidential is it. The Bugle ran a "Doc Ock Still at Large" headline at one point. Oh and the trailer for Transformers. All Kinds of Awesome. So good I can forgive Bumblebee not being a Beetle.
