Well, it was definitely awesome.

But I’m not sure if it was this awesome. It’s definitely no X2, at any rate.

Action was unbelievable. The subway fight is very cool, as is… well, everything involving Doc Ock.

My biggest issue was just how long it took to get off the ground. X2 starts with that crazy Nightcrawler sequence, but this one just kind of begins right after the credits (which, by the way, are beautiful). Also, because there’s so much information in the trailer (’I am Spiderman no more’), you know all the way through that that scene is coming up. In my mind, because that was so publicized, I would’ve put it in the first 20 minutes of the film…

Whatever, that’s just me griping. It’s still a very intense, exciting film, and I highly recommend it for summer fun.

PS - I had a quick look, but I can’t find that spidey opening credit artwork anywhere. It seems that it was done by Alex Ross, but is now owned by Sony Pictures. If anyone comes across it (like, before the DVD release), I’d love to see it again. Drop me a line.
