Spoiler!




*********************************************

Some of the dialogue really turned me off and kind of ruins the legacy that Spider-Man 1 and 2 built. The first and second Spider-Man had subtle humor which was enjoyable, witty, and didn't take away from the drama and seriousness. However in this one, it seems all the humor is just laid right out on the table without any consideration for the mood of the film.

For example...

*serious scene*

*Peter has just saved Mary Jane from falling, checking to make sure she is alright*

(Harry Osbourne in the midst of battle with Sandman): "Am I interrupting?" (followed by goofy grin)

That comment just totally ruins the moment created seconds earlier by Peter and MJ as they're gazing into one another's eyes expressing everything they want to say.

Harry Osbourne was a punchline in much of the movie. From his goofy smiling in the hospital bed. The still painting of the basket of fruit. Etc...

And they also went too far with mocking 'Bad Ass Peter'. The whole scene where he's walking along the streets pointing at girls, smirking, going into the clothing shop, was too long.

In SP2 they did it correctly. Peter loses his powers and is walking along the streets with 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head' playing. But it only lasts for a minute maybe. Not too short to miss the subtle humor, but not too long to kill the humorous moment.

Anyways, that was my main complaint.
