Spider-criticism
I saw the new Spiderman movie this weekend, and it was good. But not great. The action sequences thrilled, the story and characters were (mostly) engaging, but I couldn't help leaving the theater thinking, "Wow, that was a long movie. Too long." Personally, I think you could have taken Sandman completely out of the film and been left with a much tighter, much more engaging whole. Sure, he made for some nice eye candy, but aside from that, the guy just really didn't have much to do. Supposedly he has a sick daughter, but aside from a short sob story scene early on, she might as well not exist. He doesn't have any real relationship to Peter, either - he's just some random schmo.
Oh, and did seeing Peter get all arrogant make anyone else think of this?
