My problem with the Spider-Man movie is that for every good thing they do (battle scenes, comic book inside crap) they ruin it with a ridiculously bad thing (the mask being off in front of people on the subway, the jesus christ pose). Well that and the love story's dialogue is either A) as bad as one of the Star Wars prequels or B) as good as a porno's. Did you forget about that? I mean I've been waiting at the door forever". Who in the hell says that?
Cheesy monologuing about love is a staple of the comics world. Written and by geeks who know nothing about romance. It's epic, and it made my wife cry. So, it's cool by me

So you are saying that chessey dialogue is ok right there because they set out to make a movie with cheesy dialogue about love? I'm sorry, but that doesn't make it ok. You wouldn't accept it in a non-comic book movie, so why in the heck would you accept it in a real movie? The whole "special concideration because it is a comic book movie" taints the movie from the get go, and also taints your entire rating of it.
I don't know, I see your point about the mask and all, but the fact is, Spider-Man would never lose his mask, I've seen him in old issues of Web of Spider-Man lose his mask only to create one out of webs, or a t-shirt or anything else lying around.
The cross imagery doesn't bother me as a christian, it bothers me the same way any intentional iconagraphy does, as in they work so hard at making a cool image, that they forget that those things come accidentally. Bogie smoking in Casablanca wasn't intentional

A) The cheesy dialogue. I don't agree that it is. Putting it in writing and reading it on the screen, doesn't work. But that scene, when Mary Jane says she has been waiting at the door forever, was great. Kirsten Dunst is gorgeous, her line is right and she delivers it, and more importantly, she carries it
