Neither do I. I think it was just the fact that it was, at that point, one of the most hyped movies of the generation. When it finally came out, it was just an average superhero flick. People were expecting the best ever. Not to mention they did totally **** up Venom..
I own the film and still watch it from time to time. Spider-Man 2 was the best with Spider-Man 1 being just a notch below. I'd put the third one at a couple notches below those two. |

Lots of reasons:
It felt thrown together. Director didn't have his heart in it. It went too far in extreme directions. Too many new characters. Terrible film representation of Venom. "Dark" Peter Parker Lack of substance. Too many Raimi family members w/ speaking roles. Melodrama. Lack of vision and consistency. Mediocre acting. Poor storytelling. Spider-Man 2 really raised the bar/hard to meet expectations. Those are just off the top of my head. |

This movie looks just terrible.
I guess if you're just a fan of movies it might look neat. If you actually grew up a spider-man fan as a kid, it's kinda looks like what Speilburg and lucas did to Indiana Jones. |

I will admit that this looks better than Spiderman 3 but thats not saying much imo. I'm not against a new Spiderman film but not another origin film cause its just redundant imo. |

The only reason this film was made was so Sony could retain the rights to Spidey and they wouldn't revert back to Marvel.

And that stupid ass dance scene. Sandman should have been the secondary villian with Venom as the primary. |

So, yes, while I agree with that I'm a little burnt out on origin stories, I am open minded as well. I expect it'll be something very different. |

Probably a dumb question but what is that red thing that Spider-Man turns on his forearm?

So this one is taking a different approach? The movies with McGuire had the webbing coming out of his hands. Sorry I'm not familiar with the comics.

2 different lines of Spidey comics. One where it was a biological reaction from his wrist. And another where he made web shooting devices attached to his wrist.
