This is the same for Spider-Man 2. If you go to the theater expecting Titanic or Lord of the Rings, you're gonna get disappointed. This is Spider-Man. It's a comic book movie. It's the absolute best comic book movie ever made.
Quite correct, Halx. Don't expect fucking Citizen Kane here people. This is a comic book movie, and if you've NEVER read or seen a comic book, you're gonna just not get the story-telling devices that Raimi and company use. It's a good mix for those who aren't entirely familiar with the series, and comic-book-like enough to satisfy the freaks who've been with the comics since issue 1.
