Overall, not the best work from Sam Raimi (this should have been closer to Darkman in tone - much more compelling that way). The CGI is not quite right, the suspension of disbelief required is a bit too much (what, no one could figure out that something might be up qith the sudden emergence of Spiderman and the kid at school who can suddenly do all sorts of things he couldn't before?), and the last act of the movie is just plastic.
However, it was an enjoyable ride - it isn't fulfilling, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a pleasure. The first act in particular is great - establishment and discovery. Those early scenes provide the greatest charms.
The action's pretty decent, if you can bring yourself to care about two CGI characters duking it out. I think if there were more stunts and less computers, the mechanical feel of some of the set pieces would shed off, and I'd have been more excited by what I saw.
I'd see it again - it was fun! But it doesn't quite deliver on its promise. 7/10.
