first one was crap. Second one, crappier, I still am counfounded by the shameless monkey clapping that ensued when that one came out. at this point I don't know if I will be seeing the third one, at least until it comes to the beer theater I work at where a couple of pints might increase the level of enjoyment, but somehow I doubt that.

I think a lot of my problem with the Spiderman series comes from the style, direction and overall asethetic approach to the story. The cartoony approach just feels very bland and uninteresting. I find myself much more attacted the visual design and presentation of Chris Nolan's Batman Begin's and can't wait to see what is in store for the The Dark Night Returns.
