ok, i will be the one to go against the grain...just saw the movie, and yes the special effects were spectacular, but wtf did you expect with today's movie- making technology? the movie itself was good, but i wouldn't care to go watch it again. i'm sure the kiddies off on summer vacation will make this one of the highest grossing films in history. on a side note, the spiderman ride at islands of adventure is the BEST ride i have eva been on.
