NOKW - Spider-Man 2

Here comes the next chapter in our "I'm Okay With, I'm Not Okay With" series where I point out things in a movie I can tolerate and then one thing I just couldn't (if you want, click here for all of the past posts):

Movie:  Spider-Man 2

Basic Plot:  The second installment of the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man series where he fights stuff and saves people, blah blah blah.

I'm Okay With:  The fact that nobody has connected the dots between Peter Parker disappearing and a guy of the same size in a spider-themed suit showing up to save the day.  The fact that nobody at the Daily Bugle has figured out that Peter Parker, the only guy who seems to be able to take pictures of Spider-Man, just might be Spider-Man.  The fact that J. Jonah Jameson's hatred for Spider-Man really is unwarranted.  The fact that Peter still sells his pictures to the one newspaper that seems to hate him.  The fact that every time that Doc Ock's mechanical arms are all doing something, they should be ripped off of his back or at least he should fall over with all that weight being on his back.  The fact that Harry Osbourne is mad that Spider-Man killed his dad even though his dad was a murdering super-villain.  The fact that Spider-Man can just lose his powers due to stress.  The fact that I really don't think Spider-Man is strong enough to stop a speeding train.

I'm Not Okay With:  The fact that everything about Doctor Octavius's first fusion experiment was possibly the worst idea ever for a scientist of his pedigree.  Let's start with the experiment itself.  He was attempting to create an energy source that would equal the output of the sun and he had to have his mechanical arms installed so that he could contain the experiment because if it went awry, Boom!  With that out of the way, let's talk about where he did his experiment.  Right in the middle of New York City.  So, if it went Boom!, millions of people would instantly be vaporized.  And not only that, he conducted his experiment not in a lab with some sort of safeguard to hope to contain a blast, but in his apartment.  What was he thinking?  And last, his experiment was attended by dozens of important people just a few yards away.  One of those people was Spider-Man who is supposedly super smart and even he didn't point out that the location of this extremely dangerous en devour was a terrible idea.  So, this "genius" was conducting an experiment that could result in a massive explosion killing millions in his apartment which was packed full of people who probably should have told him how dumb this idea truly was.  I am not okay with that.

"He may be kind of dumb for a smart guy, but I do like his style."
