Ditto. Its one of the most moving films I've ever seen. I'm not sure I even completely understand why. But I can think of no better film to have made its debut on July 4th weekend. It shouts in a loud silent voice about the character of America...and Americans.

Check out Lou Luminicks review in the NY post for the answer. In short he said: The producers are showing a great faith in the attention spans of movie-goers in that there is a lot of dialog. They got the guy who wrote "Ordinary People" to write Spiderman II. Think about that for a minute. The guy who wrote Ordinary People to write an FX wet dream like Spidey II
Dialog, at least since Speilberg, is the biggest sin a writer can make--as far as the copycats in H'wood understand. Speilbergs SUBJECTS don't require much of it BUT what the copycats don't notice is that whenever he needs it it is there.
Any storyteller WILL need it to manipulate an audience in the fullest possible way but for some reason (well, I know the reason: it's because so many in the industry are no talents who don't know WHY certain tools are used at any given time)"Dialog" has become out of genere. You know: for stage or books etc, not a visual thing like Film.
