7.1 How the hell?

I really really wanted to like this film, and I was willing to accept some major flaws, after all it is spidey. I accepted it had a hard act to follow after the excellent Sam Raimi films (Excluding 3) and that they had to try other characters. I also accept that everyone is different, but after the dust has settled, usually the ratings start to even out and you get a better gauge. But 7.1 is a joke, I accepted everything in the film UNTIL the crane scene, it was this that made me read up about jumping the shark and its meaning. After that scene I then reassessed everything I had seen and realised that it was average at very best.

You tell 'im Im coming!

I see nothing wrong with the crane scene. It showed New Yorkers backing Spidey (I guess you could say it copied the Raimi original but whatever) and helping him with a clear path to the Oscorp tower. This isn't the Raimi films where spidey could just shoot a web straight up at a cloud and swing.

How is the crane scene any different than the scene from the scene near the end of Spider-Man 1 where all the people start throwing stuff at Green Goblin to save Spider-Man?
