Not to mention, it should've warned him when Harry swooped down and yanked him off his scooter earlier in the movie... And I seem to recall another instance of it not working when it should have, but I don't recall the circumstances.
I agree with pretty much everything else you said, Stormer, and while Harry's amnesia was true to the comics, it just seemed an unnecessary complication to the already over-stuffed plot.
And regarding the mask thing-- I, too, realize that it's so the actors can emote, but it still bothers me. He doesn't have to emote in a fight, he just has to fight!
And finally-- Yeah, Spidey's not very funny in these movies. I recall shortly after the first movie came out, comic book writer Christopher Priest posted an essay on that very subject. He said that when you're watching a Spider-Man movie, and when Spidey is in costume and fighting, he should be talking non-stop, and the audience should be rolling in the aisles with laughter at what he's saying. I agree wholeheartedly with that sentiment, and it's unfortunate that Sam Raimi doesn't. In all three movies, I only recall Spidey making one joke-- That being in #2, when Doc Ock throws a bad of money at him, and he swats it back, exclaiming "Here's your change!" I recall cracking up at that in the theater, and wishing he'd have more such lines.
But as I said, even with all these complaints, I liked the movie! Don't get me wrong.
