Like all EPIC SUMMER BLOCKBUSTERS, it is way too long. (Guess what, the same can be said for POTC 3 - shocking!)
The Sandman should have been erased from the movie altogether. No knocks on Thomas Haden Church, but the storyline felt way too forced and didn't really add much other than a large f/x budget and some somewhat groovy visuals. Besides, both of the other "villains" are more interesting.
Kristen Dunst is practically relegated to a Padme-in-Revenge of the Sith-like role. She's whiny, looks like crap, and boring.
Yea, Peter does his Saturday Night Fever dance, and it is hideous - it's obvious Raimi was trying to replicate the "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" scene from numero dos. Meh.
