If I understand correctly, it was not Raimi's choice to stuff so many characters into SM3, which is a large part of what caused it to be such a mess, and I don't think the studio learned from their mistake when they were planning SM4. It's a shame that we'll never see a worthy continuation of the first two movies.Like others, I find this incredibly annoying. The mask is there for a reason. It's supposed to define the superhero's persona. If it came off one time to punctuate a dramatic moment it would be okay, but repeatedly it's really grating. It was even worse when Venom retracted the black goo covering his face to talk.When does the movie Batman take his mask off? When he's in the batcave. To be fair, his mouth is visible but his eyes (very important for nonvisual communication) are mostly concealed. Spider-Man is meant to wear that mask, not just to protect his identity but to create an intimidatingly faceless foe, while at the same time lending a universality to his heroism in the eyes of the masses (it could be a biracial hispanic/black kid under there, and no one would know the difference). So......agreed.</blockquote>
