At least Doc Ock's Giant Glowy Fiery Balls weren't, say, him "harnessing the power of burning magnesium", with Peter Parker going "Magnesium? Oh, no! If it gets out of the containment field it will ignite the atmosphere and destroy the planet! I know this immediately due to my in-depth knowledge of Science!".
Basically, Spider-man 2 didn't involve A) Elementary physics nonsense B) People who should know better buying into elementary physics nonsense C) Characters WHO DEAL WITH THIS EVERY DAY IN THEIR JOBS saying "Oh no! Physics nonsense! We're all gonna die!"
As such, it was much, much better than Batman Begins.
That Colin Farrell Movie with Al Pacino about the CIA was the same way. Anyone with the *slightest* knowledge of how computers work knows that the Ice-9 virus is complete bullshit but, of course, we have Farrell's character saying outright in the movie "No, I know it SOUNDS like total bullshit, but trust me, I know computers. It really works, because I know computers!"
Oh, that, and their portrayal of CIA training's primary purpose being that you can't trust the CIA or CIA training. That didn't strike ANY of the characters as counterproductive or jarring? Not even one of them?
