Does a lot of heavy lifting in the first 40 minutes setting up the backstory and introducing all characters...
Then the introduction of the villain arrives and it plummets into a mess of poor CGI, bad casting, and comic book foolishness.
The MJ / Parker romance has little to no chemistry and is illogical in how it develops. But the upside down kiss is iconic. (and those metal steps behind them are the Purple Rain album cover steps FYI!)
In a world before Iron Man, this is okay. It's no Superman with Christopher Reeve, it's more like a full length film of an episode of Lois & Clark or something similar.
