... as was Die Another Day. OTOH, the Mothman Prophecies was MUCH better than I'd been led to believe, Changing Lanes is an intriguing study in what can go wrong when civility is replaced by uncompromising rage, Knockaround Guys is an interesting street-smart movie with some very tense moments (i.e., I'm a sucker for "fish out of water" flicks), Brotherhood of the Wolf isn't exactly a "Hollywood film" (i.e., it's French), The Sum of All Fears is one of the best takes on a Tom Clancy novel since The Hunt for Red October (i.e., I hate to say it, but Ben Affleck was almost as good as Alec Baldwin as Jack Ryan) and last but far from least, Spiderman is one of the best friggin' movies that came out last year (i.e., if one can look past the character's comic book origins it's much easier to see the conflicted personality of Peter Parker; Tobe Maguire managed to nail this character and raised the level of the film from hocum to rousing entertainment with a genuine feeling of pathos).
