In the New York Times Ben Brantley writes:

Directed by Julie Taymor, who wrote the show’s book with Glen Berger, and featuring songs by U2’s Bono and the Edge, “Spider-Man” is not only the most expensive musical ever to hit Broadway; it may also rank among the worst.

Ouch! But what a satisfying ouch. And especially because the rest of the review leads methodically up to this. A feast of Schadenfreude.
