Reviews hit the Web last night from publications such as The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times for Spider-Man even though it hasn't had its official opening yet!
A spokesman for the show is now speaking out against the early reviews.
“The PILE-ON by the critics was ridiculous and uncalled for," Rick Miramontez, a spokesman for the show, said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. "Their actions are unprecedented and UNCOOL!”

And part of the problem with the early reviews could be that they're not that good.
Much of the criticism is reportedly directed at the storyline and score, which was composed by U2's Bono and The Edge.
