Along with a much bigger budget. And each action scene lasted about 20 seconds with the exception of the last battle.
You can't be talking about SM3 right? Or you are and you are exagerating just so you can get me to type up all their requisite timings from dvd right? lol, well, I'm not going to go that far, but i will give estimates....
the 1st Harry vs Peter battle, this runs for about 6-7 mins
The Crane job - this one is about 20 secs, well, slightly more, but this is what you are talking about.
1st Spidey vs Sandman if you take this sequence as starting from when Sandman fights the cops, that is a good 5-6 mins, or more.
2nd Spidey vs Sandman - again, about 5mins
2nd Harry vs Pete - about 5-6-mins
and the final battle that goes on for ages.
With the exception of the Crane job, they are all good long healthy fight/action sequences.
