This rating is that high not because of the fact it's the first iconic appearance of MJ (but it's iconic, truly iconic). I honestly really liked the story, to my own surprise. The idea of using JJJ's son like this is kinda cool and it was executed well enough. Not a bad way to make Spidey preoccupied with something while Rhino is resting. The bank robbery thing was great too. The suspense was hold long enough and the explanation was reasonable enough. I only wish Spidey could say NO TIME TO EXPLAIN, THERE A BOMB instead of just boasting about how easy it is for him to bend those steel bars...

Finally, full frontal MJ!

While it is cool that we finally see MJ and the bank robbery subplot is fun, I don't think that John Jameson is a compelling villain. I don't have much to say about this one, unfortunately.
