It's not so much that I hate it, so much as I don't feel like it's living up to its potential. Completely setting aside the plot device (the tachyon thing had really poor timing for me, since I had just seen Land of the Lost), there's so many places that seem horribly neglected to me. Steve's bouncing back and forth through time, but they haven't really done anything with it--no revelations about his past, no character development, no real plot. He just seems to be living a flashback episode. The Bucky angle of the plot has some pretty good merit, but it seems to have happened mainly to give Sharon a reason to turn herself over to the Green Goblin, and while I know Sharon is still shaken from being brainwashed and held captive, that's sort of a wallbanger to me. But other than Bucky, Natasha and a few pages with Reed and Namor, most of the heroes seem to be sitting around talking.
I do like what's going on with the villains. For me, they're the best part so far. That much, at least, flows very naturally. It's believable, and pretty much drives the actual plot. But the villain scenes are such a small part of it in terms of page count that it's hard for me to work up enthusiasm based just on that.
It's pretty much a YMMV thing, but mostly, I just wish they'd used those opportunities that I keep seeing left to dangle.
