Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2007)

Two words can sum up this movie: ponderous and tedious. The plot wandered around for all 2.5+ hours, finally ending up no where in particular and collapsing under its own weight. The villains and heroes changed roles about every 10 mins, and when the characters eventually ran out of things to do, the movie just... well, ended. Finally. Thankfully. It's not that it was actually bad, just incredibly boring. The effects were good but, as we saw in Spiderman 3, spectacular effects don't carry a dull movie.
If you're hoping this last film manages to recapture the charm of the first, I'm sorry. Stay home, rent it, have your friends tell you about it, but please don't encourage Hollywood to churn out more of this crap by actually going to see it. I feel like I just supported something worthless.
