How tragic for the Spidey franchise

Rating: 1/10 (2 May 2007)

A big fan of the first two movies, I had been looking forward to this one for months. However, after finally watching Spiderman 3 last night at the premiere in Holland, I have been left in a state of utter shock and disbelief. This movie was a complete embarrassment not only to the Spiderman franchise, but to cinema itself. It is truly difficult to point out the worst bit (and simply impossible to find just a tiny decent one), but the one thing that really hurt me all through this piece of celluloid junk, was how much of an insult to fans of the first movies this was. I have rarely felt like walking out on a movie, but last night I had to force myself to stay put. The director and writers obviously think that audiences are brainwashed creatures who will swallow anything as long as it has Spiderman in the title. Not so - I have never heard such consistent booing in a cinema as I did last night. Piece of advice: If you don't want this absolutely horrendous crap to ruin the brilliant Spiderman 1 and 2, DON'T WATCH IT. If you do anyway, be warned - you'll cringe like you've never cringed before.
