And I thought Catwoman was bad!!

Rating: 1/10 (5 May 2007)

Catwoman may be a terrible movie ,but it is God compared to this load of crap...
Let's get this straight, there are two things fundamentally wrong with this film: A shallow plot that is devoid of all logic and the fact that they tried to cram about two hundred comic books into one movie.
For those of you who haven't seen Spiderman 3, it would be a good idea to park your brain at the door before stepping inside the theater. A lot of things simply make no sense and feel forced in order to get their point across. For example, I thought that Peter Parker and Mary Jane had already tied the knot given the way Spiderman 2 ended- at least it was implied that way. MJ leaves Harry standing at the altar in order to be with the man she truly loved - Peter- the dweeb she kept putting down until she realized it was him who was her Knight in Shining Armor all this time. But no, one innocent kiss on stage to another woman, causes MJ to throw a fit and suddenly they no longer love each other. Hello? Does that sound credible folks? Apparently Mary Jane feels very insecure, as him saving her LIFE twice in the previous films doesn't count as being loyal. Other examples of things not making sense, include Harry choosing to help Spiderman defeat Venom and Sandman after Peter nearly beat him to the brink of death. He threw a grenade at him that exploded one inch away from his face, permanently scarring him. Now for some reason he is still alive and easily forgives Pete, after his butler tells him that his father died by his own hand. Really? How did he figure that out? And if the old man figured it out then, why is he telling Harry now? Why wait until he starts killing people? Some people have tried to explain that the serum that Harry drank kept him alive, but if his father could easily die with two blades piercing his stomach, don't you think a grenade would have blown Harry's head to bits?
The second problem, as I mentioned before is the problem of cramming too many comic books into one movie. A lot of things simply feel under developed and rushed. In the comic book, Peter Parker gets under Eddie Brock's skin a number of times, breaking him to a point where he can't take it anymore, forcing him to seek revenge with the aid of the suit. In this movie all Peter has to do is prove that Eddie's photograph if Spiderman is a fake and apparently Eddie was dumb enough to bring the evidence along with him and lay it out on the table for Peter to find. Eddie loses his job and loses everything in a minute. They also tried with little success to make the Sandman a very tragic character, almost every time you seem him he is looking at a picture of his daughter and shedding tears. But it is never explained what his daughter is sick from nor why it costs all millions of dollars to cure her. Perhaps, it would be better to force a surgeon to perform surgery on her instead.
Finally, there is a lot of cheesy romance in this film that forces Peter and everyone else to cry every 10 minutes. The scene with Peter and Mary Jane crying at the bridge sent everyone in the theater roaring with laughter. It's so bad and felt so rushed that you have to see it to believe it.
So was there anything good about this film? Well, sure, the cameo by Bruce Campbell. He was hilarious. Then again, they had to write a good part for him, otherwise he'd probably sue.
