Itsy bitsy boring Spider-Man

Rating: 5/10 (6 May 2007)

I must say first and foremost that I am a huge superhero/comic book fan and have been for a long time.
I have only sat through a few of the Marvel-based movies where I was truly bored - The Hulk being the top of my "Most boring" list.
Spider-Man 3 seems to have too many things on its mind and none of them are done all that well.
I guess since this is SM3, we have to have 3 villains...why? None of them are all that interesting, especially Venom, who is one of my all-time favorite Spidey villains. He seems only thrown in at the end to set up a 4th movie.
Mary Jane is just a whiny little annoying girlfriend in this movie. I found her neither sexy nor interesting like in the first two movies. What happened Kirsten? I love almost all your performances, but here I wanted to see less and less of you.
The whole dark Spider-Man thing just didn't work. It was hilariously BAD (and not in the good sense of the word). Peter is supposed to be battling demons within and all he does is go around looking like Chris Gaines and pointing at women on the streets.
For the most part, the movie followed the comic books, but in a very mechanical sort of way. There's really no life in this movie. Very sad.
Venom alone is a very interesting character, and here he just shows up at the end of the movie for about 30 minutes.
Blah is about the word to describe this movie.
Hopefully they'll get it right in SM4.
