Good and terrible

Rating: 6/10 (26 June 2007)

I'm at this strange confliction. I'll keep it relatively short and sweet.
This is perhaps the most emotionally charged of the three, yet it is the most silly. There are times when the chords of our hearts are pulled on, and times where things are so ridiculous that I just shake my head.
Spidey v Harry v sandman v girlfriend.
I didn't feel so much that the film was overloaded. I *did* feel like certain things did not fit very well. I'll let the viewers decide. I'm still sitting here in this weird limbo because of how I am conflicted. The special effects, OK they *are* much improved over the first two, sandman being the obvious drool factor, only there are only so many times you can see the camera spinning and two people flying around each other in mid air. At least this time I was not aware of the screen issue like I very much was in sp 2.
In a way it's better than the first and second fx wise, but sillier than both put together. Emotionally I was genuinely moved, and feeling any kind of sympathy for a bad guy is a powerful moment in film.
I guess we will wait for the next installment. I really didn't care one way or the other if I saw this movie, though at least now I have I can formulate an opinion.
6 out of ten for fx and emotional impact without the cheese, oh and Bruce Cambell.
