You don't impress every time you swing

Rating: 6/10 (24 May 2007)

If the Spiderman series is to continuously rake in profits, it must try to emulate movies like Harry Potter, where the character is developed with each installment.
This is the main thorn in the latest edition of Spiderman, in which we learn nothing new about Peter Parker except that he can be bad (but only if an alien invades his body). Mary Jane continues all the expressions that come under 'wishful thinking' and 'frustration'.
The Villains are all good guys-turned evil. I wonder why the producers of Spiderman have forsaken really evil villains. It is easy to see the pattern: Spiderman gets invaded by an alien - he becomes bad - then becomes good. The Sandman gets turned into sand - he becomes bad - then becomes good. The Green Goblin still gets haunted by this father - he is bad - but then gets bumped in the head and turns good. Brock just happens to turn bad, and gets unlucky.
And there is only so much swinging you can take. After a while, like a roller coaster ride, it loses its charm. In my opinion, the worst in the series so far.
