Good Spidey

Rating: 7/10 (13 May 2007)

I was worried about this third chapter. After and exciting initiator (with an unforgettable kiss) and a magnificent second installment, the chance to see a total crap and a drain on one's resources was really plausible. And, on the contrary, it isn't so: there are many flaws, but the film is very agreeable. The figures of Eddie Brock, funny swine, and of Gwen Stacy, a bit silly goose and rival of the mythic Mary Jane, are only touched (but they'd deserve a considerable investigation), whereas Flint Marko/Sandman is rather unlikely. Peter Parker's dark side is not so dark, and the risk to have an headache after the screening is quite high. But sometimes it's therapeutic dreaming in the dark of a movie theater with a popcorn bowl by the hands: cinema is also this.
