Could have been so much better

Rating: 5/10 (9 May 2007)

OK, I waited a few days after seeing this movie to make my comments.
I thought it was going to be the best Spiderman movie based on the trailers. Especially, with the 8.1 rating here on IMDb (I see it has dropped significantly since). I was wrong. It reminded me a little bit (no quite as bad) as the piece of crap movie called Batman and Robin (or Xmen 3). There were just too many villains and the plot and story suffered.
Here are some of the things that bugged me.
1. The Sandman was able to fly
2. Venom did not work for me He was only in the movie for few minutes, then he dies, leaving no possible way for his return.
a. I found it retarded that the suit and Brock were completely incinerated when the bomb went off.
b. They kept showing Topher Grace's face popping out of the Venom's suit.
3. Harry suddenly has a scar on his face (I assume that the explosion happened a long time prior to the scene where we see him again). Maybe they could have did a little bit more with Venom's character during those weeks or months.
4. Story just didn't flow right.
5. I could can less about MJ's character, and I actually hoped that Spidey would go for Gwen Stacy (after all, he did in the comics).
6. Stupid ending...I actually waited till all the credits were over expecting something to help out. Of course, I was disappointed.
7. Action sequences were very hard to swallow, even with super powers. Especially the scenes where Harry is chasing Peter around on his Air board.
I think they should have just introduced Venom, and saved him for an entirely separate movie. Whoever decided that he needs to die with so little screen time, must have consulted with George Lucas (i.e. Darth Maul)
This movie seemed to be made to entertain smaller children. I found it somewhat entertaining at times, and that is the reason I give it a 5. Overall, I was rather disappointed, and I felt it is by far the weakest of the three Spiderman movies.
