2 Much 2 Handle For Spidey

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2007)

When Spiderman came out i watched it when it was released on DVD considering it would be a movie for kids i didn't bothering going to watch it on big screen, but boy i was wrong. The day i watched it, i regret for not watching it on BIG screen. Then came Spiderman 2, but for some reason i couldn't watch it in theater and had to wait for it to come on DVD, although i got it free on UMD when i purchased my PSP. Beside Spiderman 3, my fav one is Spiderman I because it was absolutely fantastic, the second one was good but doc has never been my fav villain and perhaps thats why spidey 2 was not as my fav as the first one.
Spider-Man 3 was the first spidey flick that pushed me out of my couch and put me in front of wide screen between hundreds of spider-man fans to enjoy it. I was so excited to see this black spidey flick and must say i enjoyed it and now it has been in my fav spidey movies list. The goods you all know, but bad is what i will talk about.
The movie itself is more than 2 hrs long, but even that time is not enough for what is going on in the movie. The movie had too much going on, Peter-Mary Jane love, then Mary Jane failure in her career, then Harry revenge as new Spidey black outfit story follows along with a man suspected in the killing of uncle Ben, named Fint Marko AKA Sand-Man and at last the Venom.
Don't know why but this movie could have been great with just Sand-man alone as a single villain, or maybe with Harry Osborne. Sand Man is a great character which need a lot of character development which this movie definitely lacks, not just for Sandman but for all, even Venom. The makers could have had only Venom in the third installment of this spidey flick as well if they wanted to save Sand Man for future spider man movies but looks like they wanted it all at once like it was end of the world. Unfortunately it didn't quite well worked. Before you even enjoy Sand Man, Harry comes, then the love story, and after that comes black spidey and at the end Venom. Before you enjoy one character, another comes and eventually movie ends. I loved both Sand Man and Venom but due to lack of time both didn't get enough screen time. In fact Venom comes in the last 15 min of Movie, so character development was missing on a massive scale.
The visual effects are awesome, especially that of sand man and venom. Harry had some nice gadget to show off too.
Overall, even though too much was cramed into one movie, the third spider man flick did not disappoint me and can say is one of my fav in the series. I hope makers will not put too much in the next spidey flick.
