Not the worst movie of all time, but probably biggest let down in Movie History!

Rating: 3/10 (10 May 2007)

I don't know if want I am about to say is a spoiler but I'll be safe and label it that way.
I am a huge fan of comic book movies; especially the first two Spiderman movies and seeing as how Sam Raimi was directing and most of the cast was back including new additions such as Topher Grace, Thomas Hayden Church, and Bryce Dallas Howard, I did not think that this movie could go wrong. The trailers for this movie were also amazing and this was the movie I was looking forward to seeing the most; even more than Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Little did I know that this movie was going to be the biggest disappointment in film history.
There were many things that plagued this movie, but above all the thing that plagued it the most was the corniness. When Peter Parker/Spiderman turned into Black Spiderman the movie went downhill. The writers completely screwed up Black Spiderman. Black Spiderman is meant to be a dark and somewhat evil version of Peter Parker. Instead we get a goofy, loser, asshole version of Peter Parker that was painful to watch. This element alone almost completely ruined the whole movie, however there were a lot more things though that downgraded this movie. The ending I thought was corny as well. A whole crowd watching on with news reporters commentating on the whole thing was very corny I thought. And the cherry on top was when Harry's Butler just came out of nowhere saying that there was no doubt in his mind that his father died from his own hand. Why did the butler never come out and say this before? Many people say the dialog in the Star Wars films are very corny. Okay, I'll admit that the love scenes dialog in Star Wars are kind of corny, but this entire screenplay was down right corny and this screenplay is missing the quality writing that the first two films had.
The CGI which was so good in the previous two movies was really bad in this movie. The first scene where Green Goblin 2 and Spiderman are going at it was painful to watch because the cinematography and special effects were awful. Go back and watch the first 2 Spiderman films and you will see how much more quality there was in the CGI and cinematography. The Sandman effects were also not too good because because they made Sandman become a huge blob of sand. The Sandman is not meant to be this massive creature and he is also not meant to fly.
I also agree with most of the critics out there that they tried too hard to cram in 3 villains. Before watching this movie I did not think that it would be that big of a deal, but after watching this movie I think 3 was too many. Two villains would not have been bad. I think they should have saved Venom for a later installment, but instead they had to cram all three in there and Venom, who is Spiderman's biggest villain in the comics, only got about 15 minutes of screen time. Overall I think Sam Raimi did not care about putting much effort into this film, because he already made millions on the first two and I believe that like the Batman saga, this saga needs a reboot. I gave it 3 stars because there were some entertaining moments, but still this movie in my opinion is the biggest disappointment in film history.
