I liked this film a little

Rating: 6/10 (13 May 2007)

I thought this film was an OK film, sadly due to its predecessors OK was never going to be enough. I liked what this film tried to do, which was to try to be bigger than ever before, long running time (I feel i get more of my moneys worth and I am quite happy to sit there for three and a half hours). 3 villains and therefore an inevitable 4 way showdown, which cinematographically looks amazing. But if I speak honestly, they've taken on too much and fail to really develop Flint Marco(Sandman) and Eddie Brock's (Venom) characters, we're never absolutely sure what's wrong with Marco's daughter, how have him and his wife become so estranged (bearing in mind that his cause of robbing millions of pounds to cure their daughters apparently very expensive disease isn't that bad news for her). Why does this venom form outer space only give spider-man a suit of evilness (which at first is easy to remove at will and at the second time of asking it clings to him) and Eddie Brock is turned into a big mouthed monster?
The last point I will mention is Spiderman's descent into evil which amusingly is represented by an emo look, it is a very amusing and surreal montage and caused me and those around to laugh and wonder if we were watching a comic epic anymore... But I took it as a bit of lighthearted fun and hope the film makers meant us to laugh,
My recommendation? if you care? Go see it, it'll be alright, but please don't come back complaining it's not great and no it doesn't absolutely follow the comic but there's much worse out there.
