O.K. Movie if you AREN'T a fan of the comics/cartoon.

Rating: 2/10 (4 May 2007)

**SPOILERS**
I came into this movie with huge expectations especially after the amazing first movie and even though the second one slacked off a little bit, it was still good. I watched it yesterday at a pre-screening with one of my friends whose Dad owns a cinema near here.
The CG was great for the sandman and venom. Spidey actually lacked in some scenes but overall was OK. I thought that some of the scenes in the movie were greatly overdone and would have been better left out, the scene with Tobey strutting down the street doing pelvic thrust every five seconds for instance. These were flaws, but next are the problems I have with the plot and storyline variations
Venom was huge in the comics and cartoon, in the film he was the same size as spidey; even Eddie Brock was a large guy, not the kid from That 70's Show. The suit is supposed to be near impossible to get of, yet Parker is able to do it with ease. Brock seems to have control over the suit i.e. removing the face a lot, and in actuality, the suit is supposed to have control over him. The only time it looked like a good venom is when it was without a host trapped by the metal rods spidey had driven into the ground. Harry's Character seems to have been completely added for theatrics because spider-man never had a goblin-like partner even for just one fight. I know that I am being strict on the movie, but with the first two sticking closely to story lines I was just letdown that is all. If you aren't a huge fan, you will probably enjoy this film. It will still gross huge, and will probably have a fourth installment. I just hope that the fourth is less predictable and focuses more on the action and doesn't have any stupid dance sequences in random places in the film.
