Franco Only Bright Spot In Weak End To Franchise

Rating: 6/10 (23 February 2015)

Over long, bloated and filled with cringe worthy moments and performances (yes I'm talking to you Toby Maguire and Topher Grace) "Spiderman 3" is a massive drop in quality from the first two.
Plot In A Paragraph: A black entity from another world bonds with Peter Parker (Toby Maguire) and he starts to bring out the darker side to Parker's personality, which coincided with him having to battle his former best friend Harry Osborne (Janes Franco) who has transformed in to The New Green Goblin, a new villain with a link to Parker's past in Sandman and a rival photographer (Topher Grace) at The Daily Bugle.
The saying "too many cooks spoil the broth" comes to mind, as too many villains spoil the movie. The early battle over the City of New York between Peter Parker and Harry Osborne was fun and entertaining But the CGI was suspect at times.
Maguire, seems so settled in his role, he seems to have stopped trying to act, and the darker Parker was awful to watch. Kristen Dunst returns as the damsel in distress again, but this time her character is unbelievably annoying. Franco steals every scene he is in with either of them. His tortured character is much more interesting, as his is performance. JK Simmons is as reliable as always, as is Rosemary Harris.
The action scenes are well shot, but two love triangles slows things down to a snail's pace in between the action set pieces
