Number three lets us down again.

Rating: 6/10 (3 November 2007)

After the first two Spiderman movies the expectation for part 3 was high. When Sam Raimi announces that Venom would be one of the villains,expectation ran wild. The movie could never deliver. Now this is still a good movie, the acting is excellent and the direction and effects are handled with aplomb. Unfortunately these ingredients don't add up to a satisfying meal. Venom is wasted as a villain and Sandman's motivations never quite fit the levels he goes to. But the biggest disappointment is the New Goblin. After the nail biting conclusion to Spiderman 2 where Harry breaks the mirror and uncovers his legacy I was expecting Harry to be the new great villain, he isn't and the conclusion to his story arc smacks of an ending contract. It's a good movie, it's not a great one.
