Not sure this if this movie is for true Spiderman Fans

Rating: Null/10 (8 May 2007)

I was expecting a bit more since the second movie and was hoping the makers learned from it. I was disappointed. I don't think it was necessary to spend so much time on the Peter/MJ relationship and we were already given this treatment in the previous two films, this time however it was laid on a bit thick. The singing and dancing was a bit vaudeville, and you could see on the screen Toby Maguire was not comfortable doing it and I couldn't figure out the point to it. I got the impression the makers ran out of ideas and threw it in for filler. The Action sequences and villains were excellent although sparse, this was born out by my seven year old constantly fidgeting and only concentrating when Spiderman turned up. Outside he said it was just "ok" and asked why Spiderman wasn't in it so much..... Venom, like in the comic had much more potential and did not come across as ruthless as he should have, and the relationship with Spiderman would have been more positive instead of the Peter/MJ "Dynasty" saga. I hope, if they follow the comic lines, that when Venom returns he gets more airplay. Again the Sandman wasn't fully appreciated, and was used as filler it seems. The Audience doesn't get a chance to sympathise with the character as much as they could have. This movie was aimed at the female audience I think , and in my opinion does not impress or satisfy Spiderman Fans of the comic.
