Spider-Man 3 is a seriously disappointing mess:(

Rating: 3/10 (11 May 2007)

I love Raimi's films, but he seriously laid an egg with this one. I heard rumors he had Venom shoved down his throat, and if that's true -- boy, it shows! The character is even more lame and shallow than he is in the comics (if such a thing is possible).
Spider-Man 3 tries so hard to fit all these different personalities in that nothing is given a chance to develop, and the final product is nothing but a lifeless action film along the lines of X-Men 3.
While Thomas Haden Church does a fantastic Sandman, he is wasted on an infantile script that not only violates his and Spider-Man's origin, but also is responsible for one of the glaring plot holes in the movie.
Mary Jane is reduced to a jealous, useless persona, while Aunt May walks in and out of the film spouting platitudes with no substance.
Also, there are at least two scenes that are absolutely cringe-worthy and should have been left on the cutting room floor, or never included in this awful script from the start! Lastly, the costume. While in the comics it was very stylish with its large white spider design -- the movie design is merely the regular costume dunked in black dye and is amazingly boring to look at.
I'm so tired of comic films wasting their potential on awful third installments because the viewing public is so programmed to automatically like this kind of garbage. So, while this isn't the worst movie of all time by a long shot, its inexcusable lack of quality following two of the greatest comic films ever in Spider-Man 1 & 2 earns part 3 a rating of... 3.
