Not the Best movie of the Season

Rating: 3/10 (6 May 2007)

Spiderman movies have done really well. Spiderman 1 did very well, Spiderman 2 was somewhat better. And with this momentum, I was expecting an even better movie that Spiderman 2. To a certain degree I was not disappointed. There is a great film in Spiderman 3...the only problem is that I had to search for it.
First of all, I feel like the length of the film should have been trimmed down to like, an hour and forty minutes. This movie is 2 hours and ten minutes. Way to long!!! Although throughout the film, my attention was held...I felt like someone's story was neglected. Spiderman's arrogant selfishness hogged the story line. You weren't truly given a chance to see the different sides of the villains story. There were small scenes involving the villains. The other scenes were long, dragged out Peter Parker going Emo scenes...(AKA, Dancing in a suit in front of Store...Pointless) Sure, we see how Venom has changed him...but I felt like the editors and the Director were given permission to make the film two hours long, just because it was another spider-man film.
Not only was the movie too long, the casting was not at it's best. In spider-man two, the cast was AMAZING!!! Who plays Venom in Spiderman 3? A stoner from the 70's. Great choice. I had a hard time believing his character at ALL.
But no all of the movie is Bad. There are actually some good qualities to it. The film was decent. I just think it was to long. I'm sure that the movie out now would have made a GREAT Directors Cut DVD, but I'd hate to see the Directors Cut of THIS movie! There were also some hilarious scenes in the movie. The story was great...to a degree. And Sandman's character was flawless. I love his story and what he was fighting for. I loved the fact that he didn't kill Ben Parker on Purpose, and I love how Spiderman Matures by forgiving him for what he did, just like how Harry forgave Peter.
But the Best thing about this film is Harry Dying Hands DOWN!!! When Harry says, "My Best Friends, I'd die for them..." and he ends up Sacrificing himself to save Peter...Excellent. His death was perfect.
On that note, I gave the film 6-10. It's definitely could have been better, and I'm sure as soon as the Spiderman fan base STOPS seeing the film, it will easily be replaced by the Next Summer Blockbuster.
