Bottom of the well - time to end the series

Rating: 4/10 (5 May 2007)

Spider-Man is back. This time he's about to marry his girlfriend, and also about to find one of his worst enemies. Wait? Is this new? It sounds so much like the story of the first film, and the one of the second film. Anyway, there we have it. Spider-Man comes to tangle with yet another enemy, in a tale that is yet much the same as the others.
In the first part of the film I was slightly irritated by the characters and the way they got completely pulled out of context by the ridiculous way they were played. Then I more or less accepted that that was the shallow way the series was written in the first place and that's where it got slightly better. But only slightly. Next part was eye-candy. Special effects to the max, albeit bad special effects. For a film of this caliber and budget I was expecting much better. Then comes the continuation of the story and I can't say that was entirely appealing either. To be brutally honest, I found it an insult toward the comic series and an insult to the previous two films.
All in all, it was a film I didn't expect much from, but one that still managed to give me even less. Complete and utter waste of tape.
4 out of 10 spiders tangled in their own web of shallowness.
