Spiderman 3 - A slight disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (19 November 2007)

I liked the first one, I loved No.2, so I thought I had to give No.3 a go. Even during the first few reels I knew I had made the wrong choice. First of all I thought the Harry Osborn/ Spiderman storyline had potential but they underused it. I mean why bother introducing another villain when you could have Harry Osborn taking revenge on Spiderman.
I am not sure if I am the only one but I felt that Spiderman 3 was not that well thought out. At first Peter Parker turned evil when that "thing" (sorry don't know what else to call it) took over his body and then during the last few reels the "thing" latches onto someone else. As a result of that none of the villains were that terrifying because they didn't have that much screen time, which is a huge drawback. Even the emotional moments, which worked for Spiderman 2 looked corny in No.3.
This movie however doesn't seem that bad when you consider the fact that when it came to the third sequel, Superman 3 and Batman were considerably weaker compared to the first two. One bad sequel isn't enough to deter me from watching any future sequels.
