A Trilogy's bad end

Rating: 2/10 (1 November 2007)

Having seen the previous Spider-man movies and considered them to be the strongest of the Superhero genre, it was a huge disappointment when the third in the trilogy failed in so many respects - despite the potential for so much more. Out of the many problems the fact that there were too many bad guys aching for screen-time meant that there was no clear story arc for any character, despite some powerful performances. Also, the scenes when 'Spidey goes bad' leave the audience feeling that they've just cringed through an episode of Mr. Bean as opposed to a serious metamorphosis by a malevolent alien.
A disappointing experience but due to the success at the box office a fourth film could be likely, hopefully they will iron out the weak spots and bring our friendly-neighbourhood Spider-man back to full strength.
