3rd time unlucky.

Rating: 6/10 (5 May 2007)

From seeing the trailer so many weeks ago, this was the movie from the list of summer blockbuster movies (mainly sequels) I was looking forward to seeing.
Spider-man 2 was without doubt the best comic book genre film ever, it had everything. So with Spider-man 3 out and the trailers looking fantastic I pre-booked my ticket and went to see it.
Everything that was good in the second film was bad in the third. It was basically a re-run, going over the same story lines from the first two films.
But my main problem with this film was the special effects. Apart from one or two scenes they were terrible. Where in the second film the CGI effects had depth and felt and looked right in the third film they stand away from the background and neither the foreground or background matched in light and shadow.
Another issue I had with the film was how the film flowed. It was just a collection of scenes sellotaped together, and not very well. Perphaps if it was 30 to 40 minutes shorter, had one bad guy less it would of been a much better film.
