a major disappointment...

Rating: 4/10 (16 May 2007)

I went into the theater on opening night with high hopes for Spider-Man 3. I bought tickets online a week early and showed up for seating 2 hours early. Little did i know that my endeavors would be literally a waste of energy, money, and time....
The acting in the movie was probably my biggest complaint. Mainly from Toby McGuire. Throughout the whole movie i wanted Spider-Man to get his ass kicked (which wasn't too hard considering they made no use of the "spidey sense").... not only because of how much of a dick he was being (especially when he hit MJ), but because of the horrid acting on Toby's behalf. He blows at being bad... I was laughing throughout most of the show not because it was supposed to be humorous, but because of the mix of cheesy lines and ridiculous plot. Topher Grace was by far the best actor in the film... but he had to many cheesy lines himself. Throughout the entire gross display of Spidey trying desperately hard to be suave (which he failed miserably on), i felt the urge to walk out of the theater! I stayed in hopes it would get better, but unfortunately it did not.
The only reason i give this movie a 4 out of 10 is because of the visual effects. You cant cram that much into one movie and expect it to be good!
