Too Many Subplots?

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2007)

I was wary of seeing Spiderman 3 after reading the reviews in newspapers and on IMDb; however, the movie was as good as the first two. I think that there are many who don't realize the amount of Spiderman's plot that actually revolves around Peter Parker (in the comic). Like it or not, if you watch or read Spiderman, you will be spending a lot of time watching the mediocre life of a lovable nerd.
The movie had three villains and each villain had a story behind him. Some of the stories were well thought-out and well-acted. Some of the stories were simply thrown together without much thought. The special effects were strong and the acting, for the most part, was strong as well. The most disturbing personality in the movie is that of Mary Jane (Parker's girlf). As a stage actress, she spends so much time second guessing herself that she destroys her relationship with Parker.
Bugle editor J.J. Jameson is especially funny in this third installment of the Spiderman series. Enjoy!
