plot overcrowded

Rating: 5/10 (4 May 2007)

"Spiderman 3" manages to entertain the viewers for the lengthy runtime but finally fails to achieve a real depth. There is plenty of action and special effects as well are terrific (and of course, considering the budget) but the attempt to handle subjects like power, forgiveness, betrayals and so on made the result oversentimental and too mawkish, so that a fourth installment would be unnecessary in my opinion, producing a kind of idiosyncrasy against actors and director too.. Tobey Maguire is still suitable for the characters and gets to inject the dose of noise that Parker needed after the first two outings. Nevertheless I think that these plot detours along with the excessive dramatization of love and trust have finally resulted in something a bit tiresome
