Disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (14 May 2007)

I was really looking forward to the latest installment of the Spiderman series having enjoyed movies 1 & 2. The continuation of the storyline while incorporating the Sandman and Venom had the potential for great visuals, plot development and intrigue. Needless to say with my ranking of 2, I was more than a little disappointed. This was another movie which could not escape the curse of the trilogy ala the Matrix or Star Wars franchises. The movie was all over the place, the relationships were clichéd and by the end we were just praying for it to be over. It was almost as if the Raimi's had decided this was enough of the Spiderman franchise for them so they decided to kill it rather than make another one in the future.
Here's hoping the Pirates and Shrek movie this year can stay true to the formulas that worked and deliver on their expectations.
