Pleasantly surprised

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2007)

Well, I'm one of the few Spiderman fans who doesn't really like Venom. Add in the fact that Thomas Haden Church was playing Sandman (he'll always be Lowell from "Wings" to me), and I was not looking forward to "Spiderman 3". But my son desperately wanted to see it, so with much trepidation I went.
But what a wonderful surprise the movie was! Sam Raimi has done it again. He dared to buck the current trend of "wall-to-wall, non-stop action" that today's Attention-Deficit-Disorder generation demands. The pace of the movie allowed the plot to unfold slowly, and we even had >gasp!< character development! All in all, I highly recommend "Spidey 3".
