Different than the first two... not necessarily in a bad way

Rating: 7/10 (4 September 2010)

First of all I'd like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It had more action than the first two, more suspense (considering they most likely won't make a fourth movie I was honestly fearful for Peter's life through out the duration of the movie) and it was much darker than the first two. The villains were tougher, all the relationships were more complex... MAN was this a good movie!
Yes, this could've been better. Any movie has room to improve. Some of the injuries Peter manages to survive seem a little too far-fetched, even for a super-hero. He walks away from some of these fights with a few scratches on his arms maybe and that's it! It might have been better if the film-makers had hurt him a little more considering how many women simply LOVE Tobey Maguire.
As with the previous Spidey movie, the CGI improved. It needs to if you're going to have a guy made of sand and a creepy poisonous alien thing trying to kill Peter all while the Green Goblin's floating around. Sandman was VERY cool. Venom... not so much but seeing that he's a popular villain he was in his proper place.
Most of the relationships really twist. I mean, they never really explain what happens with Peter and MJ, you're only assuming it works out. Spider-Man 4 could certainly help with this. The Peter/Ursala (the anorexic girl) relationship still leaves me puzzled. Hmm. I'll save that for another review.
It doesn't really seem like the place to leave Spider-Man hanging (Haha get it? :P). A fourth installment would most certainly not be out of line. Spider-Man seems to collapse within himself and then rebuild in each installment. It would be nice to finally see him get a break. I love love LOVE every second of the movie. Just like any good comic book movie sequel, even if you haven't seen the first two you won't be completely lost watching this. Highly recommended. If you love action then you'll LOVE this!!!!!!
