Failure

Rating: 4/10 (5 May 2007)

After watching S1 and S2 and being sure that this is the only worthwhile comic book adaptation, I had great expectations about Spiderman 3. I had also MANY worries 'bout it. Symbiote? Black Suit? New Goblin? Sandman?! And VENOM!?!? In one movie? that's a script for at least 2 good blockbusters. Nevertheless, I've gone to the cinema with a lot of hope.
I don't regret that. S3 is a good movie after all, but fails as an action movie (it's better than Ghost Rider (what is not?) and X3, but these were complete failures...). Too many characters guarantee poor development, and : I won't forgive the come-in of the symbiote. It just fell of the sky. Great. The writer must have reached nirvana to make this up. And then stuck to Parker's bike, hid under his bed. Another great idea. What you can expect under collegian's bed? A beer bottle? Pizza? Pack of condoms? No, it's an aggression-booster that fell of the sky. Bravissimo.
Venom. A villain essential to Spider-man franchise as The Joker is for Batman's, and so on. Spider-man's biggest nightmare is shown for, i don't know, 20 minutes? With no tongue, no muscles, no VOICE? Venom should be too powerful to even consider an alliance with Sandman... Venom is too "big" to be so "small" like in the movie.
New goblin. One fight, lots of crying, I don't want to talk bout it...
Sandman was OK, properly developed, looked like a King-Kong/Godzilla/Monster from Ghostbusters during the final scene, but OK.
There's only one way to continue the 9-movies saga (?) - forget the part 3 (it'll earn the money after all), make part 4 with, for example, Shocker and Rhino, and start the symbiote story once again, and make it a good one...
