Spiderman as a goofy b-rate comedy

Rating: 1/10 (6 May 2007)

Never have I uttered the words "Oh God" so many times well watching a movie. What happened to the captivating dialog of the first two films, the interesting characters, the breathtaking special effects. Everything positive that the first two films brought to this franchise seem to be thrown out the window in Spiderman 3. Putting aside all the cheezy graphics that this film brings and what could be the worst performance of Tobey Maguire's career one major thing is missing from this movie...a good director. Sam Raimi has massacred the whole venom plot line of Spiderman. Venom in the comic book makes Peter Parker evil, but in the film he just seems, for lack of a better word, goofy. The whole sequence where Spiderman is taken over by venom, where he apparently turns emo, is absurd. He turns pure evil, even going so far as to dance with another woman in from of Mary Jane. How sycophantic can you get? Terrible, Terrible addition to a great series.
