One Hero Three Villains... is a bit too much.

Rating: 2/10 (27 February 2019)

I really wished for the spiderman franchise and the fans to have at least one decent movie to got with. But it's just not meant to be...
After the horrible ending from the second part, where MJ left her own wedding for Peter I was really nosy to find out if they eventually made it together.
I certainly looked like it in the first 5 minutes of the Film. I wasn't sure at first in which way the plot will go as the they introduced some escaped prisoner who by accident fell into a science testing sandhole (!?) just right out of NY or the meteorite who hit the earth coincidently next to Peters moped.
MJ and Peters Love wasn't that strong it seemed as MJ annoyingly, as she always is, now gets jealous about Spider-Mans popularity. I mean she really wasn't that much of a bummer when she stood on the stage... I wonder what she actually expects from the world? Spider-Man saves lives everyday in NY for GS and she ... well... MJ portrays such a weak, helpless character. The movie came out 2007 when women are strong and independent, but her role throws that topic back into 1960! OK I would have been angry too, if on stage my boyfriend would kiss (french!) another women. Just for the photos. I mean she was in a relationship, too. Why on earth should they even kiss when he gets to be citizen of honor?
I ask myself why Peter never got around to take the cachectic daughter from his landlord? She is all over him, nice, simple and really wants him. There would have been one plot less to answer and we would be spared out at last with MJs never-ending screaming. I think they might have even recorded her screams and played a loop all over the actions scenes.. horrible.
They also managed to solve Uncle Bens death after 3 Movies. Amazing, great they finally got all the clues together. I admit, I already was satisfied with uncle Bens Death Scene and there was no mistery to be seen for me. But they needed a plot to make Spidey angry so they introduced another criminal. The scene was actually so stupid: I mean this Flint had like the same T-Shirt on when uncle Ben was killed and three years later when he became Mr. Sand? Was there not enough money to give him a second shirt?
I have to really, really criticize that stupid fighting scene between the houses. Green Goblin jr. vs. Spidey. It was an endless fight, and looked SO BAD edited. They improved with the CGI so much in the last 2 films, but here it seemed, they've let the intern finish the scene. Even when Spidey eventually got the Goblin, he tried once for CPR... gave up and they tried to reanimate him in hospital which surely took over 20 minutes to get there. In that case he would have been dead for sure. I already felt, the filmmakers think the audience is completely stupid and has no common sense.
I hoped for there main plot, when Spidey is possessed by venom! Amazing. I loved the transformation and the minutes he enjoyed his new life. Until: He looked in the mirror, full of rage... and flipped his streak of hair over his eyes. This was when he became Emo. But in such a bad way, I could Imagine his missed this phase out when he was 16...
Tobey Maguire doesn't have much expressions in the first place right, but here he lost it all. I liked it though, how he turned all his friends down. That was like a bit of acting, that suited Tobey. I actually enjoyed it how he blowed away MJ with the blond girl. But of course, Peter fought this new force in him. Which was a shame, as this plot ended to quickly in my opinion. They should have left it with this one! The sandman, the goblins revenge could have been completely left out.
But as the movie lacked with a good story they had cram in that other villain stuff to fill the movie. But it was to much. As as standalone Film I wished they would have explained more about that meteorite and venom. The name venom never fall actually,.. where he comes from or what he was up to anyway.
Inbetween all those complications MJ decided to try to go back to Harry. Comon MJ!? You had so many guys and chances already.. switching her love and heart like I switch my underwear made her an unlikeable person. How could Peter still fall for her? This Lovestory is complete joke. I like a good and healthy love story in super hero movies. But honestly, the times when the loved, helpless Girl gets in trouble were over already in the first movie. They continued this horror however.
My favorite character in the movie was Harry Osborne. He did his job so good. Being confused, back in love with MJ, even showed he was happing not remembering his past. That was some solid and great acting. Thanks Franco! My 2 stars got to you.
The way Harry died.. I didn't like it. He hated spiderman for 1 3/4 of a movie and then he died to save him? No way. Also, he just pierced in the chest like his father? I could accept that if it in comics, but I haven't read them thoroughly.
Yet another funeral and yet another speech about life lessons from peter ended this mess. Eventually.
