50/50

Rating: 5/10 (7 May 2007)

I am a little surprised with people who take the view that Rami has destroyed the franchise or that he does not take into consideration what the fans want. I say thank God Rami directed this series in the first place. Imagine if Joel "Batman & Robin Schumacher was at the helm. Rami's camera style is made for Spiderman. And without him, we would not have gotten 3 great cameos by Bruce Campbell.
Still, the movie suffers from a plot line that shoots up and down faster than one of those bobbing bird things. I think if it had continuously escalated until the final confrontation, it would have been much better. For example, how many times did Harry die in the film? First in the alleyalright he made itthen when the grenade went off by his headalright he made itthen finally in the end. Chances are in part 4 he will rise from the grave once more. The same went for the Sandman. He was a threatthen he was gonethen he was backthen he decided to move to a beach some where and be nice.
If this film was a little tighter, it would have been just as good as the first two.
At the end of the day though, it was still way better than most of the crap released these days. I hope Rami signs on for part 4. Rumor has it that The Lizard and Carnage will make their appearance. I am all about that!
