It was very disappointing third installment, but it isn't that bad.

Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2016)

Yeah, after one of the best superhero movie ever. This third installment was a big disappointment, mainly because of how good the second one is. So when I first got a chance to sit in a jam packed theater when this movie first came out, I was thrilled. That is until the story started to progress. Now I know it isn't all Sam Raimi's fault since he didn't want that many villains in his movie. But he just didn't have that much control because Sony decided to but in and oversee the production of this film. Now this isn't a bad film, but it just lacked the uplifting, emotional power mixed in with entertainment value the first two has. That isn't to say this is a bad film, it does have it's moments and I thought for there being 3 villains, the flow wasn't terrible. I mean it could have been way worse, but Sam Raimi managed to pull it off with what he was forced to do. This is why Spider-Man 4 didn't happen because Sony tried to take away a lot of control from Sam Raimi which ticked him off. The problem is that although there is a lot going on, it just couldn't delve into everything it was trying to do. And some stuff like Venom just seems to be shoehorned in there to please the fans. However watching this movie again leisurely in the comfort in my own home, I thought it wasn't that bad. After trying to absorb everything this film had to offer, the flow wasn't terrible and I thought it was a watchable movie. And even the emo Peter Parker dancing scenes despite it being super cheesy wasn't cringe worthy. Overall, this is actually a watchable finale to this Same Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and ties up most of the loose ends. Lastly, Aunt May is a warm and wise woman. It was always a pleasure to see her give Peter advice when he was dealing with his demons throughout this trilogy. I really appreciated this movie more as an adult than I was as a kid. I also think that it's cool that Spider- Man wear his mask to protect his loved ones, but also to not show His fear to his enemies.
7.3/10
