Not even worth sneaking in to

Rating: 1/10 (9 May 2007)

As I was in line to buy tickets to this movie, at least a dozen people that walked by out of the Spiderman that had just ended were warning the people in line "Don't go see Spiderman". I should have listened. It's like they tried to fit 3 different movies with 3 different story lines into this one. I mainly went to this movie because of Venom, and was incredibly let down/disappointed/depressed to see A) Venom was played by Eric Foreman, an incredibly sad miscast, and B) Venom wasn't introduced until the last 25-30 minutes of the movie. The "evil" Peter Parker was a joke. Apparently, hitting on girls, playing the piano, and looking like a member of Good Charlotte is really evil these days. And the Sandman? Let's see, he killed Peter's uncle, tries to kill Peter throughout the whole movie, and in the end, after all their battles, I almost expected them to embrace in the sunrise as Sandman begged for forgiveness and Spiderman said "I forgive you", each with tears in their eyes. And Harry? He's been mad at Spiderman for killing his father for 3 movies now. Enough. He should have been killed off from that grenade (which was probably the coolest, and only evil thing the "evil" Spiderman did) so we can finally move on to new rivalries. Not to mention the fact that a grenade was strong enough to completely destroy the Venom monster and Eddie Brock, yet the one that blew up practically in Harry's eye socket only caused a few scratches.
This movie was too long, too dull, and incredibly weak. They should have picked one rival out of Sandman or Venom, and made a nice well developed 90-120 minute movie. This movie did not deserve to have made half the money that it did.
