Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2007)

Spider Man 3 promised so much but delivered little. Firstly too many villains. Sandman was not really a great part of the film, apart from the device of being Ben Parker's true murderer. He delivered little in my opinion. Secondly, the character of Venom (not mentioned by name) was brought in too late in the film, really he was only used for the climax of the movie. Unfortunately the main flaw of the film was its concentration of about 88% on the relationship between Peter Parker and Mary-Jane. This meant the film was stretched over 2 1/2 hours of screen time, about the same length of POTC: At World's end, which has been severely criticised for its length.
Finally, god, shut up with the romance. There was only about 4-5 fights in the film, about 1 every 1/2 hour. All the rest was Parker and Mary Jane talking...Talking!!!!! All the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All in all disappointing.
