Disappointment after disappointment. The worst hero flick ever!

Rating: 4/10 (5 May 2007)

I bought the tickets for this film in Mexico one day before the release. I invited my best friends to it and we were on a sort of hype in order to watch it. To be honest, I didn't like the first Spider-Man; the second, I believe was awful. Now, the third... Well, I give it a sentimental value only because of watching it with my friends. Technically speaking, it may have some effects that remind me of The Mummy; some scenes are almost as watching a regular diary of a blown off teenager. And then, A MUSICAL SCENE (!)
I believe that Columbia should have been more thorough in hiring a director that only bluffed about having a Spider-Man poster on his door as a young filmmaker, talking about how he loved the character and all that junk. I even liked the focus on Fantastic Four better than this one (considering that I also hated it). Hero flicks are drowning in a high budget investment and lots of marketing strategies to compensate it. The storyline is every time lighter, less brainy and completely boring. Heck, there was even a point when we counted 8 consecutive yawns during the feature, and a friend of mine asked: "what's the name of this movie, again, Spider who?"
Bring more talent, people; bring more brains rather than brawl and teen inner conflicts. Less propaganda, please, and more essence of the story. God Almighty, please deliver us from Sam Raimi and Brett Ratner, as well as from uninteresting sagas. Please bring back the time of the superb X-Men, the smart V for Vendetta, the arabesque Hellboy and the beautifully narrated Blade.
And by the way, Spidey, pack Mr. Raimi's bags and go back to sniff on Stan Lee's rear. Get out of the film (sadly) industry.
