The best of the three

Rating: 5/10 (23 May 2007)

It could have been a disaster with all the different plot elements and the long running time but i thought Raimi weaved the stories together well. Although the film did at times feel episodic it was never boring or muddled. Its such a good ride i'll even forgive them changing their own story and saying Sandman was involved in Ben's death(!). For once Tobey Maguire's curious/comical face and expressions didn't put me off (like in the Train part of SM2). The only bad part of the film was the cheesy bar dance sequence (as unfortunate as the wrestling scene from SM1) and the usual "God bless America, look at me on a flag, isn't New York great" bit. Overall though, i thought it was very good - the best of the three Spider-Man films.
