Not Bad but fairly long winded!

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 2007)

I only saw this today with my family and was looking forward to seeing the second sequel as we all enjoyed the first two "Spiderman" films. The story is all based from comics so as you would expect, it's pretty much paint-by-numbers but sadly the undoing of the second sequel was that it was far too long. I was a little disappointed! It starts off strongly but eventually it drags on and on and on until you desperately want it to finish! The plot is very complex: Peter is getting engaged to Mary-Jane, a escaped convict gets turns into a monster, Harry still wants revenge for his father's death and a little black, alien goo turns Peter bad! I'm not saying this is a bad movie, I just lasted 30 minutes too long. I also thought Peter was being too mean to Mary-Jane after she was trying to help him but he was under a curse. I thought the second sequel wasn't going the same way as the first two. I was pleased that Stan Lee, the original creator of Spiderman made a cameo appearance as a bystander talking to Peter, it will be a sad day on earth when this guy dies, I tell you! This movie isn't bad but I prefer the first two. Good but no cigar I'm afraid this time, Spidey!
7/10
