Tobey and James are lovers

Rating: 2/10 (2 July 2007)

Spiderman Three was a big disappointment. It was not good, and most certainly not great. It was melodramatic, and there were more miscasts than cats at an evil spinsters' home. James Cromwell's talent (which there isn't much of) is wasted in this. Topher Grace, who is great (well, good) in That Seventies Show is terrible in this. I didn't buy him for one second as the big burly bad guy. Speaking of big and burly, we find ourselves wondering why Thomas Haden Church (Academy Award nominee for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Sideways) is in this poor excuse for a film. And why put a villain as week as the Sandman in the last (hopefully) Spiderman. If you were going to put in a villain, why not put in Kingpin, or some other significant bad guy. I just didn't like it. I don't think that Tobey Maguire is a good actor in the least, and I think he should not 'grace' us in any other movies. Don't go and expect to see a great film, or even a good one. Go just to see action and visual effects, which are quite exceptional, but that's the only thing exceptional about it.
