Poor, too long and far to full of zoom shots

Rating: 2/10 (5 May 2007)

I sat in a cinema full of kids - and often found that there were far to many quiet moments - not much of a surprise that the kids started misbehaving during these sequences, which were far too frequent during the film. The pacing of this film basically sucked. They should have stuck to 2 spidey films and not bothered with the 3rd.
The 'love' scenes, the 'personal dilemma' scenes and the long slow pan and zoom shot scenes didn't captivate the kids from what I could tell - my t-shirt being full of popcorn down my back by the end of it suggested that this film couldn't hold their attention - and I wasn't seeing the film in a chavvy part of London, it was upmarket Clapham. Worrying.
There were bits where they attempted comedy - something I recommend that Tobey M never attempts again! Kirsten Dunst didn't really seem to care that she was in this film (and her interview on Jonathon Ross confirms this). Worth seeing for Tophey Grace's performance and the sandman actor chap (although his character story is suspect).
Seriously - If you've got kids take them to a shorter film - they will get bored in this and start fidgeting far too much.
