Good... But not great.

Rating: 6/10 (13 May 2014)

SPIDER-MAN 3
The final chapter in this trilogy.
The movie continues on from the second movie with Peter and MJ together, Harry angry with Peter and looking for revenge and 2 new villains on the loose.
This was entertaining, but was disappointing compared to the other films.
The story was actually not bad, but it seemed very stretched and there was a lot of things crammed into one movie.
The rivalry between Harry and Peter was very interesting, but would have liked to see more. I thought Harry's anger towards Spider-Man was so strong that the Hob Goblin could have had a whole movie to himself. The other bad guys were not really needed. But, the Hob Goblin was not the main villain. Sandman was the main bad guy. The effects were quite good for him and I thought he looked great, but I feel he should have been more evil. The writers made him more of a victim than a bad guy.
The other bad guy that made an appearance was Venom. Venom was my favourite character through the movie, I was just very disappointed that he had such little screen time. Especially as you have the posters with him all over. The scenes he was in were great though.
There were a few things about this film I didn't like. It felt like this film was ripping off parts of other movies. At one point it reminded me of Superman 3. Spider-Man started changing into an evil version of himself. During this time, Peter walks around town dancing and thinking he is gods gift to women. This just didn't seem to fit into the movie at all. It took the atmosphere away from the story and added too much comedy to the film. It distracted us from the main story and point of the film. I know Peter was going through some changes, but it should have been done differently. Secondly, there is a scene where Peter is dancing with some girl to make MJ jealous. This is another scene which should have been left. Out. It looked like a scene from The Mask. It just didn't fit in this film.
The effects and action sequences were very good. I really enjoyed them and thought they were as good as the other movies.
The acting was as good too. The original cast returned. Toby Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco. All did so good job. Other cast members were Thomas Haden Church & Topher Grace. It was also good to see Bruce Campbell and Stan Lee back.
OK, look... This is a good film, and I did like it... But the are a lot of things that were not so good. This is 2 films squeezed into 1 and it all feels a bit rushed.
I will give this 6 out of 10.
