Very disappointed

Rating: 1/10 (4 May 2007)

I really don't know if i should review this movie. So i will make it quick. Allow me to start with, I liked the first Spiderman. I DID NOT like the second one. The CGI was horrible. I do agree that the original Green Goblin looked like something from the POwer Rangers, but the first one was good. So tonight I went to the 12:01 a.m. showing with a friend who really wanted to see it.
We are returned to spidey(Toby Maguire) and his girl MJ (Kirsten Dunst, ick) and how wonderfully in love they are. Harry is still not happy with spidey/peter for killing his dad. MJ is performing on Broadway in a musical (with a not so good voice) and Spidey has become the savior of the city. It seems as though nothing could go wrong, but.... OUt of the blue, Harry decides he needs to seek revenge on spidey for the death of his father and becomes the New Green Goblin guy. A fight ensues, Spidey wins, knocks Harry unconscious, BAM he has forgotten the fact that Spidey stole his girlfriend (that he was too afraid to talk to in the first one, so I'm so on Harry's side here) and that he thinks spidey killed his father. All is well. The three are BFF. Enter Sandman/Flint Marko. Marko is an escaped felon with a sick daughter. The police inform spidey and aunt may that flint is the one who murdered uncle ben. This angers Spidey. Between all of this enter Gwen Stacy (played by a wonderful Bryce Dalas Howard) who is the daughter of the police chief and whom spidey saves and kisses (MJ gets mad). Throughout this some strange black goo hits earth from the sky, climbs to spidey and overcomes him. Flint Marko becomes sandman by some freak accident involving, guess this.....sand. Spidey becomes his own enemy and turns bad for a while, MJ and Spidey have some problems and topher grace is the only reason worht going to see this film as Eddie Brock.Cenom who is in love with Gwen. There are more corny lines in this movie than in all the national lampoon movies and American pie movies combined. The audience is supposed to be on spidermans side, especially when harry tries to steal MJ back, but really, what kind of friend steals his best friends girlfriend and keeps his identity a secret. I"m on Harry's side and i understand where topher grace's character is coming from. He gets called a fraud, but wtf is spidey, how does peter get pictures? I found this film ridiculous, in all honesty. THere are really stupid dance scenes. Corny one liners, the plot has too many villains and do not develop any of them enough for you to not want the to win. I know this will be the top grossing film of the year, which makes me sad. Because this film seems to have had no thought go into it, and some pretty rough acting by maguire and dunst. A movie for the kids, maybe.
Rated PG 13 for violence. 140 minutes.
