Not up to scratch

Rating: 5/10 (12 June 2007)

I've got to say that I've enjoyed the previous 2 Spidey films. I'm not a big fan of movie franchises though and this is a classic case in point for the problems with film series. If I ever buy a box set of Spiderman movies this is (one of) the one(s) that would get played once. The film really doesn't stand up in it's own right. There's a little bit of character development and a couple of interesting sub plots, but it really isn't enough.
To be fair I've certainly seen worse films and I do like Dunst and Maguire even if their chemistry wasn't quite as good as in the previous 2 films. It's worth checking out, but not very satisfying. If your part way through watching the all day epic of Spiderman in 2015 you can quite happily go out for a couple of hours between 2 and 4 without missing anything important.
