I have two words to say - Uh oh!

Rating: 6/10 (4 May 2007)

I have been amped for months to see this movie - this week I have been almost insane. As a 37 year old high school teacher who has grown up with every version of TV cartoon Spidey ever, I was thrilled in 2002 when the big screen version lived up the legend. Again in 2004, I was not disappointed with S2. I bought special 12:01am midnight tickets to see Spidey 3 tonight before most everyone else. Huge crowds of loyal fans filled three theatres at these sneak shows, and most of us are wondering - um what was that? I will not spend the time ranting about issues or spoilers, just let me say this - you may walk out of the theatre, scratching your head going What were Sam and Tobey thinking? It's not awful, but it is nowhere near as good as the first two. And the possibility of a fourth is in serious jeopardy. But I still love my Peter and his Mary Jane. Maybe if I see it again, it'll grow on me, like a symbiote. Keep swinging Spidey!
