sentimental hero.

Rating: 1/10 (8 May 2007)

I just got home from the movies. I sat in the cinema patiently for more than 2 hours for this movie I have been waiting for since Spiderman 2. And I feel exactly like how I felt when I watched the prequel. Disappointed.
This movie gains much exposure and fame thanks to its prequels. People stormed to the movies not because the movie is good, but they want to see Spidey. What makes this movie great is the special effect.
The storyline is what I found the most appalling part. I thought the second movie's plot line was okay (though a bit twisted already), but this one, is super-tangled. Some new story lines are added to the plot, making it MORE twisted, but somehow the creators managed to untangle it in the end, in a somewhat awkward and sentimental way.
I mean, for example, the police officials announced that somebody else killed Ben Parker and it kinda makes Peter feel SO guilty cos he killed the wrong guy, but in the end it was all a misunderstanding. That is what I meant by adding up a twisted plot and untangling it. Another thing that really bothers me was when Sandman went like "Oh I want to kill Spidey, oh I want to kill Spidey," but in the end what did he say? "Please forgive me." Oh and since when did the Osbourne butler become an important person? "There are certain things that I've seen but haven't said." Yeah right. If there really were, why didn't he clear up the misunderstanding but keep the truth to himself? So 2 best friends could kill each other? Sorry for being kinda mental, but that's how disappointed I really was. The list could go on forever, but I'll leave it to that.
Kudos to the special effects team to did their wonderful job making the effects look so realistic, for which I think is the only task that was carried out perfectly.
For Spiderman lovers, go and watch this movie, but don't complain if it's ugly. For good quality movie seekers, I would not recommend this one, aside of being a waste of time and money, it's been a waste of energy for me too as I haven't stop complaining about it.
