Huge Disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (15 September 2007)

spoilers maybe
This movie was probably the most highly anticipated movie I have ever seen. Maybe this is why it was such a disappointment when the movie was terrible. The plot of the movie is that Spiderman is know liked by most of the city because of his triumph over Doc Ock in the last film. In this new film, there are 3, basically four new villains. They are the sandman, the new goblin, venom, and the black-suited Spiderman himself. The sandman escapes from jail and is now lose in the city trying to steal money to help his sick daughter or something like that. Peter learns that the true murderer of his uncle Ben was the sandman. The new goblin (Harry Osbourne) now knows the true identity of Spiderman and seeks revenge on him for his fathers death. A meteor or something falls from the sky and in it is a black goo that takes over Peter Parkers' body while he is wearing the suit, which turns his suit black and turns his personality evil i guess. During all of this going on, Peter also struggles to maintain his relationship with Mary Jane and deal with a new photographer (Topher Grace) at work. Eventually the black goo leaves Spiderman and goes onto Eddie Brock (Grace)turn him into venom. I know it sounds like a lot to handle and that is the major reason why this movie turned out so bad.
Bad because:
There were too many things going on throughout the movie that it was like trying to followed 5 or 6 different stories all at one time. The movie focused too much of the relationship between Mary Jane and Peter that the was not much of Spiderman The ending was just plain retarded. Harry should not have died. Venom was only in the movie at the end for like 15 minutes when the whole movie should have just focused on his character and not the other villains. The main villain in my opinion was the sandman which i thought was the most boring character. Bryce Dallas Howards' role as Gwen Stacy was definitely not needed in the movie -the voice of venom sounded like a little girl. Spiderman jumping in front of an American flag. Characters that were in the movie at the beginning were not there again until the end. The sandman being able to fly through the air as a bunch of sand was corny. It was way too easy for Spiderman to defeat venom, all he had to do was make a loud noise. Tobey Mcquire dancing
Good Because- The acting of James Franco, Topher Grace, Rosemary Harris, J.K. Simmons, and Bruce Campbell The alley scence of Spiderman and the new goblin. Venom looked cool. Funny. Its a movie about Spiderman.
I would recommend seeing this movie once just so you can see really how bad it is compared to the first 2.
