What was the point?

Rating: 4/10 (10 May 2007)

I can't believe that after 2 great movies Sam Raimi got it so wrong. I'll be brief as I'm sure there will be a thousand reviews picking this movie apart. I just have a few points I have to get across.
What was the point in the Sandman? I liked the actor, I liked the effects, I liked the fight scenes but what was the bigger point? The Uncle Ben story? Rubbish. The whole revenge thing could have been dealt with in a way better way than this lazy effort.
The real story of this movie was completely ignored. Harry Ozborne becoming the Goblin. 2 seconds of him walking out a green mist! This is surely the story that's been building for the first 2 movies. We've been waiting to see the new Goblin and Spidey go at it big time. All we got were a few crappy dark, out of focus action scenes. If they'd taken The Sandman completely out of this movie, it could have been great.
Never mind, let's look forward to more rubbish when Spiderman 4 comes out. Maybe they should just forget the movie and concentrate on the thing they're really good at; selling merchandise.
