The flaws can be overlooked, it was a great film.

Rating: 5/10 (17 May 2007)

Overall, I think Spider-Man 3 was a great film. There were many complaints about the film, and some of these complaints were reasonable, while some of them just weren't thought on enough. The CGI, for example. The computer graphics in this film are, like it's other two predecessors, amazing. We can't even lie about that, even though I hear so many people doing so. The graphics were great, and out of the flaws this movie truly did have, CGI had nothing to do with it. The acting. The acting wasn't as good as the first two (especially since the second movie's acting was awesome), but it wasn't bad either. Sure there were cheesy lines, but we laughed at them, which is what the writers intended. And a lot of people complained about Tobey's acting during the scene went Peter went "bad." A lot of you said you would laugh at him, or shake your heads. And you complained about this. Little do you realize, though, that's how you were supposed to react. You weren't supposed to say "Wow, Peter is so cool. I wanna be just like him." You were supposed to feel embarrassed, you were supposed to see that he wasn't "bad" at all. In fact, he was very bad at being "bad". But he was supposed to be! Peter was supposed to look like the little loser kid who tries to act cool but just makes himself look like even more of a loser than he was before. And that's exactly what he did. If that scene made you "sad," good. It was supposed to. Another complaint was the crying, and I'll admit that there was a lot of crying in the movie. And most of the time, you did find yourself laughing while the actors were crying, and I don't think this was intended. There could have been less crying, and there should have been less crying. This is a reasonable complaint. However, every film has a weak point. The crying was Spider-Man 3's weak point, and it didn't stop the movie from being amazing. People complained a lot about how the film was very crammed. Everything seemed to be crammed into two and a half hours, which was expected, since the film is filled with so many different plot lines and events. Most of you said that the director didn't handle this well, though. A lot of people felt it could have been done better, because it was kind of confusing, rushed, and you always felt that it was crammed as well. If you felt that, then good. Think about it for a minute. Peter, throughout the movie, feels confused, as do the rest of the main cast. They feel at times pressured or annoyed, and depressed, and like I said before, very confused. The audience was supposed to feel the same way, and the audience may not have enjoyed it, but neither did the characters in the film. This was intended, though, because you almost felt like you were in the movie. And some of you found yourselves even shouting out at the characters, saying "Don't do that!" or "Why did he/she just do that?" which is good, because it meant you were 'involved' with the film. Overall, the movie was very good. I think it's up there with Spider-Man 2 as the best Spider-Man film in the trilogy. Though there were a few flaws, I think they can be overlooked, and it did good keeping up with it's amazing predecessors.
