Hands-down one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Rating: 2/10 (4 May 2007)

Really, that about sums it up. VERY few things could redeem this film, one of which was the fact that my girlfriend paid for my ticket. It was almost as cheesy as the 90's Batman films... No, scratch that, it was almost as cheesy as the 60's Batman show. The action is great, but only because it's the most expensive film ever made. Literally. And did I mention there's even less comic continuity than in X-Men 3?
There are three different villains, and four if you count Peter Parker battling against his symbiote-controlled self. Is that really necessary? Each villain easily could have had its own movie, like the other two films. It seems like the producers, knowing what awesome potential it could have, tried to cram as much action and cameos and campy humor and touching love scenes and powerful self-realization moments... well, you get the picture.
One thing movie producers seem to be doing nowadays, and of which this dump-heap of a movie is a perfect example, is thinking that, since 'less is more,' then more will be super-more! Unfortunately, these people are still allowed to live and, even worse, make movies.
The bottom line is, if you really liked superhero films like Batman Begins , DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. If you really liked the Spider-Man comics and think the movie will have a similar story, DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. If you're not too interested in superhero films and are just going for James Franco, maybe see this movie. But try to get someone else to pay.
