Enough With The Negative!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2007)

This is NOT the "worst comic book movie ever". There is so much to enjoy here. The fight scenes are outstanding, but I was really surprised by how well everyone's acting was. Tobet Maguire with the black suit is really fun to watch, even when he's NOT playing Spiderman just because he's so full of himself and it's fun to watch. The villains are cast really well. Thomas Haden Church gives a very emotional performance as Sandman (who by the way has some of the best special effects I've seen). His performance is great as a villain who really doesn't like what he's done with his life and is just doing it to help the people he loves. James Franco shines as Harry Osbourne. He does of great job of switching from a good friend to Peter to a really good villain who shows us some of the creepiest sneers ever. Seriously, they are scary. It's not better than 2, but there's still a whole lot to enjoy here. People who hated this expected WAY too much non-stop Spidy, and it just isn't that kind of movie. If you see this movie, you can't spend the whole time thinking "oh, when's Spidy gonna come" because that will only shield you from what it is, which is a great movie with outstanding acting from EVERYONE, good humor, and some heart-wrenching scenes in addition to the very nice fight scenes, including a nicely done four-way fight at the end. Take it for what it is and enjoy.
