What... Where.. And why did that just happen???

Rating: 3/10 (4 May 2007)

I'm a great spider-fan, and both of the first 2 movies made my must-see-list, but the 3. just lacks a natural flow.
It could appear like Sam Raimi did every thing right. More villains than the first two combined, SF that are breath taking and the spider get a new cool suit. Sadly it seems that despite the much larger budget than the first two, that the money came right out of the fund for the script. This is apparent in the ending or should I say endings. The script is so weak that it takes three fade-outs to tie up the most of the storyline and still you feel like something is missing, but luckily at this point in the movie, you have already stopped paying attention to the storyline.
What ( I believe) is the problem with the storyline, is not, that it is all that bad but someone got something wrong, and wrote a movie that was supposed to be an hour longer. Then higher up someone said "hmm we've already spent too much money on SF let just cut out all the cool parts and epic scenes, and make a movie out of those." The end product became a movie that never builds any suspense and the web that holds the plot together is so weak, that the motives of both the heroes and the villains feels unreal, You never feel any empathy with any of them, with the two first movies really had going for them.
The only thing left to comment is the characters. Mary Jane has suddenly completely changed from being a sweet, fresh, smiling girl, that is vibrant and always in touch with life, to something quit the opposite. In this movie she is weak, repressed and just depressing to watch. Peter Parker on the other hand changes his personality several times i the movie, signified by a different hairstyle and a bit of eyeliner (real subtle). This could have been cool but it just looks like a bad The Mask impersonation and make Parkers meeting with the dark side look like a joke.
