Doesn't compare at all to the first 2 films in the series

Rating: 1/10 (6 May 2007)

OK, perhaps 1 is a bit harsh, but I felt that there's some demographic out there that's not accurately reflecting the awfulness of this film. It's nowhere near the 7.3 it's reflecting right now! I would recommend that anybody who wants to see this should wait for DVD. Aside from CG effects (some of which look fake anyway), the film is quite empty. There are too many villains, first of all. B/c of the number, they end up being half-developed and lacking character. There's inconsistency as to why there's even a meltdown in MJ's and Peter's relationship. Characters also completely act out of character.
If you want to see a review that's dead-on, read the one posted in the S.F. Chronicle by Mick LaSalle. It'll convince not to waste your valuable time on this movie.
