Got Stuck Somewhere In The Web Of Commerce

There are definitely many reason why Spiderman 3 did not succeed in the way the two prequels did. Well, of course commercially it did but the general opinion seems to be that this part was the weakest of the trilogy.
So one of those mentioned reason could be that the level of expectation was truly enormous just because part 1 & 2 had hit it big time. Another well-articulated reason might also be that scripts written under a decent amount of pressure simply won't be done blindfold. But the most sensible reason is in my eyes that the script was intended to please all kinds of audience, the action-freaks, the love story fans, the comic nerds and those who know that a Spiderman movie is always worth its money. Apparently this tactic didn't work out this time , cause despite of the potential of bundling the best comic book draft with the experience of the well-tried prequels Spiderman 3 never seems to find the right compilation of story elements, love/suffer and action to surpass the quality of its prequels.
But slow down..it still is well-performed with slight exceptions, features astonishing effects and presents an utterly comforting and satisfying ending. So yeah..it's still worth the money, it's still Spidey but it's unfortunately not the mega-hot-spot final which the fans had craved.
