Spidey - Where's the Action?

Rating: 2/10 (9 May 2007)

I loved Spiderman 1 - i really liked Spiderman 2 - I wasted my money on Spiderman 3. Even my 11 year old son thought it was poor...the few action scenes interspersed with love story sections and attempts at comedy was disjointed, and just not fun....There is a real feeling of going through the motions in this third episode of the franchise...The fight scenes were not easy to follow and i couldn't feel any sympathy with any of the characters...The relationship stories are all carried over from the first movie, and who really cares about how uncle Ben and Aunt May got engaged?...Venom and sandman are the big bad enemies and venom only really appears towards the end of this very long dull movie. I came for the action and went home and watched the runaway train section from Spiderman2 and there was more action in that segment than the whole of Spiderman 3....and this from the director who brought us Army of Darkness...on reflection even 2 out of 10 is a tad high....
