There's No-Flow, Man!

Rating: 3/10 (16 May 2007)

The movie started off well, but got into trouble (with me) almost immediately. *SPOILERS* are necessary here since I would be accuse of being a troll if I'd just criticize the movie without giving my reason.
First it started off with Peter & Mary Jane, then it was about Harry, then it was about this escaped convict, then it was about this creature in the meteor, etc.-- even though these people were NOT in the same place. Then when the first "action" sequence came, first it was about the Goblin, then it was about the Sandman, then it was about the Goblin, then it was about the Sandman, etc.-- even though these people were NOT in the same place. You see where I'm going with this?
This problem persists right through to the final "end" sequences: first it was about Venom, then it was about the Sandman, then it was about the Goblin, etc.-- even though these people were NOT in the same place. Spiderman 3 feels like one of those anime feature films re-edited from an entire anime series-- meaning that it is very difficult to enjoy as a stand-alone movie, what with "no-flow" in the music, acting, scripting, etc.. I mean, someone must have been so busy calculating the lighting ratios and frame-rates that they switched off their "human sense".
It gets at least a pass (5) from me for its special effects & production values-- though I am seriously tempted to give it a lower score for using such an awkward way and taking such an awfully long time to deliver them... but I'm a fan (of Spidey, not the movie).
