So bad it didn't seem real

Rating: 3/10 (7 May 2007)

This movie was perhaps one of the biggest let-downs in recent memories for me. I wasn't insanely excited for Spiderman 3, even though I thoroughly enjoyed the first two, but there was so much hype and the previews were so well-done that I thought the movie was going to be rocking. Wow was I wrong. The writing was the worst I have ever seen from the Raimi brothers, the acting was a joke (save for Bruce Campbell), and the story lines were poorly developed. The action scenes were not good enough to save the movie. The movie tried to be a comedy too often and it completely lost all of it's emotion in the progress. The crowd had no idea what to feel at any moments and as such were clapping and booing at the wrong scenes. The dance scene at the jazz bar was so unbelievable to me that I thought I was going to wake up and realize I was dreaming and that I hadn't gone to see the movie yet. Save your money, unless you want some cheap laughs.
