Even the CG could have been better...

Rating: 5/10 (11 July 2007)

It's probably true that the final opinion of a movie depends pretty much on the initial expectations. However in this case...
I never expected anything else than the first two parts of the series provided: an easy and enjoyable combination of fun and action spiced up with small bits and pieces for the comic book connoisseur. And I got it from Spider-Man 3. Maybe I should have wished from something else instead...
Because this one tries too much: too many characters, too many cheesy jokes, too many Aunt May speeches and too much bad acting from Toby Maguire and James Franco... Even good performances by Thomas Haden Church or Topher Grace cannot make up for the lack of continuity, depth or focus.
Because Spider-Man 3 throws at you a long series of events that hardly make up a storyline much less a movie. The only scenes worth watching are the action ones and I'm sorry to say it but: even the CG doesn't look that good.
