nice fit as a trilogy

Rating: 6/10 (6 May 2007)

OK, by now you have read several reviews. My opinion is that it is not better or worse then the other Spider-man movies, its just different. The fact is that there is way too much here to fit into a 2 hour movie. At the end you question both Flint Marco's motivation and Venom's outcome. It would of been nice to see more to the teaming up of Venom and Sandman, but the result in the movie is a quick scene of basically "c'mon lets go get spider-man". By the end of the movie you are left thinking I just saw a whole lot in this movie for it to end so quick. I think the middle of the movie that showcases bad Peter is longer than the finale.
In remembering that this movie is for KIDS and adults, it will be loved by the kids. Long time comic book fans will be angered. I enjoyed the film up to the end when it just was over too fast.
There's a scene with Curt Connors and in the background is a skeleton of a reptile, nice hint of whats to come. Next films should focus on Peter in college, bring in the Lizard, introduce Miles Warren/Jackel and get back to what you know Raimi.....old school Spider-man.
