Worst of the 3, but not horrible

Rating: 5/10 (4 May 2007)

A lot of people are saying how terrible Spider-man 3 is. It is not terrible, but it also isn't great. Because many people expected it to blow their minds (which it definitely fell short of doing), this movie was still entertaining as hell, funny, and Venom was amazing. Here are some problems I do have with it:
1. Venom doesn't come into the movie until there are 20-ish minutes left; most of the movie focuses on a giant mound of sand for a villain. 2. There was WAY too much going on; they should have focused on a few story lines, leaving out the jealousy and romance of Peter and Mary-Jane (kinda became a chick-flick). Again, this should have been Venom's movie. 3.Lame, lame, lame ending. (I mean, come on...) 4. at least an hour that could have been spent doing something better but chronicled Peter being a jerk, etc.
They got lazy and could have made this much better than it actually was. To end the way they did was shocking because they worked so hard in making this movie and appeared to have given up at making a good ending (seriously--its corny and dumb).
Still, this movie was VERY entertaining, good story, awesome special effects, loved Venom, SAndman was OK (but he's still just a giant mound of sand...). Still, a movie with such good predecessors should be equally great and this movie wasn't, which is why everyone felt let down by it. If this movie came out independently of the other two, people would have to at least given it a 5/10 because that is what it's worthy of. Still...I hope that Spider-Man 4 returns to the things that made the 1st and 2nd truly great.
