A dark day for Spiderman fans...

Rating: 3/10 (6 May 2007)

I went into this movie expecting the blockbuster sensation that I got when I saw the previous films. Instead I got characters who were dropped on us with little or no development and then whisked away into the wind before we even realized they were there. We got a Sandman who at one moment wants to destroy Spiderman then the next instant only wants forgiveness and could care less about our wall crawling hero. We get a Venom who refers to himself as "I" instead of "we". Venom doesn't say "I" or "my", Venom is a character comprised of two personalities and always said "we". We have a "new" goblin. Harry didn't take up the role of Green Goblin 2, Hobgoblin or any other goblin. Harry became a flying snowboard riding weenie who cried more than he fought and went from murderous Spiderman destroying psychopath to "Pete's my friend again" in the blink of an eye. As frustrating as all that is we get stuck in this movie watching the Parker, Osborn, Watson triangle of love for the second time?! What's wrong Mr. Raimi couldn't you come up with some fresh ideas for this script. I won't even comment on Emo Peter and his stint as a wannabe Jim Carry from The Mask. All in all this movie was hyped up to be the best movie of the year and it'll be lucky to land number 7 on that list. Not very impressive and will be glad to see it go.
