Best Spider-Man Yet!

Rating: 9/10 (5 May 2007)

I really enjoyed "3." If you accept what these movies are--pure escapism not designed to tax your brain too heavily--you can't except a much better movie than "Spider-Man 3." The story was interesting, the acting was solid if unspectacular, the action scenes and special effects were about the best you'll ever see and the movie even delivered some laugh-out-loud comedy. Some have criticized the length of the movie, but it had no problem keeping me interested for the full 2 hours and 20 minutes. My wife and I took our 12- and 9-year-olds and it turned into a great family night at the movies.
I think the only people who will have problems with this movie--based on some of the comments I've read here--are comic book aficionados. For the rest of us, "Spider-Man 3" is a great ride.
