Pretty Good

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2007)

Spider-man 3 was an enjoyable movie but as a big fan, probably my least favorite of the 3. I wish they had spent more time with a plot instead of just throwing villains in for the sake of having them. The special effects for Sandman were great but it definitely felt like there was no real reason to have him in the movie other than just getting a cool villain from the comics into the movie. The Venom / Spidey dynamic was good and I wished they had focused on that more, letting Peter delve a little more into his bad side. They could have definitely amped up Eddie Brock's character as well, playing into his rivalry with Peter more. They also focused too much on the relationship between Mary Jane and Peter. Obviously, that is a major part of the story, but it felt more like a romance movie / drama than an action movie at many times. Overall, it was good but not great.
