This was a horrible film. Hear me out.

Rating: 1/10 (4 May 2007)

To be honest, I went in to SM3 expecting it to be the best one yet. I don't want to be one of those reviewers that is clouded by emotion, so despite my feelings going into the movie, I'll try to set them aside.
This film was poorly constructed, and felt rushed. The pacing was erratic at best, which led to strangely arranged scenes, many of which feel out of place, or even useless.
Director Sam Raimi obviously wanted to retain every character that hasn't yet died in the series, making some scenes just all about throwing in characters that we no longer care about.
A large problem this movie faced was Tobey Maguire, and any scene he was in. For the first half of the movie, Peter Parker is essentially the villain, as he mistreats Mary Jane and stumbles through life, despite doing a stellar job as Spiderman. Unfortunately, this version of Peter is goofy as ****, and is less likable as a result. Impromptu dance session? Yes. Creepy flirting? Yes. Air-humping? In there. Spousal abuse? Yeah, believe it or not. Peter Parker does it all.
Don't get me wrong, it isn't all bad. The villains shine, and constantly steal the show, making you almost root for them. The Sandman stole every scene he was in, and Venom was visually stunning. The new version of the Green Goblin is epically cool.
Unfortunately, the amount of time Peter fights these guys is few and far between. I'd say the amount of time Peter spends in this film creeping out pretty girls rivals his time fighting enemies. No joke.
See it if you must, but it is only entertaining for the wrong reasons.
