I would Say Raimi as Director saves it

Rating: 5/10 (3 May 2007)

Just watched it in the theater and i wont say i didn't liked it,but it is not that good,i wont say i liked it either, i am in a tough spot just because i used to be a huge fan of spider man and i went trough the venom comics in the days of McFarlane, just stopped reading spider man trough the whole clone stories.
But i would say if it wasn't spider man, if it did not had some nice moments with the black suit (nice and short) and the dark side of spider man i would say it was bad, even Venom let me wishing something more.
After this i don't believe Sam Raimi is going to direct another, i sincerely don't believe he made this movie willingly without complaints. I may be wrong about Wat i am saying i am not that informed about it, and if i am wrong correct me but judging from Raimi's work on previous movies it makes me sincerely doubt and wonder.
This movie has extremely cheesy scenes (extra cheesy really), and very fast pacing in telling incomplete mini plots introducing the characters. Something he took some time in previous movies. Sincerely with that plot and scenes it would suck if it wasn't Raimi directing. I can sincerely say from my opinion that Raimi saved this movie.I just wish Raimi had made this in two movies instead of one and took some time telling some compelling stories like in previous movies,just because venom was my favorite villain, he was the dark side of spider man,like an equal who took a different path,like obi wan and Darth Vader, the two sides of a story.
And one more thing my "review" is plot-wise, i am analyzing the plot, the time frame of the sequences,the credibility witch Raimi tried to strengthen in the previous movies and the comparison of the characters from the movie with the comic characters in terms of substance.
I still recommend it, but if you know the characters and found the previous movies good or acceptable don't keep your expectations too high.
