The weakest of the original Spider-Man trilogy, though a notch better than the Amazing Spider-Man films

Rating: 6/10 (30 July 2018)

When this movie came out, I went and saw it in theaters with a friend. I enjoyed the new villain Sandman and liked how they made Harry Osborne (James Franco) the successor and avenger to his late father's legacy. And then there was also Venom. Forced? Yes. Interesting? Maybe. Needed? Maybe not. Not only that, we got the Gwen Stacy plot line, which I could have done without to be honest. Maybe if they left out Venom and Gwen Stacy, this could have been a better movie. The ending death scene made me tear up and I cannot watch that part anymore without feeling a sense of sadness. I don't care if it was fake or forced; it got to me. My instincts and feelings paint a different picture when it comes to certain death scenes. In fact, I'm getting them now. But don't let that get to you. Try to watch this and avoid the later Spider-Man films with Andrew Garfield. And if you want something better, give the MCU Spider-Man films a go. I know I will soon!
