Couldn't have ended sooner

Rating: 1/10 (6 May 2007)

I am a major fan of comic books. Spiderman is no exception to this. One may think that this is the reason I hated Spiderman 3 so much.
It wasn't.
Okay, so it is true that it couldn't have ventured further from the plots of the comic books. Gwen Stacy is Peter Parker's fiancÃ©, not just a girl in his class who he saves. Harry doesn't turn into the next Green Goblin until after Gwen is dead and he himself is married with a child. Oh, and he actually commits suicide. Under no circumstances should Harry Osborn have been given a hero's death.
However, this movie was bad for other reasons too. MANY other reasons.
This is a simply a prime example of trying to fit too many plot lines into one movie and consequently not being able to thoroughly explain anything. Many people have remarked that Spiderman seemed to have lost his "spidey sense". This is actually true, though they film declined to explain why. Because the symbiote is from outer space, the spidey sense doesn't work with it. Hence, Peter cannot sense Venom. You grow attached to Sandman's daughter, yet at the end of the movie, she is still dying. Couldn't Peter have shown how much he truly forgave Sandman by somehow helping his daughter? I waited for lots of Venom action. I waited in vain. 15 minutes out of the 2 hours and 20 minutes had Venom. Talk about a disappointment.
However, even if none of these complaints were valid and all my corrections had been made, the half hour of EMO Spiderman was enough to make this one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
It would have been better if Peter had followed the trend of many Emo teenagers and decided that life was not worth living.
