Simply terrible

Rating: 2/10 (5 May 2007)

First off, I am not a Spider-Man-fan. I didn't like the story of the first two parts, but after watching the trailer of this one, I was sure it was worth watching. Well, I got disappointed. Badly.
Spider-Man 3 was most definitely the worst movie I watched during the last months, mainly because of the following reasons: The movie is loaded with different parts of a fairly complex story that are supposed to intertwine and intersect towards the end, but that just fails. There is way too much to be told, and most of it is simply unnecessary. There are some good parts though, like the character changes due to the alien stuff and the different levels the movie is trying to access then ("everybody CAN make the right choices"), but that's it.
The acting really is bad. Tobey Maguire is acting like a dork throughout the whole movie, and while it fits during his "good-guy-scenes" it becomes unintentionally hilarious when he changes into a goth kid trying to impress all kinds of women on the streets. This leads me to the next point: The behavior of most characters is beyond my comprehension. MJ is acting incredibly stupid, not being able to decide between Peter and Harry and jumping back and forth without having any reasons for actions. Peter at least has the excuse to be partly influenced by that alien stuff, but still, his behavior is absolutely not understandable. Harry tries to kill Peter and then all of a sudden he decides that they are still friends, just because his butler tells him that his dad actually was a bad guy. Oh wow, of course, than the guy who ruined his face must be his friend; right. Especially towards the end everybody's sorry again, forgetting everything that happened before, just because Spider-Man needs a happy ending and there were obviously only five minutes left to finish the whole story off. Finally, the 2 second scene where Spider-Man lands in front of a screen-size American flag should clarify the level of this movie...
I'm sorry, I tried to get into it, but it definitely didn't work out... Horrible movie, that's all I can say.
