Spider-Man 3 swings for the fences, but does not hit a home run

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2007)

In Spider-Man 3 (SM3), we see a lot of stuff we wanted to see. Sandman, Venom, Black Spider-Man, and Death. What these things wrapped around, was what killed it for me.
SM3 has a lot of action scenes and some comical scenes. But the problem with SM3 is that the story was trying to be put together into something that didn't fit. Like Sandman being connected to Uncle Ben's death. Pssh. We also didn't want to know that he was a nice guy. Many people wanted to see Sandman, like in the comics, tearing up town and being a bad a$$ as usual, not trying to save his daughter. Which I'm not saying is wrong, but is wrong for a movie that sticks to the comics.
Another problem with the movie was the LONG sequences of no action and luvy duvy stuff or just hard times with Peter. It was not boring, just not needed. It was also funny when Peter danced like John Travolta, but I'll just leave it at that.
I also hated venom. Wtf!!! were they thinking. We all know Venom, muscle built, big motha f*cka, bad a$$ and acting like he was king of the castle. And then to see this. A little wimp looking dude, Topher Grace, inside the suit and not even for a good purpose. Not to kill, but the embarrass Peter. I also hated the look of Venom, his head was awesome but the rest of it just looked like a black suit and a Venom head. Nothing else. That really disturbed me to look at that.
Now away with negative Nancy. I want to talk about what i liked. Bad A$$ SM walking around, beating up Sandman and taking down Harry. It was b-e-a-Utiful. I don't want to spoil much but when SM punched a hole in Sandman's chest, you knew somethins wrong there In the end, SM3 had its disappointments and its really cool action. I hope SM4 has some better sequences where nothing is happening. The end of the movie was like the end of the 1st one, and i liked that. If you didn't see the first one, then i wouldn't spoil it for you, but if you didn't see the first one...what are you doing seeing SM3??!!!
