The weakest link

Rating: 3/10 (3 August 2007)

Spiderman 3 is by far the weakest movie of the Marvel Comics super- hero. Depsite the overwhelming hype it received, it failed to deliver. Publicity on its own fails to compensate for a great movie. This calibre of movie typically received widespread publicity which is clearly not justified.
The storyline is well written, but executed poorly. The movie though feels like an epic as it is 2 and half hours, which could easily been condensed. Some unnecessary scenes could have been eradicated. The pace of the story is too slow, filled in gaps with some irritating and baffling scenes. It took too long for the main villains Sandman and Venom to burst into the scene. By the time the movie introduced the villains, the movie was more than mid-way through the movie.
The characterisation of the movie is really bland. Sandman and Venom could have been further developed. With Venom, being the weakest character with no history underlying his character at all. Instead he growls like anything and scares everyone with his intimidating looks. Is this the rocky horror show if you get what I mean?
Spiderman 3 is the weakest link. The expectation of Spiderman 4 does not look promising at all with a relatively weak Spiderman 3. How can the story be developed? Who are the main arch villains? Surely story material will have dried down considerably as proved with the movie reviewed.
