Three times the spidey = three times the disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (4 May 2007)

This is one of the weaker wide-release films to come out in recent memory. Even X-men 3, a series notorious for a lack of character development and depth, managed to make a more effective thematic statement than Spiderman 3. From predictable plot twists to campy dialog to repetitive emotional ploys, Spiderman 3's success will be limited to its box office gross and the admiration of middle schoolers and comic-book lovers. Sure the fight scenes are great, but the rest of the movie is painfully forced, like the writers had to invent new ways to make Peter Parker seem awkward.
Go see this movie, but adjust your expectations accordingly.
