Not as bad as advertised

Rating: 7/10 (20 June 2015)

Although the critics and some fans ripped this entry into the Spider-Man franchise as the worst of the Sam Raimi directed pictures, it's still an action packed entry as a superhero flick. Peter Parker thinks his life is good as his girl Mary Jane has gotten a part in a Broadway musical. However, his best friend, Harry Osborne is still hellbent on vengeance for the death of his father, the Green Goblin. A two-bit criminal, who has been discovered to be the REAL killer of Ben Parker gets exposed to a scientific experiment while trying to escape from the police, and his molecular structure has been changed to that of sand. In the meantime, while the city celebrates Spider-man, an alien symbiote crashes to earth and invades Peter's costume, creating an entity that brings out Spider-Man's dark side. When Peter rids himself of the costume, an ambitious photographer takes over the costume and becomes the entity Venom. It takes teaming with harry to defeat the Sandman and Venom. Although some of the action is far fetched, the action makes up for it.
