I really don't know what to say...

Rating: 6/10 (11 June 2007)

I have to be honest, I was waiting for this film since of heard of it being written, I could only think nothing but good things when I heard venom was in it, as he is my favourite character of all time. But I'm sure you've read this on almost every other comment made, in every magazine, on every website, and on every TV show. Spider man 3, tries too hard, that's just it, all the critics want to see more character development in films, but this film shouldn't have had it. EXCEPT FOR VENOM. Venom is one of Spider-mans biggest enemy's and he had about 20 minutes of screen time. Whilst Sandman and Spiderman fought threw the whole film quite viciously, and at the end it's all solved by an apology. That I didn't like.
My first comment. The synviote that falls from the sky in what can only be described as a small asteroid and lands suspiciously close to peter parker, without him noticing. It's wrong. JJJ's son (an astronaut) brings to synviote back from mars originally.
My objection to other comments made. Yes Parkers spider sense didn't go off, anyone who has ever seen a Spiderman comic book with venom in it should no that venom is invisible to Spiderman's spidey sense.
The dancing scene. OK ill agree it was over blown a bit, and it just seemed an excuse to me for the actors to, well act. A few critics said before it was released that there was high hopes that it wasn't all special effects. Well it wasn't, and looks what happened. In defence to the scene, that actually happens in the comic books (the dancing and showing off) it is necessary to show how parkers character has changed, he's now an arrogant self absorbed fool who's willing to go to any lengths to make MJ feel bad because of what she did to him.
The crap dialogue. When Spiderman showed up to the final battle, two kids watching from the street say
"Wow!" "Awesome!"
Now ill agree not the most exciting or well acted lines I've ever heard, but those of you that complained, ill ask you to remember.
This is essentially a kid's film, although a 12, its still a fantasy.
Same goes for when he lands in front of the huge USA flag, yes it was so patriotic it made me bleed, but Spiderman is an American hero.
Although it may sound like I've done nothing but defend this film and then gone ahead and given it only a 6 out of 10, like my title says, I rally wasn't sure about this film, I watched it on the opening night, maybe I was expecting o much, My girl friend who hadn't really thought about the film before its release, absolutely loved it. But didn't understand the bell thing with venom at the end, and other things you wouldn't get if you didn't know the comics.
It's a shame really, if you no the comic books you'll look forward to the film to much, and if you don't you'll love the film but you won't understand it.
I hear there's going to be at least another 3 movies, let's hope there at the same standard as the first one shall we?
