Disappointing end to a Promising Series

Rating: 2/10 (22 May 2007)

My first bet was to give this a vote of 1 (Awful). But to be fair there were some good points - right now they are escaping me - but I am sure they were there.
Here are some quotes I heard from my friends. "Daddy - why are they dancing and where is the bad guy" - 11 yr old - from the mouths of babes...
If you want to see a bad remake of Grease go see this movie. If instead you want to see a Spiderman movie with a decent plot line, unhurried delivery and excellent character development then please restrict your viewing to Spiderman and Spiderman 2.
I still had to consider if I wanted to complete my collection of movies by buying this when it is eventually released but on closer consideration - I have to say NO - like X-Men 3 - this will be one movie never to grace my shelves.
High points (well promising): Sandman - very promising character; Goblin - very promising in what he could do; Venom - how I wanted to see more of this guy
Low points: Sandman - no real quality time spent on him; except for introduction; Goblin - again no real time spent on his development or delivery; Venom - still waiting to see more Parker-Venom - haircut; dancing; reminded me of a spotty spoilt teenager. Spidey-Venom - well the photos looked great but where is he?
In summary this movie really should have been delivered in 2 parts. Part 1 - Sandman and Goblin - more than enough bad guy here. Part 3 - Venom - just imagine how Peter could have played this out - minus the dancing and singing of course - pitiful... Nice to see the Cure are making a comeback though.
