Jumping the shark

Rating: 3/10 (4 May 2007)

I am not sure whether this film jumped the shark at the scene with Parker dancing in the jazz club or Spiderman running heroically in front of the stars and stripes. The franchise after being praised for being fresh and different, now seems to have reached the dizzy height of 'Batman and Robin'. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two films and feel very disappointed by this next episode. It is a shame that they have taken a complex villain like Venom and turned him into what is essentially a pantomime villain. 'Where is Venom, he's behind you'. Bruce Campbell was easily the most memorable thing in the whole film, apart from maybe all the quivering lips at the end!
