awful, just plain awful

Rating: 1/10 (8 May 2007)

although i didn't find the two first movies great, i still enjoyed them. With Venom added to the mix in the third installment i was quite excited to watch it. A few friends of mine had already watched it, and they had send me several warning flares. With the attitude: it can't be that bad, and i went into the cinema....
It was easily the worst movie of the year, and it candidates to the worst movie of the decade for me.
The beginning storyline mostly makes sense, Parker and MJ are building their relationship, and are having success, Spiderman is having great success. Somehow it just isn't portrayed so i feel it with them, as it was clearly meant to be. Stuff starts going wrong for them, Parker blacksuits and completely changes character. The doc says it emphasizes, but this was a complete turnabout, The Mask did this soo much better, this was probably the lowpoint in the movie, and the movie from this point was dead to me. I did stay to watch but it didn't help. Final battle was too predictable and grossed out to the extreme, starting with Spider landing in front of a big American flag, followed by the camera panning the awed crowd while they sigh and point, and cry, which they do multiple times during the fight.
The highlight was the french restaurant with Bruce, which lasted only about 5 minutes.
I say to you what i wanted someone to have said to me: Don't Watch This Movie, it will make you blind and infertile!
