How can you live up to such expectancy?

Rating: 5/10 (8 May 2007)

Waiting for this movie since Spider-man 2 was released may be my fault. This obviously stretched out movie could have done without some of the quirkiness that Tobey Maquire brings. He already has a nerd quality being himself. It was so over the top and took away from the story line. If the director/producer's intent was to merely entertain and not to tell a great story then they accomplished their goal. The Spider-man trilogy ends on a very un-climatic bang or should I say whimper. I hope they don't end this franchise this way. I don't want to have to wait 10 years for a resurrection like the Batman franchise. The writer's should have explored Spider-man's dark side as the new Batman franchise did. It's all in the actor's face sometimes. Tobey Maquire doesn't have the same flare as Christian Bale. To compensate, Spider-man needs more action and high flying swinging. And lastly, leave music to musicals.
