Not as good as the first two, but still very entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (4 November 2007)

Expectations for this movie were high considering that the first two were so off the hook. I think this third installment suffered just a little bit from trying to cram essentially four movies into one (Spiderman vs. Sandman, Harry Osborne as the second Green Goblin, the alien costume saga, and Spiderman vs. Venom). I still have to hand it to the cast, because they do such a great job of capturing the true personalities of the characters in the way that Stan Lee first envisioned them. The action scenes, which have a lot of special effects, are very good as well. There was one thing that I did not like. That was Peter hitting Mary Jane. I think they could have gotten their point across without having to resort to that. It's a line that didn't need to be crossed, and it actually made me not want to see her go back to him even though I know it was an accident.
