worth seeing but losing its charm a bit

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2007)

oki so im probably gunna piff some people off here, but i have to say i was a little disappointed with this movie.
I ADORE this kind of movie, and had me booked to see it on opening night. i did however leave feeling slightly let down.
the graphics as always are fantastic and fast paced.
the flaw i think came in the characters and the story lines. at the end of the day i just felt that there was TOO much going on. there was easily another movie in this, and what drew me to this movie was the whole dark side of spidey, which in the end turned out to be...well...corny badass. bad peter parker turned into some emo haired eyelined overly sexed character rather than some dark twisted mind. having said that there were a lot of laugh out loud moments.
there were probably 3 main story lines in this movie. the sandman story could have been a separate storyline in another movie, the relationship between peter and harry would have worked nicely as a side story to the main good spidey bad spidey but unfortunately the two stories didn't interact nearly as much as they could have.
it felt overly long, probably because they tried to cram 2 movies worth into one. i cant help but feel this really let the movie down from what it so easily could have been.
still worth watching, but not what was expected.
