What a let down

Rating: 5/10 (5 May 2007)

Too Long, Too Flashy, Too Full.
After viewing Spiderman 3 last night I thought it was only fair that I broadcast my feelings about it.
Firstly its too long. It took about an hour to get going and by that point I was ready to walk out.
Secondly, I understand that after the previous 2 films they had a level of special effects to beat, but it just felt too fake!
Thirdly, was there a real need for the Sandman, The Green Goblin and Venom. The conflict between Spiderman and Venom would have been enough! Oh and WTF!!!!! With giving Peter Parker an EMO look when he's wearing the Venom suit???? And Bryce Dallas Howard??? Did she need to be in it either? Plus Kirsten Dunst singing? (well if that was actually her singing)
I think that Sam Raimi has tried to put too much into the 3rd instalment and by sticking to maybe just 2 characters (like Venom/ New Green Goblin) the audience may have actually cared what happened to them as by the end of the film all I cared about was the traffic leaving the flicks!!!!
