Spider-Man 3: A Movie Review
In the third installment, we find Peter and Mary Jane together, both doing what they love and all is well. Then things start to go down hill - Harry goes all Goblin on Peter, Flint falls into a testing pit and becomes the Sandman and Eddie Brock is out for Peter's job. Add in the Stacy family [father police Captain and daughter Gwen] and you have a lot of story to tell.Good: The CGI work was pretty good - Harry/Peter's first fight and the crane vs building scenes were excellent while most of the Sandman stuff was just ok [a little bit better than the Mummy]. Bryce Dallas Howard was a good addition to the cast as Gwen. Bruce Campbell stole his scenes with his Maître d’ character. The concept of the storyline.
Bad: Spiderman 3 clocks in at a bulky 2:20 but it still wasn't enough time to properly develop all of the stories being developed in the film. Most of the major plotlines still need additional development. Peter dancing? Harry becomes too nice with a bump on the head.
Ugly: Unanswered questions - What happened to his "Spidey Scenes"? Where did the alien symbiote come from? Why does Venom have all of Spidey's abilities? What does the ending mean?
Overall probably my least favorite of the 3 Spiderman films and that is based mostly on the under development of the characters but after it made $148 million in its first three days here in the US and $375 million worldwide, I think they will make some profit on this film. And who knows maybe Sony can convince Sam, Toby and Kirsten to come back for a 4th [just next time maybe try the more is less tactic].
