Given the hype, I found it a bit dissapointing. I left the theater after Spiderman II utterly satisfied (the last 5 minutes of that movie was beautiful and the perfect ending. This movie just shaking my head.
Just a lot of MJ whinning, Peter crying and a lame Sandman character. This 3rd one was really disappointing. It should have been really dark.
While watching the movie I was hoping Frank would show up as one of the bad guy and beat the snot out of Peter Parker. That's my comment. Skip it: With all eight eyes of this "Spider" on something different, the film is crazily uneven and unable to get its excitement or its psychology in place.
(Peter, MJ and Harry have always had a complicated thing going, but "3" can't decide how anyone feels about anything.) The corny, gee-whiz elements of the original installment have also returned and temper some of the fantastically choreographed action sequences. Catch it: For the unusual scenes of Parker acting like a strutting, finely dressed, tough-guy stud.
All he has to do now is lose the squeaky voice and it could be the premiere episode of "Pimp My Superhero." Bottom line: While generally entertaining, "Spider-Man 3" is like a boomerang in a basement. It bounces all over the place, occasionally hits something solid and never settles in.
Bonus: Word of advice: If you're running from the law and take cover in a "Particle Physics Test Facility," don't be surprised if you convert into a no-longer-human super-villain. Hey, Sandman; what did you think was going to happen? is the metromix movies producer.
