Spider-Man 3

Spider-Man 3....I wanted it to be good. I know going in how the AICN people felt about it...but i went anyway.


I didn't realize that my ticket price translated into a dollar per minute of Venom...

Let's start off with the positive: Pete= hot emo, Venom is deliciously evil, fight scenes= awesome, James Franco...

Everything else: absolutely horrible!
Seriously, emo/evil/whatever he was Spidey was just pathetic. Seriously, Peter Parker has to be the weakest, wimpiest hero ever.

And the PP/MJ thing...I am so over it. It slows down the movie and is so pathetic.

Sandman, I felt, was the absolute wrong choice of villian. You feel bad for his circumstances, but what happens to him is so lame, and such a cop out.

As is the appearance of the symbiote from a meteor...duex ex machina anyone?

James Franco is amazing in this film, despite his lame amnesia...he is so deep and menacing, he's almost as delicious as Venom, and really is the only villain fleshed out.

Bryce Dallas Howard is amazing as Gwen Stacy...even if she is only around for like, 15 minutes. So much could have been done with her.

Venom...what can I say about Venom...I'm not gonna lie, I only went for Venom...and I only got like, 20 minutes. I wanted so much more, and got nothing. So much could have been done...

Which is really the theme of the film: so much could have been with the characters. I would have preferred if the film contained only Sandman and introduced Gwen. Then, have the film end as Venom is born, and have his deliciously, sarcastically, evil self be the focus of film 4.

It feels as if they knew that this would be the last film, and wanted to get everything people loved from the comics into it...thus leaving the viewer feel lost.

This is the first time I think I've recommended not seeing a movie. Honestly, see another movie and see the last 30 minutes of Spidey...it'll be a much better use of your money.
