Spidey 3...The greatest battle lies within

Too much of a good thing may not be the best thing. Thats what happened to SpiderMan 3. Spiderman 1 was nice, Spiderman 2 was awesome...Spiderman 3 was just...alright. I went to watch on the opening day with quite high expectations..afterall this is the "rumoured" final episode in the spiderman series at least with the original cast members and also it took 3 years to make this compared to 2 years for spidey 2 which was great. However, it seems that the director got lost in this one. Trying too hard to introduce as many villians and characters at once probably knowing this is the last one he is directing. Alot of storylines seemed underdeveloped at the end and characters totally wasted. The much anticipated Venom was quite a disappointment considering it only appeared in the final half hour of the movie and didnt do much damage. The part about Gwen Stacy was also quite redundant. The special effects in this one seemed abit inferior compared to the second one. The much talked about "birth of sandman" sequence still looked very CG. The fight scenes this time round looked extremely jerky and badly choreographed. Lots of bumping around and you cant really see what was happening at times. Perhaps the best part of the show was how they resolved the Harry and Peter conflict..thats what I like most. The surprise ending is a clear indication that at least some people will not be coming back for Spidey 4 if there is one. Overall, its a good movie but just not up to expectations..anyhow its still a worthy ending to a great Spiderman trilogy.
