Spiderman 3 **Possible Spoiler alerts**

Lines:
Although I think they shoved a few too many characters and plot lines into one movie, I liked it. I am a bit disappointed that this will be the only one with Venom in it. He was a good villain. As waltz said, I'm not really sure why Gwen was in there either. But it did have the same feel as the other movies and I certainly liked it better than the second movie (which was good, I was just never a fan of Doc Oc).

Gryff:
I did not enjoy this movie much at all. The plot was somehow both overly convoluted and extremely shallow - why go to the trouble of introducing three villains if you're not going to explore any of them in any depth? The Sandman looked cool (dig the green stripes) but his character had absolutely nothing to him except that he needed money for his daughter and he was "not a bad guy", he "just had bad luck". Against popular opinion (I think?) I had high hopes for Topher Grace as Venom, but I just felt like I was watching Eric Forman be a smartass on That 70s Show most of the time (the scene where his photo is proved to be a fake almost got it right - more pathetic, less goofy). The emo hair was just a terrible, terrible idea, and the bit where Parker was doing the double-guns and dancing in the street was completely absurd and had me very confused about what kind of movie I was watching, honestly.

What really got me was how the movie just went nowhere. The Sandman was introduced, given a basic motive and then defeated. Venom was basically the same. Mary Jane was boring as usual (I've never like Kirsten Dunst for that role). Gwen Stacy was unnecessary. Harry was quite good mostly, but not done in depth enough, and there was that ridiculous resolution (see below). The whole black suit thing could've been a lot better if it wasn't played for so many emo gags (although I liked the cookie scene too, Duchess). I really do think they tried to cram too much stuff into the movie but ended up just skimming over too many important plot points and diluting the whole story.

The absolute worst part for me, though, was the atrocious deus ex machina moment with Harry's butler (who to make matters worse was played by a dude who really could not act his way out of a paper bag):

"OH BY THE WAY I FORGOT TO MENTION PETER DIDN'T KILL YOUR DAD"
"O RLY?"
"YA RLY"
"WELL I GUESS WE SHOULD BE FRIENDS AGAIN"

The bit about Uncle Ben was similar:

"OH BY THE WAY I DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL YOUR UNCLE"
"K I FORGIVE YOU"

Having said all that, I really liked Bruce Campbell's cameo ("I love romance! I am French!").

Blue Kitty:
I remember sitting in the theater thinking the same exact thing about Grace.  Hell, when Spider-man smashed his camera I thought Donna was going to pop up and ask him what was wrong.

Overall I thought the film was okay, though I thought that they had tried to much and given so little

CmonMiracle:
I saw it and I thought it was okay...not really as good as the second.

I don't really like Kirsten Dunst, her teeth bother me, so more screen time in this movie was a thumbs down for me.

I can't really say I liked the casting of Howard either, she's just not pretty enough to be "modeling" and way too pale to be a blonde.

That said, I really enjoyed most of the camp stuff and the emo-pete and the restaurant part.

I did NOT like the last fight scene. It felt too lame...too many one-liners with Harry and Pete. I really liked the first fight though through the alleyway. And for some reason, the one line that cracked me up the most was:

Waitress: How's the pie?
Harry: SO good. *Goofy grin*

Johnny C:


Gryff the best part of the Sandman bit is that we were all treated to the sight of a cloud of fucking sand drifting into the sunset.
