Spidey comes back swingin'! The third installment in the beloved blockbuster series may be the biggest, splashiest and best one yet.
  • Spiderman 3 = FEH!

    Stephanie Zacharek must have been surrounded by many of the same morons I was who laugh at the most insipid things and are so IQ deficient that they stoop to that most tired and annoying of movie theatre poor etiquette and that is talking back to the screen. UGH!!! And apparently these morons must have influenced her review. The only thing I could find remotely interesting in all of the proceedings was the "sandman" character which must have cost a bundle on special effects. Yes, the action/fight scenes were good and yes, the special effects were good. But we should expect that in a summer movie of this caliber and a superhero movie, at that. And by the way, how many times can we see the same fight/action scenes which really do begin to resemble each other after a while. And this film fell flat on its face every time it tried to inject humor into the story. I'm not sure how many times I groaned in displeasure. But the biggest defect I saw in the film was the script was just not very good. For all the damn money they spent on this film you would think they could hire a decent enough script writer who could come up with better plots and lines than were foisted on us in this very mediocre offering. I wouldn't recommend this film at all and since this is the film that begins the summer movie onslaught, I'm not very optimistic.
