** SPOILER WARNING **
How disappionting. After seeing the first two movies I was expecting something amazing, especially seeing as this is expected to be the last. What can i say? I was always slightly worried about having 3 villians in one film. But its not even just 3, even Peter Parker becomes some what of a villain in this movie, I felt like i was being forced to hate his character. Unfortunately the Mulitiple villians were not carried out successfully in my opinion, Niether the Sandman or Venom ( especially Venom ) had enough screen time to make you actually care about them, something which had been done very well with the Green Goblin and Doctor Oct. The villain that works best here is Harry as the revamped Goblin, his emotional ties to Mary Jane and Peter are what gives him more impact than the others, but even then, his character isnt played out to the extent it could have been.
A major disappointment is Venom. He doesnt even appear in the movie, and im not even joking, roughly half an hour, fourty five minutes before the end. He isnt even realised that well. Bad cgi makes him look cartoon like, and ( for lack of a better work ) funny (?) looking. I was expecting something scary, and intense, but this is, however, not the case.
Corny, cheesy dialogue, with very little depth, doesnt help either. At one piont towards the end of the movie Harry has a conversation with his Butler about his father's demise in the first movie, and what the butler said, bewilderred me.. and just made me laugh. And whilst the fight sequences betweek Harry and Peter could have been amazingly intense, instead they are dismissed with bad dialogue, such as: " Im going to kick your little ass "
The fight sequences themselves arnt even done that well. The camera is jumpy, and the mtions are to fast and erratic for yuo to understand what is going on. Who is hitting who, what happenned there? Watch them in slow motion when the dvd comes out.
Anyway, I could rant on about this movie for ages, but the jist is, im shocked, At pionts it felt like the movie was being played out as a joke. Saying this though, there are still some reminents of the old movies, and their quality in this... you will just have to keep watch with a careful eye.
Anyways guys, let me know your opinions, I would love to hear!
