The only Spiderman movie i enjoyed was the first one. To me they should have stopped there. I really did not like this movie, or the second. The only Spiderman movie i enjoyed was the first one.

Harry, reading your comment re: letting Raimi loose in Spidey 4 makes me annoyed. My opinion of Spiderman 3 isn't very high. Then again, it doesn't really have to be for me to watch it more than once. That's the magic of superhero films for me: If they're good, all the better for it. If they suck... Well, I can live with that, and always hope for a better sequel. I can even enjoy watching X-Men 3, cos it feels like a milestone end of a good trilogy. Aw man.

Especially the fight between Spiderman and Sandman in the underground train place. It was Eddie Brock being a complete dork that irritated me the most, he was supposed to be ultra-competitive and I don't feel his actor did him justice.

When I first watched Spidey 3 whenever I started liking it, something stupid would happen like the walk-dancing or the bar scene or the "Sand-man killed your parents and the guy helping him was actually just an accomplice" bit. It has a few rare moments of good action but they are by the overwhelming sense of Hollywood constriction. It's like Sam Raimi wanted to make it the way he wanted but was held back at every effort until he resigned defeat. It's like letting a kid go choose something to add to the shopping but they're not allowed anything with sugar in. That being said, supposedly Raimi wanted The Vulture in Spidey 3 and was not happy with the producer forcing his hand and putting a quite frankly absymally envisioned Venom into the film. I'd have much rather had Ben Kingsley playing the Vulture than Topher Grace playing Venom. Hopefully people will let Raimi have his creative freedom he so desperately needs to make Spidey 4 as good as it can be. Anyway yeah, Spidey 3's a film enigma. If I had to choose good or bad I'd say bad because making the symbiote emo was incredibly stupid. I’m in the same boat as you.
