Well I really liked it a lot. I did think it has 1 too many villains but that was hardly Sam's fault as the studio forced Venom on him and I think he did an admirable job juggling so many different story lines. Also, the action was great and there are some fantastic comic moments. Overall I thought it was a really good movie. What did you think?

I hated it. Course I didn't like 2 either. I was a bit disappointed in the "Harry" thing - that was way too easy. I thought the effects were fantastic, but there were parts that the whole audience was laughing at - and they weren't funny parts. You know the ones I mean, pretty much anytime someone was sad or crying.

It was ok. The effects were good but overall, I'd give it a B. Maybe.

It definitely needed to end with the funeral and save the 'reunion' for another film.

I only saw half of it because I went to the movie theater on a whim. What I did see I liked, but I will have to see the whole thing to have an opinion.

It was good but worth seeing but not good enough. I felt much like I did after Superman Returns. I liked it I don't think I'll but the DVD. I've seen it and that was good enough.

it was ok, there was one scene where it really showed why Toby will NEVER play batman, (can't brood worth a shit),

Select to view spoiler:


and the fight with harry in his "secret goblin lair/lab" when he catches the bomb,throws it right back, keeps on walking, gave me a definate Mal/Angel Flash.



also, If any one here is familiar with SPAWN, and has seen Spidey 3, correct me if i am wrong, but doesn't this movie, and the way they animated the venom symbiote, really solidify that during this run of the book, is when McFarlane really hashed out his ideas for Spawn (Todd McFarlane DID work for Marvel at that time, and on spidey)
also when they finally get around to making the better SPAWN movie, the effects house, need to so contact the folks who did Venom.

the end.

oh, and i'll probably end up buying the dvd, if for no other reason than i already bought 1&2, and i'm just anal enough to have to have to complete the collection.

I was really enjoying the film, was finding it wryly funny, the action scenes were great, I was intrigued by the new characters and all that stuff. And, then

Select to view spoiler:


the scene on the bridge with Mary-Jane and Peter happened



It was meant to be such an emotional scene yet I couldn't stop giggling. Then, it all went downhill from there for me. Peter Parker's emo fringe, the final battle, the obligatory "elderly person summarising the situation sooo slowly", all the emotional moments just washed over me without striking a chord. My favourite film of the series is still Spiderman 1 and if the rest of the franchise is like this, it will always be my favourite.

Roll on the next Batman film is what I say

I thought it was enjoyable but definitely had problems. Too many villains. Odd plotting at points, perhaps due to editing.

Select to view spoiler:


What the heck is with Sandman's character? "I accidentally killed someone. Rather than rob a bank in a different city I'm going to kill Spider-man. To do so I'm going to kidnap and kill an innocent woman. Oh wait, the evil alien spider-thing died, I'm not going to kill Spider-man after all."

That final scene with Sandman, what was Peter thinking? Best friend dying, and with all the commotion there's probably an ambulance waiting in the crowd, but Hey Marko, wanna chat? What, get Harry some help and track you down later? Nahhhh.

Is any guy dumb enough to re-enact a special moment with another women, publicly, with his girlfriend in the audience? He's planning on proposing to MJ, but hey, plant one on me Gwen.

The ending: he's beaten up the bouncers and attacked one of the singer/waitresses, but isn't banned from the club. (And I don't think that last song was jazz, but that's really nitpicky.)

Was Harry's amnesia really even necessary? Seemed contrived to me.

The following might have been homages to other movies but I found them distracting:

Peter's "Little Nicky" bad-boy haircut.
Harry's "Back to the Future" boogie-board (really feel this was just done for marketing).
The "Mummy"-like effects of the Sandman (quick, call Brendan Fraser!)



Don't think it was a waste of my money, but even though I'd lowered my expectations after hearing some bad reviews I was still a bit disappointed.

Just read today that the studio has signed on for 3 more sequels. You know what I'd like to see in the next one, more of the girl living across the hallway from Peter. Her character I find interesting.
