Spider-Man 3

Okay - let's make this short.
This picture sucks!
Bad.

Lamia had movie vouchers left and so we went to see "Spider-Man 3". I told her that it would be okay with me to watch "The Good Shephered" or something else more sophisticated. But we ended up with Spidey - unfortunately, I have to say.

Now - I love Spidey. Spidey's my hero.
And yes, of course, these super hero movies are always corny. But this one is too corny - and not because of the appearance of the Sandman (hoho, wink, wink ... good one! =:) ).
Tobey Maguire, who had already trouble acting in the previous two movies, finally managed to make a total fool of himself in this set and the guy who wrote the script sure didn't do Tobey a favour.

What the hell was this We-All-Luv-Spidey rubbish about? What the fuck is Gwen Stacy doing there, all of a sudden? There is no way she can be interwoven with the future plots in a useful way, now that MJ already fell down Washington Bridge in the first movie which can be considered a tribute to "The Death of Gwen Stacy" in the comic series.
I liked the black costume bit (have not come that far in the comics), but the person Peter becomes when wearing the black Spidey suit underneath his street clothes is just a couple of notches too much of acting for poor Tobey. Besides, the changed quiff looks really idiotic.
Some nice f/x on the Sandman, yes, but this is not enough to keep me from yawning. While the first two parts made entertaining popcorn movies, the third one is rather boring.
James Franco, though having no chance to rescue anything in his role as Harry Osborn, the Playmobil heir of the Green Goblin, still acts in the best scene in the movie - as a chef in his penthouse kitchen together with Mary Jane (beautiful Kirsten Dunst).

I can hardly understand why it has been said, that this one is so far the best movie of the trilogy. Bollocks - it is by far the worst. Period!

Anyway, it introduces also Dr Connors, who I suppose will play a big part in Spider-Man 4, turning into the Lizard ('nuff said). Maybe they will combine this with the appearance of the Jackal, too, which could be some way of killing and reviving Gwen Stacy, who knows?

Either way a big disappointment. Maybe I had my hopes too high up after reading more than 4000 pages of Spider-Man comics in the last months, but I would have been happy if they had just kept the level of the previous pictures.

Well - I'll have to hope for number 4.
