Movie Review - Spider-Man 3

This film is being marked down harshly for it's need to re-write Spiderman 1. We saw who killed Uncle Ben. But suddenly the writer felt the need to invent a totally new person who had killed Uncle Ben, rewrote his already well established death and then have that person being a convicted criminal on the run. Wouldn't the very first place the police look be his old home? The open to the air particle accelerator was a laughable plot device too. He'd have been torn to pieces by the sand.

Along with the really bad science that a carbon based life form can be transformed into a silicon based life form. The whole new Green Goblin angle was really poorly explored and the question of where the new Goblin gadgets came from wasn't answered. The feel to introduce a new love interest in Gwen was pretty pointless, even if it did mirror a scene from a previous movie. I personally always thought Venom was Spiderman taken over. Not this Brock person, whoever he was.

The films set pieces are incredibly weak, ambling from big fight to big fight with no point or reason at all. The film is heavy on action and special effects but very low on story, plot and any attempt to further the Spiderman movie series. Watch with brain turned off.
