Entertain Me with Spiderman 3

Going in to see Spiderman 3, I definitely had some high expectations. I loved the first two movies and was hoping that the third wrapped up the trilogy nicely. One of the reasons that I probably liked the movies was that everytime Spiderman movies came out, the number of questions of "Do you know who you look like?" went exponentially up...The answer is Tobey Maguire, by the way, but I'm much prettier...

After 2+ hours of Spiderman 3, I left mostly happy and somewhat sad at the movie overall. There definitely were some excellent scenes between Peter/Spiderman and Harry/New Goblin. Other than that though, I didn't think that the other villians - Sandman and Venom - were necessary at all. Some scenes with those villians were interesting, but others just added plot lines that weren't necessary.

And I really believe that overall the movie was hurt by having too many plot lines for the audience to follow. Let's count shall we?

1. Peter and Mary Jane's relationship
2. Peter/Spiderman and Harry's/New Goblin relationship
3. Peter's revenge trip against Sandman for killing Uncle Ben
4. Spiderman turning into Black Spiderman
5. Spiderman vs. Venom

I think that's just way too many storylines for a movie. There probably were a few additional ones that I can't remember as I write this tonight, but I think you get the point.

Overall, I'll give Spiderman 3 a grade of a C, while I would give Spiderman 1 a grade of an A and Spiderman 2 a grade of a B.
