| While the acting was okay, it was nothing like Molina's Dr. Octopus. Having three bad guys just left the plot going in conflicting directions; like they wanted to squeeze in a bunch of Spider-Man bad guys because they realized they probably wouldn't get to do a 4th movie.
The special effects were pretty good, although I find it hard to believe that Spidey could take that much physical abuse with only a few scratches.
What really bugged me was the storyline. We're supposed to believe the Peter and MJ are made for each other, but after this dreck you feel like they are both rather mental and would be better off going their own ways and growing up a little. In fact, it would make a lot more sense to see Peter hook up with Ursula, the landlord's daughter.
What also bugged me was the whole continuation of the Green Goblin storyline, with its father/son conflicts. Really, this was all settled in the second movie, there was no reason to bring it up again, going back through all the motions again. There's over 30 years of Spider-Man history to call upon, and they had to rehash a plotline from a previous movie? That's being truly creatively DEAD.
I only see a few movies a year these days and I'm sorry this was one of them. |
