Summer of sequels - Spider-man 3
Last night I finally got to see Spiderman 3, having wanted to see it for absolutely ages! It was an enjoyable film, and certainly matched expectations by not having a decent plot. However, the fun fight scenes (although some were drawn out a bit too far) and the rapid changes of plot direction kept me interested throughout. The venom character was particularly good, and the black costume special effects were exceptionally well done.
The relationship between MJ and Peter was a little over the top, and it came across as MJ been moody rather than having genuine issues with Peter. Their relationship problems were poorly dealt with in the film, and should have either been explored more or removed altogether. The was the odd bit of dodgy acting too, particularly from a reporter towards the end of the film.
Not sure if there’s going to be a 4th one, but if they do, it will probably be a flop. However, the next Fantastic 4 is something to look forward to!
