It was like somebody punched me in the gut. All the anticipation and all the build-up from the first two films – that were the best comic adaptations ever – and the most pleasure I got on Spidey 3 night was finally getting to pee after the movie finished. I’ve slept on it since then and there were some good things in the movie. Sandman was well played, well mostly. The actions scenes were pretty cool, well, mostly – when they happened. Venom looked kind of cool, well, from the little we saw of him. Sam Raimi has become my fallen idol.
For some well rounded reviews – that jive with a lot of what I feel but still give the film some credit, check out these links. Well worth the read whether you have seen the film or not.
These fellows kick butt on reviews. I only wish Mr. Raimi would have consulted *someone* like these folks – rabid fans but still fair – before phoning in this sequel.
Should you see it? Well, it’s better than Highlander 2. Read the reviews, go in with low expectations (and perhaps a bit drunk), and you might be moderately amused.
