Sam Raimi, where did you go so wrong?
-
Not half as bad as I remember, but still only half as good as it should be.
On the side, the last 10 minutes of the movie are great, and so is each scene featuring Rosemary Harris's Aunt May. I tear up at each and every one still.

Weakest movie of the trilogy. Thought it was a bit too long especially the part where Peter Parker becomes a playboy.

This isn't as bad as I remember, don't get me wrong, it's still a vile piece of shit but it has decent-ish moments, like that scene... actually, it doesn't.

It's taken me a few viewings, but I finally appreciate why Spider-Man 3 is considered the clear franchise low-point. The screenplay is a complete muddle, it's hard to ascertain any aesthetic or thematic through-line, the picture feeling like a rehash of the previous entries made by committee. The effects are good and a few Raimi moments of slapstick elegance creep through, but on the whole it's unimpressive. Performances range from mediocre (Maguire), awful (Franco) to just plain miscast (Topher Grace occupying a needless character). Laughable third entry is a slog, and after two respectable previous efforts a pitifully misguided end to the Raimi era. [D+]
