He never got as far as actually watching the movie!

Cunt! Go watch the latest Wayans Bros flick that you bought!

Spoilers ahead. Read only if you want to save ten bucks.

Spider-Man 3 was a shitty flick. There were one or two villains too many. The team-ups were completely illogical. The "drama" between Peter and MJ was awful. The Stan Lee cameo and the Spidey in front of the American flag was heavy-handed and cheesy. Once again, the Spider-Man franchise blows its load by killing of its villain - in this case, two villains. And the tension built up between Sandman and Spider-Man was wasted at the end - they might as well have just hugged and given the fanboys something to wank to. Spider-Man 3 might as well have been called Spidemo, what with all the black eyeliner Tobey was wearing (why not just cast Jared Leto in the next one?). A shitty flick all around...

What they could've done to make 3 better...

They had the opportunity to bank a movie by keeping Harry as an amnesiac - rebuild the friendship between him and Peter until the 4th or 5th flick and then watch it blow up as Harry regains his memory and becomes the Green Goblin, which makes for a solid, tragic "final" battle. Hell, you can create an interesting love triangle/square by having Peter date Gwen and Harry date MJ and have romantic tension all around as a backdrop for whatever tragic way they choose to end the movie.

Remove Sandman completely. Casual viewers don't know him and his "story" was so rushed no one had time to care. Make him a background villain if you must use him. Stop trying to find ways to use your CG budget. Bringing a movie in under budget is a good thing.

The Venom storyline had enough legs to be its own movie. Eddie's dating Gwen and in line for a staff position, only to have both essentially stolen by black costume-influenced Peter? There's your first half of the movie. The rest of the flick could have been Eddie getting the Venom suit and fucking with Peter now that Peter's life is in a bit of shambles. By getting rid of the Harry and Sandman subplots, you get a better developed flick that has great drama, great action, and nothing seesm rushed or forced.

No more fucking deus ex machina. The Osborn's butler suddenly telling Harry that Morman died by his own hands, and Aunt May's random visit, created a forced team-up that made no sense. Again, heavy handed and dumb.

Did we see the same movie?

Seriously.

The only thing that I might agree with you is that Sandman was superfluous. And even that wasn’t enough to detract from my enjoyment of the movie. As for Stan Lee’s cameo – it’s Stan Lee for fuck’s sake! His cameo is s’posed to come with a big vat ‘o cheese. That cannot seriously be considered a legitimate gripe.

As for MJ and Pete’s drama – I completely disagree with you. I thought it made totally sense, and to me, it did not seem forced at all. The angle with Harry and the jealousy also worked well and was in line with the comics- as was his death. The whole symbiote lead up was well done, even if the Venom part seemed a little rushed. And as NWM said, was there a body? No. And this is comic books for crying out loud – like a comic book death is ever permanent. I honestly can’t believe that so many of you found so many faults with this movie and found no enjoyment from it whatsoever.
