Bad. Did I mention bad? Bad. Bad. As in not good.
The plot was lame. By having three villains, you didn't have enough time to concentrate on one good through line. Even then, it wasn't about his conflicts with the villains, it was more about his personal problems. I came in expecting a super-hero action adventure film and saw instead Telanovella. And not a good one either.
Spoilers. Let's just say the film is bad and you can stop reading.
What's up with Spiderman reconciling with the Green Goblin. He's one Spiderman's arch-enemies. You don't reconcile with your arch enemy. It doesn't matter how much you love him in a purely physical way, you don't make up. Maybe it's my own homophobia, but the end scenes were just a little too homoerotic for me. Especially when they were both on the flying sled together.. Blech
Venom? I wanted him to be cool. I thought they were keeping Topher Grace out of the ads so they could add a little mystery to his character, so that it would come as a shock when Topher becomes Venom. Not so much. He almost seemed an afterthought. Grace's motivations for his actions all seem really week. Sure he's a go getter, but he's a whiny go getter.
And what's with all the crying. Spiderman is a super hero!! Yet, everytime we see Peter have an emotional crisis out come the waterworks. Stop. Super Heroes don't cry. You don't see Hiro crying do you?
They need to take off about ten years before they do a next. They need to stop seeing Uncle Ben get shot at the car. they need to stop having Aunt May stop spouting feel good sayings all the time. Remember how funny it was when she told Peter he was no superman? They need to find a big threat and they need to have Spiderman defeat it. That's how these movies work. Grrrr
