I've actually come to think of this as the most emotionally complex and ambitious superhero film, besting even Hulk, Superman Returns, and yes, my beloved Spider-Man 2.

The most expensive movie ever made is paradoxically the most blasé film I've ever seen. While I found Army of Darkness alienating, here Raimi's indulgence gives the film a sense of character as heartfelt as it is shameless. For every moment of incoherence, incongruity or contrivance you'll find something inexplicably endearing, be it a mournful pile of sand becoming a man or two friends playfully making an omelette.

Never was much of a Spiderman fan in pulp or cinematic form, but this one was really the pits. Rami borrowed liberally from near and far giving us a regurgitated action movie with the oddest of super-villains: Thomas Hayden Church and Topher Grace. Come on, Sammy you can do better than this.

Really weird blockbuster. The Venom storyline was a mistake, and lacked any of the dramatic heft present in Spider-Man 2. But the Harry Osborne thread was the best thing in all three films, excellently supported by Franco's great performance. The Sandman was handled surprisingly well, aided by another good Church performance. A compromised film, but more ambitious, emotional, and worthwhile than most superhero films.

You're better off fucking shit than fucking with this fucked-up shit! Fuck this shit! You don't know shit about how fuckin' shitty this fuckin' shit is! It's so bad it sucks. It's so fucking suck it fucks! And I...can't take it anymore. The best way to sum this up is to recite a very famous quote from William Shakespeare: "Fuck it."

As all Spider-Man fans know, this is a story with incredible potential, and maybe the best part of the saga. The movie on the other hand, fails outrageously as it diverts strangely from the comic books and ruins the most awesome spider-man villain Venom, by trying to combine the characteristics of all the symbiotes into one. NUMBER THREE on my list of MOST DISAPPOINTING MOVIES.

If every movie I rated started with 5 stars, the appearance of Topher Grace would instantly kill 3 of them.

Would've been much more interesting if Raimi had chose to explore Parker/Venom's narcissism and psychopathy with a bit more interest and understanding rather than falling into the stupid cliches of the terms.

I would've liked it a lot more if Venom hadn't been forced into it. I know this movie gets a lot of hate but I still find it entertaining.

As dumb as the film gradually became, I kept thinking to myself, "Hey, no worries, Venom is gonna show up sometime and then the movie will totally kick ass again." I don't know who the hell the filmmakers think they are, giving probably one of the greatest villains in comic book lore only ten minutes of total screen time, before wasting him like a little punk in the end.

For the record, both stars I gave this movie are for Bryce Dallas Howard as Gwen Stacy.

i may be the only one but i loved this one. more than the second one! why? because it's about things i like. it has raimi written all over it. it has classic spiderman written all over it. amnesia as plot device? GENIUS!! and happens all the time in 60s comics (through surgery, lsd or magic) good guy gone bad? AWESOME!!! a classic tool for kiddy tension (worked on temple of doom, and superman 3 at least for me)
