I came out of the movie pretty dissappointed. But after a few days of digesting, I like it even less.
It’s too long, full of too much silly unimportant stuff, too much “telling” rather than “showing”, and once the big action sequences finally arrive I’d stopped caring.
Unlike other reviewers, I didn’t hate Mary-Jane in the previous movies, but hoo-boy did I hate her in this one. They should have cut just about every scene she was in, saved me half an hour (and two songs!) and tightened up the movie enough so it might have been enjoyable.
I give it a 5/10, and that’s generous. There’s a good movie in there somewhere, but it’s surrounded by silliness, a double-chinned Peter Parker, bad songs and a load of extra garbage.
Maybe they’ll fix it for the DVD. I wish they’d do that.
