Spider-man Month - Mini review: Spider-man 3

Oh boy, Spider-man 3, considered by most fans to be the worst of the trilogy. Great… In case you haven’t been reading my previous reviews, here’s what I think of the first 2: THEY BOTH SUCKED!

Hammy dialogue, an unlikeable protagonist with an even less likeable love interest, a shallow aunt and a range of iconic if still 1-dimensional supporting characters. Hell, Harry Osborn is thus far the most interesting character of the 2 movies and he’s being set up to become the THIRD SCHITZOPHRENIC VILLAIN OF THE SERIES! Seriously, if you cut out most of the filler, the FIRST TWO MOVIES ARE BASICALLY THE SAME PLOT! Science creates a villain, Peter Parker struggles with his powers, his social life sucks, he flirts with Mary Jane and she gets kidnapped a lot and the villain kills himself and has a change of heart at the last minute. So, with that in mind, I’ve come prepared for Spider-man 3 with plenty of alcohol… I have a feeling I will need it

#17 Spider-man Month - Spider-man 2

I don’t want to review this one… But it’s Spider-man month

And it’s time to dig into Spider-man 2, considered by many the best Spider-man film out there (I have no idea what people are on when they watch this film and think that but I’d like some right now!)

OK, a little detail. Just because I’m reviewing this one as a rage review, does not mean I believe it to be the worst. Going into this, I don’t even remember Spider-man 3, agreed by most of the Raimi fanbase to be the worst of the 3  (I have now watched it and yes, it’s terrible, shockingly, see my review of that later this week). I chose to review this one as a rage review, mostly because this happens to be the only one I’d watched prior to the Spider-man month announcement. I’d do rage reviews for all of them but I lack the time, so you’ll have to make do with this one. Besides, when you hear that a film is the greatest but it still turns out to be terrible, yeah, that inspires some rage.

So after the success of the original Spider-man film, Spider-man 2 was announced with the original cast returning, and Sam Raimi continuing to direct. It wasn’t quite as big a success at the box office, not breaking the $800million mark this time. So, is it better than Spider-man 1? Of course it f*cking isn’t, let’s take a look.
