An average movie

When this movie was released, it didn't get much love and it was added to the long list of disappointing 2nd sequels such as 'Alien 3', 'The Godfather 3' or even 'The Dark Knight Rises '(ok, I might be in the minority concerning the last movie I mentioned...). To be honest, I don't think it was actually so bad. To begin with, I wasn't really a fan of the previous 'Spider-Man' flicks. I mean, they were entertaining, that's for sure, but they were enough elements such as the terribly cheesy dialogues that really bothered me. So, I didn't watch this movie with the highest expectations like some others did. Anyway, in my opinion, the whole thing was pretty spectacular and Venom was sure a really badass villain even if, indeed, he was rather poorly developed without really blaming Topher Grace. I do agree that 3 bad guys was just way too much to handle, just like the two love interests. In my opinion, Sam Raimi was actually pretty much done with Spidey, he didn't even want to use Venom in the first place but gave in under pressure. Furthermore, I think it is also too much to ask for a director to come back every two years with yet another brilliant sequel. You should either give him more time or bring someone else with some fresh ideas. Anyway, in spite of its bad reputation, it was still a huge success at the box-office and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
