That was an excellent review, and you hit on so many of my complaints so succinctly. I couldn't believe how much of 3 felt like re-hashes of 1 and 2.

Thanks!

And what the hell happened to his Spidey-sense?? He gets sucker punched like five times without anything "tingling."

I agree completely with your review! :)

I left a comment on the site, but I wanted to discuss the most evil character in the film.

The Butler. It took a while for it to sink in, but that guys like the anti-Alfred. "Hey, Harry, you know that psychotic rage that been making you insane an sending you off on murderous rampages, threatening innocent lives and putting you in incredibly dangerous situations for the last two years? Yeah, it's completely based on a fallacy. Parker didn't kill your dad. Sorry, maybe I should have mentioned that earlier."

If they were still handing out no-prizes, I'd surmise that the Butler gets everything in Harry Osbornes will. Yeah, let him put on the crazy armor and fly around the city on a rocket skateboard. The sooner he gets himself killed, the sooner it's a swinging butler's paradise up here in the penthouse. Oh damn. Harry's marbles are back. Hey Harry, you should really help spider man fight those two dangerous crazies. It's the right thing to do, and there's a pretty good chance you'll get killed. Par-tay!

I think you've come up with an excellent alternate origin for the Vulture!

Wow, yeah :)

Damn. It took a few days for that to sink in but you're right. He is a vulture.

Seems you felt pretty much the same way I did about the film.


Good review :)
