Spiderman III

I had low expectations for this film after reading so many poor reviews but I actually enjoyed it. It did loose it's focus and tried to be too many things and ended up being ill defined, but as far as an action movie with lots of eye candy it did a good job. My main gripe is we know the characters too well to have them fit in with the stuff that happened in the movie, people's actions swung so wildely that literally anything could happen, so all the character's cohesion was lost, not to mention Peter Parker and MJ both acted so much like jerks you gave up caring about them.

Even so it was not that bad of a movie. I enjoyed the CGI stuff and if it was not for the fact that we are all (over) familiar with the backstory it would have been a good B grade. This would have been better with superheroes we don't already know the backstory of, as it is I don't think it quite made it, so I'm saying a B-, or a C if you are a big Spidey fan.
