Saw Spiderman 3, and it was easily one of the worst things I have ever seen.

Granted, I'm a comic purist, so things like Sandman killing Uncle Ben because otherwise the audience wouldn't care about the character which probably should have told the writers to use a different character, like maybe Venom in the actual movie and not the last 10 minutes, would piss me off. Because not only are they screwing with the goddamn origin, but it never happens in any media outlet and makes absolutely no sense, except to have that ridiculously homoerotic dialogue between the two at the end. I'm thinking the whole time, "Stop the foreplay, kiss him with tongue Sandy."

Or the fact that in every movie, Tobey has to lose the mask for the big fight sequence because he cannot show emotion otherwise. It really exposes his weaknesses as an actor by not being able to act without needing an excuse to have the mask ripped off. Hugo Weaving did V for Vendetta without a face and was amazing. The comic writers kept Spiderman's mask on for the fights and he showed emotion and motivation and they just used print.

I felt like I was watching a shitty Dennis Quaid movie that was named Spiderman for marketing purposes (which worked).

That said, Bruce Campbell was a sex tornado of awesome along with any scene with Jameson. But it wasn't enough to make me not hate the movie.

...and we're done.
