I have ben time and again amazed by Pixar's ability to make compelling stories around subjects that don't really lend themselves to a great movie to start with...While Toy Story, Monsters Inc. and Incredibles had still somewhat obvious choices, they also made movies about bugs, fish swimming about in the ocean, cars, a cooking rat and then a lonely robot! Leave it to them though, that by the end of it makes all complete sense and it actually doesn't matter that the film's protagonists are rather unusual...Hope you all mean what I am trying to say here
This movie had the potential to be so much more. Three villians which could probably carry a film each get reduced to some few minutes each. Also the sequences where Peter is possessed by the symbiont were ridiculous (going through the streets like an idiot, dancing like an idiot? Is this the aggressive Peter Parker?). This also parallels Superman 3, where Superman is affected by red kryptonite and has behaving unlike his usual self. And to think that there (one of the lesser Superman movies) it was even handled better than in such a critically highly praised franchise as the Spider-Man movies.I also remember how the audience was laughing in the cinema where MJ breaks up with Peter, and Peter started crying. Of course this scene was not intended to be funny. And why do we have to have, just before the showdown, Spider-Man in front of a big American flag? Do the filmmakers still have no idea, that this may be received well to some of the American audiences, but outside of the USA it is just groan-worthy.I hope the next Spider-Man movie is more balanced like the first two were.

I've Just saw the first two (I even have them ) and they were so awfull that nothing would have made me watch the third one.
But seriously a fourth one... He will fight who? The Nuclear Man
Sounds more like such kind of movies in general are not for you
Eh? The comic has been running since the 60s! They have loads of options and Spidey always had interesting villains.

It was a miss reference to Superman 4, because Tom had made a reference to the third one in his review . I know that a lot of ennemies are available for many other movies
