In Reply to: My Review. Here's something that may make YOU want to see it: I found it lacking. posted by Audiophilander on May 6, 2007 at 00:51:50:

This is the beginning of the end for this series, resembling what happened in "Superman 3, 4, ..." with forced humor and characters acting like infantile assholes (both Parker and Oswald Jr.). Clark is dead-on about all the implausible coincidences and unexplainable changes of heart. In addition, the actors aren't allows to express much, as their roles are mostly taken over by SFX. Compare what the villain roles were like for Davoe and Molina in "Spidey 1 and 2" to the short shrift Topher Grace gets (okay, he's the king asshole here). The best part in this film is when Betty Grant is torturing Jameson with her message buzzing to take his medicine. Heck, I vote for a film with a lot more Betty Grant (hubba, hubba!) and Parker, and a lot less Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy/Stefani. One final note: Parker almost cuts free of his past here in forgiving Marko for killing Uncle Ben, but Aunt Mae has to die (please!) to complete the transition. I say, do that and let Parker become a man.
