The reason I was disappointed by this movie is that each plotline is a good one. I love the Sandman plot; I especially love the Venom plotline, and the New Goblin deserved more than just a few pat scenes and an oh-so-heroic death. I feel like all three just clogged the movie up, it never really went anywhere on any of the plots because it was trying to keep up with all three villains/Spiderman, plus Peter/MJ.

The action, though, was excellent, and awesome CGI on the sandman. I thought of all the plotlines, venom was handled particularly well, with attention given not only to the effects on Spiderman, but on Peter as well. Overall, a good movie, but only for fairweather fans – hardcore fans will feel as though the movie didn’t do the comics justice, and non-fans might feel confused.
