Spiderman 3 full movie 20147/17/2023 ![]() There are a few times I like Peter in this movie, like when he rescues some kid from being harassed by neighborhood bullies and walks him home, or during the Times Square sequence, when he tries his best to approach Electro and talk him down, and when that doesn’t work he runs damage control and tries to nip things in the bud as quickly and safely as he can. Peter also makes a number of weird decisions in this movie that don’t exactly endear the audience to him, like letting a high-speed chase spiral further out-of-control for several minutes so he can stop and tell bad jokes to the Rhino, or stalking Gwen around the city, spying on her, several times a day every day ever since they broke up, which the movie just casually throws out there and never brings up again (I guess I was on point when I made that “Twilight” comparison last time). In the span of one movie, Peter has been reduced from a well-rounded and engaging character to a one-dimensional sad-sack, which ironically makes it a lot less effective when Gwen actually dies in the last ten minutes and we’re meant to be moved by a montage of Peter mourning her. And angsting about how people don’t like Spider-Man. Angsting about how he wants to help Harry, but he can’t know what will happen if he gives Harry his magic spider blood. Angsting about how he wants to know more about his missing parents, but his investigation has unfortunately hit a dead end. In this film, Peter spends 90% of it angsting about how he wants to be with Gwen, but he can’t be with her because of her dad, but he still pursues her anyway. He had a lot of inner conflict, but he was also pretty proactive when it came to dealing with his problems, and he was always hard at work trying to solve a mystery. In “The Amazing Spider-Man”, Peter was spry, outspoken, snarky, determined, amiable, troubled, hubristic and haunted by his Uncle Ben’s death. All of the other Spider-Man movies before now, including “ Spider-Man 3“, have at least been fun to watch this one just felt soulless.Īndrew Garfield’s Peter Parker is a lot less interesting in this movie than he was in the previous film. So with very little meaningful conflict in this movie, it just drearily drags on and on through an ungodly long runtime of two and a half hours. The rest of the movie’s plot is either devoted to Peter moping around, angsting and feeling sorry for himself, or Peter and Gwen flip-flopping on how they feel about each other. Electro only gets two confrontations with Spider-Man, and Harry only really goes evil in the last twenty minutes. This film has two antagonists in it (some would say three but let’s be honest here, Rhino is a glorified cameo), but they barely do anything antagonistic. On top of all that, “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” is long and boring. And several instances of overly-simplistic, terribly-rendered CGI, including the climatic fight between Spider-Man and Electro, which looks exactly like two characters duking it out inside a video game with terrible graphics. Harry Osborn injecting himself with spider-venom that looks like it gives him Grinch hair and a nasty case of AIDs. An evil, cliché German scientist ripped straight out of World War II propaganda movies torturing Electro to classical music. Peter and Gwen breaking up and making up over and over again, and Peter stalking Gwen across the city. Parker having this surreal espionage subplot that culminates in Peter finding their secret spy train hidden underground, with all their research in it. Peter imagining Captain Stacy’s ghost following him everywhere, glaring at him from out of his cop car, even during the action scenes. Electro gaining his powers from electric eels in a tank, who also fix a gap in his teeth for him. ![]() In the list of dumb things in this movie, you’ve got Paul Giamatti overacting like crazy as the Rhino and later being reduced to a floating head inside a poorly-designed, CGI Rhino tank-suit. ![]() ![]() “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”, on the other hand, is goofy and not in an intentional sort of way, in a ‘this movie is so bad, over-the-top and unsubtle that large portions of it are fucking hilarious’ sort of way. “ The Amazing Spider-Man” was a decent superhero origin story it had a weak villain but it also had plenty of drive, heart and ambiance. “The Amazing Spider-Man” series took a surprisingly large drop in quality, surprisingly fast. ![]()
