It was a fun romp which took a few silly chances, and some of the action scenes were pretty hot. The visual effects were top notch, even if we're oversaturated by them at this point. Alas, on the whole the movie was was also wildly uneven, parts of it felt like someone else was directing it. Set your expectations low and you won't be too disappointed. Side note: there's simply never enough J. Jonah Jameson to appease me, he's been my favorite part of each movie. J.K. Simmons is delightful. My hope for #4: Dr. Conners finally becomes the Lizard, and they finally use Bruce Campbell as Kraven the Hunter. Just saw Spidey 3.

I just saw it and, while not perfect, it was still pretty darn awesome. Second, no list of bad Spidey merchandise is complete without mention of some of the stupider toys: Spidey on a motorcycle, a Spidey car, a Spidey ATV, etc. And, of course, the fact that they shrunk the Spidey 3 figures down an inch from previous and comparable lines.
