Spider-Man 3

I saw Spider-Man 3 tonight. The CGI and special effects were excellent, but the storyline had room for improvement. There were just too many characters’ storylines crammed into this one film. They did a good job of trying to stay true to each villain’s story. They also did a great job of bringing each character off the page and onto the screen – each of the villains look great. Overall, I thought it was really good but it is definitely the least good of the three Spider-Man movies.   Here’s looking forward to the 4th one!!!
