Way too long and too clich

Too clich? and laughably bad plot. This movie must have been written by a ten-year-old! Within the first 15 minutes (keep in mind this movie was long) you knew everything that was going to unfold. Not only did this predictability hurt the movie but because it dragged on and on so slowly it made it almost unwatchable at times.
To make matters worse there was every clich? movie scene imaginable: from the comical spider man getting fed cookies from the girl next door to the overly insightful advice his aunt gives him. There were too many forced comical scenes which took the movie down a huge notch and made it hard to take any of it seriously. This was especially true when they took 30 seconds during a key battle to cut to Peter?s boss bargaining with a little girl for a camera. It was even worse that their was a whole sequence involving song and dance.
Still, the movie had great action and special effects, which helped, overcome some of its shortcomings. I wasn?t enough to make it good, but it was watchable. The acting was so-so, not nearly the best I have seen from Tobey Maguire.
The question I asked myself at the end of this movie was, ?Is this really Spiderman 3?? It just seems like they could have made a good movie but chose to sell out to appeal more to kids and everyone else that wants a laugh.
