Spidey 3: These webs are intertwined

Movie is an absolute downer....never expected this from Sam after his previous outing in Spidey 2....

the movie starts off well with the action sequence between Harry and Peter...however the entrance of Sandman and presence of gwen stacy (the beautiful Bryce Howard) mars the proceedings....the movie suffers from too many villains viz. Sandman, Harry, Eddie and Peter himself with few negative shades....the track involving Gwen was not needed.....also they could have done away with one of the villains (probably sandman)...Harry's character was a bit uncanny....in the start he wants to kill Peter, then after recovery he befriends him (because of memory loss), later he plots against him and in the end again fights on his side.....

Tobey is good as Peter aka Spiderman...one can truly see his acting skills in the scenes on the street and the restaurant when the black spider takes over him.....Kirsten is strictly ok...she didnt look as beautiful as her previous 2 installments....Harry is brilliant with different shades.....Bryce is a visual treat...she never looked that good in any of her previous movies (village or lady in the water)...however not much was required from her either....Tom Hadden Church aka sandman (Paul's buddy from Sideways) too didnt have much scope and his character was underdeveloped...also the movie didnt show what happened to him at the end.....

The stunts were excellent and so were the visuals....But that is expected from a Spidey movie....
