It was good. That is all.
Okay it was VERY VERY good. They did a great job with 3 villains. Usually more than one villain in a movie tends to not work so well. Okay it usually sucks! They really did it well.
I won't say more and I would like to. 😉
In a few weeks, when some have seen it, we can discuss it more.
Really? Everything I heard about the movie was blah at best. I heard it has awesome action but everything else was lame...

Three was pretty good. Bruce Campbell's cameo was great, of course. I'm looking forward to the expanded DVD edition.
Alfred Molina was the best villain (and one of the best characters period)in the series. They finally did SOMETHING worthwhile with the Green Goblin in the third movie. Hayden-Church is surprisingly good in everything he does, and while I kinda thought his character was missing a minute or two of dialog/exposition, he was a good addition. Topher Grace was a good choice for Venom, as he and Tobey had the whole good/evil doppleganger thing going on (even though I think Brock was a big guy in the comic).
I didn't care much for the Green Goblin in the first movie. Willem Defoe is awesome, but someone needs to be fired for covering his face for most every action scene, thus ensuring we'll have as much interest in him as we would in a CGI character - oh wait, I think he WAS CGI in a lot of those scenes. Defoe is a great actor, and it was criminal to hide his face. SOME sort of half-assed fanwank makeup/eye-mask should have been worked out to let him emote.
Speaking of emoting, ever notice how often these guys with secret identities run around with torn/missing masks? It lets them emote. . . 🙂
