Oh dear!
I would only recommend seeing this film if:
a) You want to waste 2 hours and 40 minutes of your life
b) Want a cure for insomnia
c) Fancy Kirsten Dunst ;)
It is more interesting than this review though ;)
The film (as everyone says) is about an hour too long. And this is because it has too much padding and focuses on the alter ego-s of the super heroes, villains and friends. In most films a bit of this is acceptable but they have gone a little too far in this one.
All three villains are good, but the film doesnt focus on them enough and doesnt have enough fight sequences between them. To be honest... they should have had one or maybe two villains like the other films and given them proper screen time.
And the final nail in the coffin... The dance and the John Travolta strutting sequences in the middle of the film uuuggghhh.
Bruce Campbell saves the middle of the film with an outstanding cameo (as usual in Sam Raimi's films :)).
4/10 ... only watch this on DVD and only if someone lends you it or you find it lying abandoned in the street.

Very harsh review Dave. As you know, I loved the film.
Only joking, it was crap!!
I love the spider-man films (up to this one)... hence the huge disappointment.
Lets hope the next 3 they have planned are up to the quality of the first.
