"My Spider Sense is Tingling...If you know I mean!"

Yes, it pays to have a job that gives you fridays off!

I've waited 16 months for this freakin' movie to come out, you KNOW I was gonna see it first day out!

And no Sold Out theaters, truant rugrats or imbecile teacher taking a whole class was going to ruin this expirence!

I caught the 11:30am screening, with a sparse crowd of young and old...a few stupid punks and nasal geezer who breathed thru his nose too loud.

First, I wanna say...as far as Superhero Movies goes...this was awesome! A great story showing the ups and downs of Spider-Man and his relationship with Mary-Jane Watson...In the first one Peter wanted the girl, in Part 2, he got the Girl...in this one, things get rocky (Hey, they all can't be storybook romances!).

Now, with that said...this movie was WAY too LONG!!! It was trying TOO hard to be a Trilogy ending Epic. Simular to "The Matrix Revolutions"...They crammed 2 movies full of villaians and story plots into 1 movie. Everyone expected Harry Osborn to confront Peter about the whole "He killed my father" thing, but I guess they figured THAT and only the Sandman wouldn't have been enough so they threw in the Alien Costume for the "Over the top" effect.

Speaking of the Sandman (A name he is never given in the movie!) He was the first Spidey Villian I ACTUALLY felt sorry for as they explained his sobb story and origin. He wasn't some crazy scientist that willingly underwent a scientific accident...to quote him he's "...not a bad person, he's just made some bad choices."

Some of his powers and abilities felt like they were ripped off from the "The Mummy", BUT they got better and menacing towards the end.

I don't wanna reveal much more, but two more things...

1) Stan Lee's cameo was bit corny this time...maybe if he didn't have a line, it would have been better, finally being Side by Side his creation in a scene.

2a) The Subplot of Harry losing his memory after his first skirmish with Peter was WAY to Soap Opera to swallow!

2b) Where the hell did Harry's elderly caretaker come from?!?!? When I came home after the movie (and after going to the BATHROOM!!!) I skimmed over Parts 1 and 2 he is NOWhere to be found!

Look for cameos by Paris Hilton and yes, Billy Campbell again.

Great Movie...a bit over-hyped and overexposed my all the "Sneak Peaks" will probably shatter Box Office records again, but the aftertaste won't linger more that 2 weeks.

Pirates of the Carribean 3 might be better, and Rise of the Silver Surfer is looking more and more intresting as well.

This should be it, Don't do a part 4, unless it's the one-arm Doctor Connors becoming The Lizard and somehow the REAL Hobgoblin (But that might be a stretch).

Don't Do Electro, Mystero, Shocker, Scorpion, and DON'T EVEN THINK of doing Carnage!
