Spider-Man 3

SPIDER-MAN 3 (2007) - May 5, 2007 (Second Viewing)
Well, I enjoyed this just as much the second time as I did the first, so I have to say that I'm a bit puzzled about the lukewarm reception this movie has been receiving from the critics. No, it's definitely not as good as the second one, and maybe not even the first, but it's still a smart, well-made, better-than-average summer blockbuster. It's long and there's a lot of plot crammed in there, but it never feels muddled. People also seem to be complaining that it's too dramatic ("everybody cries"). But what? Would they rather have another bland, explosion-filled snooze-fest? Well, whatever. I liked it. ***1/2
