Disregarding the infamously cringe-worthy dance sequence and mishandling of Venom’s character, there’s still some fun to be had with Spider-Man 3.

The biggest issues come from the movie’s scattered and unfocused storytelling, the abundance of CGI, and lackluster script. Miles Morales is juggling his life between being a high school student and being a spider-man. The movie may be laughable at times, but it’s not entirely bad.

If you’re not incredibly invested in the original Spider-Man movie trilogy, Spider-Man 3 will probably still manage to entertain you. Overall, Spider-Man 3 drops the ball in a lot of ways, leaving fans disappointed and underwhelmed. That said, there are still a few fleeting moments of impressive imagery and fun, superhero action, but it’s simply not enough. Instead of including a mixture of practical and computer-generated effects as in previous Spider-Man films, Spider-Man 3 is almost entirely CGI, sucking the life and impact out of most of the action scenes. While this might’ve worked in 2007 when the movie was initially released, the visual effects are distracting and mediocre by modern standards. A lot of money went into the special effects of Spider-Man 3, resulting in excessive use of then-cutting edge CGI. In most other big-budget movies, story problems like this can be somewhat forgiven if the action is good.

A teenage Peter Parker grapples with both high school and amazing super-human crises as his alter-ego Spider-Man. Spider-Man 3 often shoves its main story to the sideline and dedicates more screen-time to these new characters, which is exceptionally disappointing.
