Eh, my personal take on the movie was much worse. Maybe its because of the environment that I saw it (8:55 on a Friday night in a very middle/early high school theater) but I thought it was atrocious. There was a ridiculous amount of crying, I feel like none of the new characters got developed well, and it lacked the key moment that the first two had -
Spiderman 1: With great power, comes great responsibility
Spiderman 2: I know you think we can't be together, but can't you respect me enough to let me make my own decision? I know there'll be risks but I want to face them with you. It's wrong that we should be only half alive... half of ourselves. I love you. So here I am - standing in your doorway. I have always been standing in your doorway. Isn't it about time somebody saved your life?
I don't remember any line from Spider-man 3 like I remember those lines... And so I don't remember the main themes, which in Spider-man 1 was: With great power, comes great responsibility, and in Spider-man 2 was: The hero can't do everything on his own.
It could also be the length, by the end of the movie, I really just wanted it to end. I think I've figured out the best way to know if a movie is great: watch it so that you're uncomfortable. If you still want to watch the movie, then its a great movie. I was uncomfortable for the entire movie (I was sharing a seat with my girlfriend because there weren't enough for us and all our friends in one spot) and I was ready for it to end about 20-30 minutes before it really did.
In any case, I'd give it about a 6/10. It was too long, the characters weren't developed well, everyone in the movie cried at least 3 times (or so it seemed, anyway), and the central theme wasn't clear to me. Thinking back on it now, the theme is forgiveness, but that wasn't clear throughout the movie.
And the ending with Venom was unacceptable. (I'll leave the spoilers out of here for now, but I leave it at unacceptable)
