Spiderman 3 [* *]

I'm usually a big fan of Spidey and his movies, but this one was a loser. (Of course, the whole thing was dubbed in spanish, which might account for my lack of comprehension, but then ... what's so difficult to get about boys turned superheroes?;)

They bring in a bit of an abusive boyfriend in him, a weaker MJ who can't get a job, an alien (gawd why?:s)sticky thing which makes him a bad spider for a while. The colours are darker - probably following the darker Star Wars - he even dons a dark suit.

I can usually tolerate Toby McGuire's slackjaw appearance, but when he makes a fool of himself playing a jango, he borders on being slimy.

The movie did nothing for Spiderman's image, which was already weakening in woman troubles in the comics. This one makes him appear really confused between who he really ought to be fighting.
