I think some people are over obsessing about, of all things, a freakin' movie.

You are not sufficiently aprreciating my hatred.

This was a terrible movie. I went to it on a date with a girl who loves action movies more than most guys I know and she thought it was good, all I could do was just nod and say "yeah, it was pretty good". It was terrible. As was Pirates of the Caribbean 3, which I also saw with her.

Maybe she's the reason all these movies suck. She must be destroyed.

Spiderman 3 was awful because it was poorly written, and because—as another poster pointed out earlier in this thread—it was "too busy".

It was a much, much better movie than Pirates of the Carribean 3, however, which in my humble opinion is a good candidate for the worst movie ever made. After seeing the Curse of the Black Pearl the first time, I was actually beginning to think that maybe I was too hard on Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay in the past. Maybe they weren't just hacks whose only real success was premised on explosives and eye candy after all. Maybe, just maybe, they could actually make quality films. I think that the next two installments in the Pirates franchise put to rest any such delusions I had suffered in the past. Bruckheimer's great talent is making anything that appears on the big screen unbearably bad.

Spiderman 3 seemed to fall in the same trap as those crappy Batman movies with the multiple villains and trying to do too much.

Spider-Man 3 is only the second movie I've ever wanted to walk out on (during that brutal Saturday Night Fever ripoff that Toby just looks stupid doing). Sadly, I didn't walk out on it and endured the rest of that festering cesspool--it's bad even in Blu Ray!

Pirates 3 is nearly as bad with it completely over-the-top and over-extended action sequences (the entire whirlpool bit was unbelievably bad), but I'd take it over SM3 any day because of Johnny Depp and sailing ships.

Horrible Horrible movie.

If Spider-man 3 and Pirates 3 had a baby it would look like this...

Spiderman and Mary Jane split-up in the funny books:

Well, the pair didn’t exactly get divorced. After Peter Parker’s beloved Aunt May was wounded in an attack, Spider-Man and Mary Jane reluctantly struck a deal with the devil-like Mephisto in which he erased everyone’s memory of the couple’s time together in exchange for May being restored to good health.

The story was received less than warmly by fans who thought that after 21 years of marriage Pete and MJ really were going to make it.

The "How it should have ended" may have been better than the actaul movie.

You guys decide.

I think it's great. Brand New Day is off to a great start. Peter is single again, Mary Jane is a mysterious new character nobody knows about. Harry Osborne is alive again. Peter is dead broke. There's a ton of new girl characters for love interests. There's no more multiple comic series and multiple storylines, it's just one single series with the same storyline 3 times a month in one single book. It's fantastic!!!

I was elated to see Peter and Mary Jane get unmarried, she just made his character totally boring and it shrunk down his supporting cast and cut out his friends and shrunk his life down to some wierd family drama about him, MJ, and his aunt. If a plotline involved MJ, it was just her getting in trouble and Peter having to save her. If she had any character, it was always just her complaining about the stress of being married to Spider-Man. If anything bad happened to him, he just went home to be nursed by his super-model wife. It was so bloody boring for over two decades! Spidey should be single, he should never be married again. He's the character young guys want to relate to. Single, broke, struggling, but always keeping his cool.

I quite liked Spiderman 3. Granted it could have been better in many ways and it didn't remotely live up to its predecessors but I enjoyed it, ESPECIALLY the emo-Peter part, I was laughing so hard at that. Answer me this question: how do you make Tobey Maguire badass? OK, I'll answer it for you. The answer is you can't. I felt they did the right thing.
