Continuity: When Spiderman is being pummeled by the Sandman while being held down by Venom, underneath his eye, his mask is being held together by a couple of pieces of thread. When he is shown in later scenes, though, his mask has about 3/4 of an inch of fabric left holding it together.

I wish there were an option for 0/10

I will preface this by saying that I was never particularly a fan of 'Spiderman,' however I found the first 2 movies somewhat enjoyable and entertaining. The third is a different story entirely, and what angers me most is that I paid $8 to see this epic flop. The acting was horrible, but this was to be expected having seen the first two films. What set this one apart is the corniest screenplay imaginable. If you are going to see this movie, be prepared for the musical and dance numbers, with the atrocious crooning of Kirsten Dunst and the unnatural, revenge-of-the-nerds gyrations of Tobey Maguire. I left the theater wondering "what were they thinking!?"

If you're thinking about seeing "Spiderman 3," do yourself a favor and (don't, or) wait until you can rent it for $4 instead of paying $8 a head.
