This was the third Spider-Man film directed by Sam Raimi and it had the potential to be awesome.  Unfortunately the potential was never realized.  There are definitely some parts of this movie that are great – in fact there are some scenes in here that are by far my favorites of the Spider-Man “trilogy” but there are others that are pretty much unforgivable.  Please note I’ll have MAJOR SPOILERS in this review.  If you haven’t seen it and want to be surprised stop reading.  You’ve been warned.
