2007

What happened? Well, studio forced Raimi to tack on Venom cause he’s cool (true), even though it derails story. How bad? Bat-nipples bad…

TAKE 2: Moira’s review:

Venom added weird concept to the story, but Sandman helped balance the 2 villains. Boogie Peter Parker was unbelievably bad. Overall so-so.

Better than 2nd one was the damning faint praise. I disagree. Pompous & overbearing. Not much joy to be found here. How’d they stray so far?

Now we’re talking. Yates takes over and never looks back. Next 4 have consistent tone & look; both on target. Radcliffe steps up big time…

Trailer:

Disney gets spoofed by Disney in modern fairy tale that still plays. Adams comes alive in role made for her, but every member of cast solid.
