Why Spider-Man 3 was bad?

Based on the comic Spider-Man, Spider-Man 3 is a superhero film released in 2007. It is a sequel to Spider-Man 2 which was a huge success and also a really good movie. Spider-Man 2002 was a really good movie and Spider-Man 2 was even better but Spider-Man 3 was really bad. I wouldn't say it was a horrible movie because there were some good things about the movie but I think there were a lot of flaws that need to be addressed.

 

 

The conflict between Peter and Harry

Peter meets Harry's Father in high school

Peter and Harry have been goods friends throughout their high school years which was shown in the first movie. We see Peter getting bullied by almost all of his mates except Harry and Mary Jane. It is shown that even the bus driver treated him like shit when we see him chasing the bus and the driver is just laughing at him including everyone on the bus. From the first movie, we see Harry being the only one aside from Marie Jane who treats him like a friend. As the movie progresses on Peter meets Harry's father who later becomes Green Goblin. Peter was in love with Mary Jane and so was Harry and this love triangle causes tension between those two characters. As Mary Jane starts liking Peter, Harry becomes Jealous of him. This builds up conflict between Peter and Harry.

 

Another thing in the movie that builds conflict between harry and Peter is the death of Peter's father. Harry thinks it's Spider-Man who killed his father when the truth was he committed suicide. Harry starts despising Spider-Man who he thinks killed his father. Harry had hated Spider-Man so much that he pays Dr. Octavia to bring him so he can kill him. Before trying to kill Spider-Man Harry decides to see the face of the man who he hates and wants to kill. He takes off the mask and he finds out the Spider-Man is his best friend Peter. This entire build-up is just wasted in Spider-Man 3 where Harry just loses his memory and after some time he regains his memory he still hates Spider-Man and wants revenge. The entire conflict just ends with his butler saying  "The night your father died, I cleaned his wound. The blade that pierced his body came from his Glider" garbage. It's such trash and lazy writing. Just awful.  

 

 

Venom and Sandman

Venom and Sandman weren't needed in this movie. I felt like the writer's just felt like ''Oh we need to have venom in this movie'' and just forced him there. It really wasn't needed. Maybe they should have planned Spider-Man 4 and then have venom in that movie. Sandman in this movie was really unnecessary being the person who kills Peter's uncle which was never foreshadowed in Spider-Man or Spider-Man 2. Instead, Harry should have been the main antagonist. The entire conflict between Peter and Harry would have had better pay off if Harry should have been the main antagonist of this movie. 

Even though I enjoyed this movie it had a lot of flaws.
