After years and years of wanting to make this film they finally got it together. The special effects are amazing but the story line a bit week. Willem Dafoe is aweful as always and having such a big part brings this film down to his level.

Tobey Maguire was outstanding as Spiderman/Peter Parker mind you.

It is worth watching and is definitely better than Part 2 but i'm surprised they didn't get a better character and actor to play the 'baddy'.
