Critic At Large: Spiderman 3

Toby Maguire is a fine actor, but he cannot convince me that he’s a badass. That’s the biggest issue I had with the latest iteration of the Spiderman franchise. I’m sorry, but just because Peter Parker has a scowl and a haircut borrowed from one of the band members of Fallout Boy does not mean I have to take seriously his foray into his inner dark side. Otherwise, the movie was fine. The villains were cool and the battle royale at the end was fun. If the producers decide to milk this cash cow a fourth time. I have one request. More Gwen Stacy, please. She makes my spidey sense all tingly.
