fighting between Spiderman and Harry are regurgitated from the first two movies, and the final battle sequences are not nearly as well-done as some of the earlier battle sequences.

The Venom fight scenes against Spiderman, while very well-done, take place way too late in the movie for all those audience members who were hoping Venom would be a major highlight of Spiderman 3. The director should have editied out 80% of the romantic murkiness of Peter/MJ to expand the Venom/Spiderman conflict, or he should have excised Sandman altogether and made Venom the only villain of the movie, allowing the fanboys to get all the Venom they could ever hope for.

The ending of the movie is ambiguous , setting the series up for yet another "will they or won't they "romance between Peter and MJ in future installments. What this franchise is badly in need of is another director's vision. It would be amazing to see what visionary directors like Alfonso Cuaron or Guillermo Del Toro could do to liven up this series into something approaching what Christopher Nolan has done for the Batman franchise. Nolan injected realism and a much-needed sense of urgency into his version of Batman with the help from Christian Bale's acting abilities. The next movie in the Spiderman series must take that same turn, or this franchise could be over and done with much quicker than Columbia Pictures and the Spiderman producers would like it to be.
