In 1977, The Fonz strapped on a pair of waterskis and made a credibility-slaying leap over a shark. 30 years later Peter Parker takes style tips from My Chemical Romance and in the space of a few emo-fringed dance moves manages to turn the wall-crawling franchise to parody. Guess that’s what happens when goo from outer space turns you bad…

Spider-Man 3 may have been predictably lucrative at the box office, but – some breathtaking special effects aside – it manages to sully the good name of its predecessors. Falling into the trap of thinking bigger is better (and that all you need to create a darker tone is a black suit), this third outing struggles so much under the weight of its own excessive plot and action that you never get a chance to invest in the story. It feels like a movie written by committee, with Sandman introduced for Sam Raimi’s benefit, and the ever-popular Venom there to keep the fans happy. While both baddies would make worthy Spidey foes in separate films, here neither has enough room to manoeuvre or to develop the pathos that made Doc Ock a cut above the average movie villain.
