6. Spider-Man III

This one is listed at number six on the list because of the level of anticipation that preceded this movie, as well as the potential for greatness that this movie possessed, and then blew it completely.  When “The Shadow” came out, nobody expected it to be a blockbuster hit.  So, when it wasn’t very good, there was very little disappointment flowing through the veins of the average moviegoer.

The same cannot be said for “Spider-man III” however.  This was the movie that we had all been waiting for.  This was the movie where they were going to introduce Spidey’s black symbiotic suit.  The previews had us anxious with anticipation.  Even the idea of seeing Thomas Hayden Church play Sandman was intriguing.  

After desperately trying to weave together a storyline which included way too many characters to begin with, the writers then tried to turn the black suit into the creature known as “Venom” in the same two hour timespan. It was a mess.  Even a simple character like Sandman fell apart at the seams, literally, as this version of the popular criminal allowed him to simply blow away in the wind and assume the size of a skyscraper.  It was really too bad that this movie, which could have been great, ended up like this.
