Spiderman 3: The Best and Worst in the Series?

Nepotism in Hollywood has always been a problem. The most notorious example of this is when Francis Ford Coppola put his daughter, Sophia Coppola into the "Godfather 3", which lead to the worst sequel in the history of the cinema, helped along to that title by Sophia's wooden acting and lack of any charisma whatsoever. Now we have another disaster on a similar scale. The director and writer of both of the earlier Spiderman movies, Sam Raimi, called in another person to help him write "Spiderman 3". Seeing as how that person was his brother, Ivan, who never wrote any movie before in his life, who could have expected that call to turn out well?

The movie starts out strongly enough with Peter Parker (aka Spiderman), played by Tobey Maguire, in a really good mood. He has a jig in his step, his girlfriend, Mary Jane (played by Kirstin Dunst), is getting some Broadway success by singing in a play, and his grades in college could not be better. Things get a little more darker when the film shows that his once best friend, Harry Osburn (James Franco), is still very ticked-off over the fact that Spiderman killed his dad. We see this when Peter goes to the theater to watch MJ's opening night, and Harry is shown spying on Peter with a wicked smile on his face, obviously plotting some diabolical vengeance on Peter. Harry's dad, the Green Goblin, has some left-over homemade bombs that Harry has discovered, and he'd like to use them on Spiderman.
