Spiderman 3...lame?

I saw Spiderman 3 a few hours ago, and I must admit, I thought that it was actually kind of lame. Since it just came out today, I won't put any spoilers in here...even though I don't think anyone reads this. Let me just say: Love story=lame. Villains=lame. Plot=somewhat disjointed, and also lame. As anyone who has seen the trailers knows, the main villains in this movie are Goblin Jr., Sandman, and Venom. The story keeps jumping between them, and it would have been much stronger if they had focused on just one villain. I can picture them taking the elements of the film involving either Sandman or Venom, keeping everything with the New Goblin, and making a totally workable picture of the same length, but with a much stronger plot.

I feel that I should mention that I did enjoy Spiderman 3, I just think that it wasn't as good as it could have been or as good as its predecessors. I think that the first two movies about the character were great, and revived the "Superhero film" as a genre. Unfortunately, this movie may be signifying the end of an era, which is a shame, because I really want to see good movies based on some of my favorite comic book characters: The Green Lantern, because that would be great eye candy; The Green Arrow, because he is badass and foul-mouthed; The Justice League, because that would be awesome; Powergirl, because she is stacked; The Avengers, because they deserve more than a couple of direct to DVD animated features; and Red Sonja, because the one movie about her is pretty sucky, and she deserves better.
