The superhero saga, which debuted across North America Friday, is on track to become one of the biggest box offices successes of all time. But tell that to the Washington Post or New York Times.

"Plain awful," said the Post. "Plods along," said the Times. "Pure camp," said Richard Roeper at the Chicago Sun-Times.

To be fair, a majority of critics did like the movie, According to Rotten Tomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com), a Web site that aggregates reviews, about 62 percent gave it the thumbs up. But the first two films in the series earned almost unanimous praise.

And the favorable critics were sometimes begrudging or proudly contrarian. Newsweek said the "ambitious mishmash" was the "nuttiest" in the series.

Rival newsmagazine Time liked it for reasons that might disgust the young male moviegoers that studios crave, noting, "It sets a world's record for so-called tough guys shedding tears."

The Sony Corp.-owned studio need not worry too much. The critics couldn't unleash enough venom on such recent releases as "Norbit," "Wild Hogs" and "Ghost Rider." But moviegoers ignored them, and those movies all managed to top the charts with big numbers.

$151,116,516 in its opening week. That's a new record, just in case you're keeping score.

George Lucas said about the film: '"It's silly. It's a silly movie. There just isn't much there. Once you take it all apart, there's not much story, is there?"'

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

NOT ENOUGH VENOM! UGH!

And what's up with Sam Raimi and 3rd instalments? He already butchered the 3rd Evil Dead film and now Spidey 3?

Well, the film was quite good actually. I can't believe that Raimi's trying to make it like a musical comedy or something. I feel that Venom is the one that saves it from being mediocre. And less of Mary Jane would make the film more fast-paced.

I have watched Spiderman 3. I still think it's one of the best movies 2007.

I'm just sad about what happened to Venom. I don't think he's really bad. He was just trying to impress a girl that he really likes but getting a great job.
