Spidey Sense Stupidity

Taking a look at this Spider-Man 3 trailer, it's obvious that the animators still haven't fixed the most obnoxious aspect of the series - the inability to make sequences of Spidey swinging around the city seem anything close to realistic. The low-grade, herky-jerky animation sequences might have been excusable five years ago for the first film, but in 2007, years after Gollum and Yoda have been perfected as lifelike CGI characters, this sloppy Spider-Man is inexcusable. Spidey looks way too much like a cartoon to take seriously. Oldschool special effects would have looked much better. The too-smooth Spidey moves without any sense of momentum or gravity. He flies through the air only to bottom out in uncanny valley.

If you're gonna go the bad CGI route for the action scenes, you might as well make the entire film animated. As it stands "Spider-Man" has the Roger Rabbit effect. He needs to go back to Toontown and stop bothering everyone.

Another gripe about the film, which I hope is able to trump my low expectations - why is it he has to fight three villains (Sandman, Venom and the new Green Goblin) in this flick? One is enough, two is excessive and three is just stupid.
