Say what you want about the Prequels but they are no where near the mess that Spider-Man 3 is, at the script level. I mean, it's just plain bad on a lot of serious levels...things that should've been caught before this film even started shooting.

Possibly because many, many people think that the prequels are "silly" too. True, some don't. It's a mess at script level because the producers forced Raimi to shoehorn in elements which he didn't want to. Not to say that SM3 is necessarily a lot better than the prequels, but if ever there was a case of the pot calling the kettle black, this is it. I mean, how can Lucas, how wrote dialogue like "Yousa in deep doo-doo this time" call it "silly?" Jumpman, is there ANYTHING-any business decision, frame of film, line of dialogue, anything at all-that you think Lucas have EVER done wrong? I mean, you're perfectly entitled to you beliefs, but the words "in my opinion" keep failing to show up before you posts.
