I don’t think I need to remind you that a fully satisfying third film in a comic-book trilogy currently exists in the same realm of the Tooth Fairy and a talented Paul W.S. Anderson’s. Superman III. Sucks. Batman Forever. Three words: Tommy Lee Jones. Blade: Trinity. I don’t like vampires in my iPod commercials. X-Men: The Last Stand. Seriously, was that fucking Prince with the sonic hand-clap superpower? In my opinion the closest film to make a dent in a the curse is Spider-Man 3 - deeply flawed and lazy, but full of great action. Yet, not many are willing to even give it that much credit. After all, it’s hip to hate on Spidey these days. Only when a third installment of a comic-book franchise gains an overwhelming consensus that it’s worth a damn will I admit the curse is broken.
