...much away, but I’m talking to the villainess. And she says that when she takes over the kingdom she’s gonna take over all the creatures in it. And I say that she’s gonna have to fight the president of the goblins, Drew Goblin Faust.RR: Nice. Are there any other jabs at Harvard officials?DA: We always try to incorporate a lot of Harvard humor. We poke jabs at some of the a cappella groups and –RR: What do you have against a cappella groups?DA: Ah, you know...
...action movie. It sets a world's record for so-called tough guys shedding tears. Harry Osborn (James Franco) gets weepie over his father's death, and enraged at his belief that Peter was responsible for it; he vents his rage in the supervillain guise of the New Goblin. Before being transformed into the irradiated Sandman, Flint Marko (Thomas Haden Church), the recidivist hoodlum - and murderer of Peter's sainted uncle - goes all soft and moist as he clutches his young daughter's locket. Peter has a jewelry fetish too: his aunt has given him her wedding ring, which...

In this very serious movie, only Grace and Raimi regular Bruce Campbell, in a nice cameo as a varry Franch maitre d', seem to be having the outsize fun normally associated with comic-book capers...
...Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), an escaped convict-turned-mutant whose chance trip into an experimental reactor leaves him with power to control the sand. And adding to all of these new threats, there’s that murderous friend, Harry Osborn (James Franco), who has become the new Green Goblin, Spider-Man’s most dangerous foe. As a whole, the execution works. The plot doesn’t seem muddled by the two love interests and three villains, and visually, the film really rocks you hard. Every punch comes closer to knocking you off your seat...
