Thumbs down Spider-man 3 review got 4.5 stars?

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movie...46&show=review

WTF? Spider-man 3 was, by far, the worst Marvel movie since the Fantastic Four cinematic abortion from the early 90's (the one you never hear about, because even that lunatic Avi Arad realizes it's Marvel's equivalent of the Star Wars Holiday Special).

What's worse, the Blu-ray.com critic even applauded the scene where Peter Parker struts down the street, and then does his ridiculous dance number in Mary Jane's club.

I want whatever drugs that writer was taking.

SM3 was thin on plot, the storyline was all over the place with no real consistency, the acting by most of the cast (Kirstin, Topher and Toby included) was phoned in, and I'm sorry, but the Peter Parker "hipster" scenes are widely regarded by Spidey fans as the most embarrassing moment in any Spider-man film.

The only redeeming points to the film were the fine performances by Thomas Haden Church and Bryce Dallas Howard. As a matter of fact, once Gwen mysteriously disappears from the movie, and all we get of Sandman is just the CGI version that grunts and groans, the movie becomes downright pathetic, especially the "Marvel team-up" of Harry and Pete for the final (anti)climactic battle. Let's not even get into the dialogue during that scene.

Please, Blu-ray.com, I'm begging you: hire some better writers, or at least qualify them for their assignments. I worked as a professional journalist and writer for over 10 years, so I know the business and how it works. I also understand that critics are entitled to their opinions, and that those opinions may not always be of the popular variety. But when you have a turd of a movie like SM3 getting 4.5 stars--ranking it right up there with Casablanca, Silence of the Lambs or, more to the genre, even Lord of the Rings--as an editor I'd start to question the objectivity (and sanity) of my writers. Even Iron Man, which is arguably the best Marvel movie made to date, is still only a solid 3.5 or a weak 4. And Spidey 3 gets 4.5? I can only assume April Fool's came early.
