May 12, 2007It's everything a summer movie should be and everything a movie in general should be.

August 29, 2009Too many storylines left Spider-Man 3 feeling like a bad superhero sequel. I'd normally give this 4 stars but Kirsten Dunst singing, that candyass twist scene, Topher Grace in general and that jazz club scene demand a H U G E apology to the human race as a whole and hurt way too ...( read more)

August 29, 2009Although the phrase "with great power comes great responsibility" is pretty much the cornerstone of Spider-Man's crime fighting stance, the third film finally explores a new theme and is all the better for it with the key theme being the darkness inside of us and what happens whe...( read more)

August 27, 2009After the fairly decent Spider-man 2, I had high hopes for this film, especially when the villains were announced and the fantastic looking poster/Trailers were released. Unfortunately, it turned out to be all gas and no fire, and possibly the biggest disappointment in the last 1...( read more)

August 24, 2009I think that I was a little too harsh on Spider-Man 3 the first time that I saw it. I still stand by the things that I didn't like, but I guess I enjoyed more of the rest of the movie the second time around.
The while re-do of Uncle Ben's death still sucks. "Sympathetic" Sandma...( read more) -

November 17, 2009This film was good but a few parts i felt ruined the whole film for me. In the end i feel it never lived up to spiderman 1 or 2.

November 17, 2009Spiderman got a hard time using his new costume. He found his personality changed significantly. Whew...
so he got three enemies, himself, his best-friend, and who is the monster with the disgusting costume? Ah, I forgot. Poor for his lovely friend for dying when he tried to save...( read more) -

If most of the characters in this edition seem to be zigzagging in confusing fashion from good to bad and back again, the awesome production is forturnately in safe hands as usual with director Sam Ra... full review

Raimi at least manages to make it both huge and human. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
It's mostly enjoyable. But it's a limping effort compared with the first two. The trilogy hobbles to a finish when it should have soared. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
My guess is that when the summer blockbuster season finishes pummeling us with formula, Spider-Man 3 is going to look like one of the few that was touched by human hands. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
The script is busy with so many supporting characters and plot detours that the series' charming idiosyncrasy is sometimes lost in the noise. Fortunately, it's entertaining noise. full review

Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com
It's schizophrenic pacing and apathy towards its audience's acceptance means the film never needs to be seen more than once, if that. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The third adventure of the guy with arachnid superpowers tries gamely, is solidly entertaining and possesses dazzling special effects, but it falls short of the near-perfection of the Spidey sequel. full review

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
Laziness mingles with overkill, violence with mawkishness: most of the characters weep at the slightest provocation, but heads are beaten, burned, and sheared off by passing subway trains. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
What's missing? Momentum. A touch of meanness. A centrifugal threat like Molina's octopus man. (In terms of dramatic stature, the three villains here don't add up to one Doc Ock.) full review

I wish spider man, was my man hahaha for reals, haha

December 16, 2008this movie had so much potential to be better.
it was just too rushed and it felt like the plot, characters were all squeezed up.
imo, it would've been better without the sandman story.
harry osbourne and venom, yeah it fits.
but overall an entertaining flick. -

June 27, 2008I hope Sam Raimi doesn't come back for "Spider-Man 4". I'm tired of his take on Spidey. Does it seem to anyone else like Raimi just wants to direct a romantic comedy that just happens to star a superhero? If "Spider-Man 3" had been as good as "Spider-Man 2", I might feel differently, but since "Spider-Man 3" was a major disappointment, I'd be happy to see a new director at the helm of this franchise. (And I wouldn't mind seeing the backs of Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst either.)
