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

August 29, 2010A bit too much happening with the storyline, but loved the darkness of this one most. And Thomas Hayden Church, who doesn't love him...

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 -
June 16, 2009THIS RATING IS NOT OF THE MOVIE SPIDER-MAN 3. THE RATING IS OF THE RIFFTRAX COMMENTARY OF SPIDER-MAN 3. I CANNOT PROPERLY RATE SPIDER-MAN 3 BECAUSE FLIXSTER DOES NOT ALLOW NEGATIVE STAR RATINGS.
I swore I would never see this; I didn't need to see it to know how godawful it is. ... read more -
May 6, 2009"Look, I want to kill the spider, you wanna kill the spider. Together, he doesn't stand a chance. Interested?
- Yeah."
'Spider-Man 3' arrived the theatres with a lot of hype, as the viewers were preapring themselves for the symbiote suit, which would eventually give birth to Spi... read more -
April 5, 2009Again too many characters spoil the broth and the story is waaaay too complex for a comic book adaptation. It looks cool, probably the best looking Spidey, but they try to squeeze in too much. I wanted to see more of Venom...the evil characters are always the best and more intere... read more

Too many villains, too many pale plot strands, too many romantic misunderstandings, too many conversations, too many street crowds looking high into the air and shouting "oooh!" this way, then swiveli... Full Review

Raimi at least manages to make it both huge and human. Full Review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
After two epic successes that deserved their success, the latest installment swings between intense action sequences and unaccountably flat dramatic interludes. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
One has to consider that the film's problems -- and they are numerous -- may be the product of the franchise's runaway popularity. Full Review

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
If there's a moral to be gleaned from Spider-Man 3 -- aside from the fact that heavily promoted franchise movies tend to rake in megabucks -- it's this: Movies don't necessarily need to hit grand slam... Full Review

An extravagant three-ring circus of a movie from director Sam Raimi, but it's not without a struggle. Full Review

Manohla Dargis, New York Times
Aesthetically and conceptually wrung out, fizzled rather than fizzy, this latest installment in the spider-bites-boy adventure story shoots high, swings low and every so often hits the sweet spot, but...

Colin Covert, 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
