    It's everything a summer movie should be and everything a movie in general should be.

    Too 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)much. And the emo/candy-ass Peter is going to date this one so incredibly bad in about 10 years time. The villains were handled pretty well with the exception of there being too many of them in one movie and Topher Grace not being able to act. Not awful but it didn't live up to the hype. Especially after a second viewing. I watched this for a 3rd time and for all its faults I was ready to forgive Spider-Man 3 but that goddamned motherfucking jazz club scene couldn't be forgiven if it fixed the economy, solved global warming and found a cure for cancer all in a 30-second span of time.

    Although 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)n we choose not to keep it to ourselves. We spend so much time trying to keep our darker thoughts, impulses, urges and such to ourselves but the human mind has its limits and sometimes the darkness explodes in ways we can not foresee.

    Both Peter Parker and Eddie Brock, Jr go through a time of darkness in this film and each of them emerges with a different viewpoint of the effect darkness has on them. Whereas Peter believes holding on to dark designs is a betrayal to his upbringing, Eddie sees it as his chance to step into the spotlight he believes he so rightly has earned time and time again. The question the audience must ask themselves is this: Is darkness what hinders your progress or is your dark nature what brings you what you desire most?

    Much more complex than its predecessor, Spider-Man 3 makes us look in ourselves and we come out of the film with a new understanding of how we work on our own and how we work in conjunction with the world.

    The Spider-Man film series has proven itself to be more than just an action driven adaptation of a popular icon and Spider-Man 3 does this better than the first two.

    James Franco's acting really shines in this film and say what you will about Kirsten Dunst's performances in the previous films, she's on top of her game here.
    Tobey Maguire runs the gauntlet of different emotions here and succeeds in adding more layers to one of the better superheroes in the world of comic books.

    Yes, Venom may not have appeared until the closing act but every moment he's on screen he uses that to his advantage and he reminds us why people love the villain.

    And it's refreshing to see at the end of a Spider-Man film a villain that gets to live to see another day (and possibly another film). Fingers crossed this isn't the first and last time for Thomas Hayden Church's wonderful portrayal of the conflicted Sandman, a man who may have done wrong by the law but we can't hate him for it.

    After 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)0 years of cinema. I did like this Bruce Campbell cameo though!

    I 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)n was not handled well at all (except for his top notch special effects). Emo Peter was a bad joke. The jazz club sequence was way, way too campy and out of place. Peter and MJ treat each other in ways that are completely contrary to their characters, solely for the convenience of the plot. And Eddie Brock/Venom was NOTHING liked he actually should have been. Couple those issues with a running time that feels too long, and Spider-Man 3 definitely didn't live up to it's potential.

    At the same time, there are things about this that work well. The special effects and action scenes are uniformely great, and Bryce Dallas Howard was a PERFECT Gwen Stacy. I hope that she comes back for a sequel. Spider-Man 2 is still the best of the franchise, but the third entry is as enjoyable as the first, in my opinion. You'll have a good time as you watch it, just like I did. I mean, it's Spider-Man! I just wish that Venom could have been saved for a movie where he could have been handled properly.

    While Spider-Man and Spider-man 2 set the bar higher for excellence in comic book adaptions, Spider-Man 3 the latest installment in the hugely popular series is a massive step down from those two. It has far too many plot lines and too many villains and that just makes it a cr...( read more)owed mess. While it does boast some really dazzling action sequences and some cool fights in the film, it still can't be saved or salvaged from the over use of everything in Spider-Man3.





    Spider-Man 3 tries to elevate the feel and hyper kinetic style of the film with over blown action sequences and on par CGI. But that's not what we need in Spider-Man, no what we need in this film is stronger emotional conviction, more sorrow and a deeper look into the power that turns men in monsters. But sadly we got what Sam Rami thought what audiences would want extreme action, a dark setting(which I liked.) and gloomy style, which is good in all but still can't make up for the lack of care taken to make this movie. As you watch it you feel like your watching Die Hard or a Mark Whalberg movie it doesn't take it's time to tell just one story, it has to tell five: Parker's, Osbourne's, Watson, Brock's, Marko It's just too crowded and contrived at times and really that brings down the value of the film and the high hopes of a highly acclaimed and thoroughly enjoyable third movie. Instead we get a poorly made, adequately acted and jumble film that has high entertainment values but none of the heart of the first two.




    Tobey Maguire(Who is a real let down here.) Tries his hardest but can't seem to elevate this film past normal or mediocre if you will. You can see clearly see in some scenes that he is pushing ever so hard to be bad and evil as the film suggest but he can't pull it off, even when he's suppose to have his revelation and go back to good it's not that powerful, but he tries and I will give him the befit of the doubt. Kirsten Dunst(Who was totally annoying here.) is nothing short of bad and just her usual,nothing new self here. She doesn't push hard enough to make her character believable all she does is just stand there and look pretty which is good an all but not enough to say she was good. Topher Grace(Who hired this wimp again?) Is neither good or convincing as the sadistic and all powerful Venom, I felt like he was just another High School bully for Parker to wipe the floor with, I wasn't scared or in awe of Venom, Grace turned him into a cowardly punk instead of the head on villain Venom is, Grace just plain sucks in this and is one of the main reasons this film fails. The cast tries and fails to give this film a good reputation but they can't, they fall and fall hard on the over reliance of CGI and the poor script, but none the less they do adequately here.




    Spider-Man 3 is great fun but not great film making, It's a good look at how too much power can corrupt a man and turn a hero into an evil tyrant. But beyond those two good qualities everything else here fails miserable and is just poor entertainment and not as good as it could have been. All in all Spider-Man 3 is an A-Bomb.
