Critic Reviews

  • Bob Mondello, NPR.org

    At 141 minutes, this supe-opera is seriously overextended, with four distinct subplots and way too much hand-wringing over things like the heroine's singing career.

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    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 swiveling and shouting "aaah!" that way.

  • Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Spider-Man 3, i'm not going to lie, has tons of plot holes; However, I find this film extremely entertaining! Ever since I first laid eyes on this film in theatres I was hooked on all the cheesy CGI that they chose to throw in. I could watch this film over and over again,… More

    I often say in my reviews of superhero films that im not a big fan of them because they often suffer from a bad script, mindless action sequences, campy dialogue and no real reason to exist other than to steal your money. Spiderman 3 is a huge example of that.

  • Emily A


    Nobody agrees with me, but I think this movie was the best of the three. I really liked Topher Grace as Venom, and since I never really cared for Tobey McGuire as Spider-Man, I really gloried the evil, cackling, hands-rubbingly evil malice Eddie Brock visitied down upon him. I really… More

    O que começou como um gênero composto basicamente de filmes camp nos anos 60 evoluiu em um filão de filmes arrasa quarteirão, onde seus personagens principais são emocionalmente atormentados e cuja profissão traz maiores cicatrizes do que glória. Estamos falando do gênero super-herói,… More

    This film lacked substance and the ratings show it. It had some cool action scenes and Venom was awesome, but overall it lacked an identity that the previous two had.
