Spiderman 1&2 definately hit the spot, but 3...just makes you wish it would have ended at 2! Expand

Spider-Man 3 should have been incredible. It should have been an epic wrap up to, what would have been, a great trilogy. However, it falls into the same pitfalls as "X3: The Last Stand." There are too many characters that are poorly Spider-Man 3 should have been incredible. It should have been an epic wrap up to, what would have been, a great trilogy. However, it falls into the same pitfalls as "X3: The Last Stand." There are too many characters that are poorly developed and the performances, for the most part, were sub-par. The voice acting for Venom was awful and Sandman just was not that interesting of a villan. The showdown between Spider-Man and Harry was underwhelming and the action was just really corny. The dialogue left alot to be desired, particularly the chessey lines used by Peter Parker when he turns to the darkside. It was pure camp and a true testament to style over substance. No moment particularly thrilled me and the ending was an enourmous cop-out. Even if you are a die-hard fan of the serious, avoid this film. Just pretend it doesn't exist and go believe that some day there will be a competant director to take on Spider-Man; one who gives us the truly epic conclusion that we all wanted in this one. Expand

A very boring movie. The thin characters were totally overwhelmed by the desperately clever, but uninspiring special effects.

The writing is predictable and cheesy. The action, which the Spider-Man series has been so good at portraying, was jumpy and short-lived. I couldn't believe that the plot had to go in so many directions. It was a bit hard to follow at times and did not lend itself to character development. Although the same writers and directors were employed for this installment, it seemed like they were grasping at air. Take everything that you liked from the previous movies and make it completely over-done. They should have stuck to a single villain because there is not a lot of development of the Sandman character. It also suffers from the success and critical acclaim of the first two movies in that the movie tries to include every good thing but fails miserably in the amalgamation. The previews make it look great and totally appealing but you can really show an extremely lacking plot in a 30 second TV spot. Yes it will make a boatload of money but that can't overrule how utterly disappointing this first summer blockbuster is. Expand

I have been a fan of the last 2 movies and have had some exposure of the Spiderman franchise (in the earlier years). But although there was a need to fulfill the fanboy wishes the movie falls flat on its face for pretty much all reasons. Visual effects although I'm sure they were pushing boundaries with the sandman 'particle' effects there were some hideous compositing in that movie. Script suffered from really corny one liners. Look, I KNOW these actors can act but goddam the dialogue was so bad they really couldn't. And the story and themes and not to mention some really subpar editing and music. The pacing was too slow and then suddenly rushed in the last 15minutes to set up the final battle. And then, some more dialogue about forgiveness and everyone is ok. Expand

I saw this movie with a group of 26 people, ranging from 9-35. Everyone over the age of 18 hated it. And most of the people under the age of 18 liked it. So where do we begin? First off, as many have noted, there are too many villains. They all contriibute to the themes of the movie but none are fully fleshed out. And I am sick of movies using predictable coincedences to move the plot along. [**SPOILERS***] Seriously, the one guy who happens to fall into a pit where scientists are changing the molecular properties of sand just happens to be the guy who killed Peter's uncle? And the one person on earth that happens to stumble upon the alien symbiote just happens to be Spider-Man? When Peter and MJ are fighting, Gwen Stacy just happens to be eating in the same restaurant? When Spider-Man gets the alien suit off, Eddie Brock just happens to be in the same church? You can not be serious! Most movies rely on one or two coincidences to move the plot along, but this is just absurd. The fights just seem to drag on as does this movie. Peter's dark side is portrayed so comically, it's laughable. Sand Man's power is so ill-defined that it is not clear at all what this guy can do. Overall, this movie is the biggest movie disappointment since Matrix Revolutions. It gets an A for special effects, and Venom is nicely done (for the whole 10 minutes he appears in this movie), but the movie is a mess. And did I mention how bad this film is? I know you're going to watch it anyways. But you were warned. Expand

The action shots were done too tightly leaving the fights undecernable as apposed to the many wide shots used in previous films so you could actually whatch the action happening. The script was waaaaaay too cheesy (even for a Spider-man film). The villians were used as cheap excuses to add action as opposed to further plot and there were far too many of them. As a result none were developed into their full potential as an actual nemisis (as Vemon was in the comics and the animated series as well as the Green Goblin). By trying to sell to the family audience these charcters end up being side thoughts as opposed to the harrowing evil they were originally. Then there are the overlylong silly sequences (such as a elaborate swing dance section in which it feels as though Mr. Raimi was auditioning for Chicago 2 rather than making a real movie) as well as Bruce Campells return as comedic relief. All in all the movie had some decent parts but Tobey McGuire is not a virsital enough actor, the script was an exercise in silliness, the directing was sloppy and undecernable at times, and nothing was developed enough to make you care about what was happening to the characters.

I laughed and thought, ‘that’s about right’. If you have seen my previous reviews, you would have seen how much I LOVED Spider-Man 2. Therefore, it’s understandable how I was super excited to watch the last chapter of the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man trilogy. It’s also understandable how big of a DISAPPOINTMENT 3 was. It has worse CGI and special effects than its predecessor (seriously, what the heck? This movie was made three years after 2, and I expected an improvement or it staying the same, not a step backwards! This was 2007, not the 80s!). In addition to this, the story suffered from having too many villains (one is great, because you get to focus on one conflict. Two is nice because they have intertwining tales that spice things up, but three? Why do we need three? It just makes everything confusing and hard to follow. Have you seen the movie, Batman & Robin? It features three villains also, and it was such a great movie! [Haha, that was a joke]). The film also was hurt by mere stupidity. How many revivals did they have to have, and what the heck was with all that “probably just a bird” idiocy? Was the extensive strutting scene absolutely necessary, or the black-suited Spider-Man? Why couldn’t Venom just have found Eddie and save us all that cringiness during that time. And that instant side-change of the New Goblin? Why? Possibly it was just an excuse for a couple of fight scenes. Also, if someone took a grenade to the face in real life, no way could that person survive. The plot line is also super predictable at times. Bottom line: if you haven’t seen Spider-Man 3, good for you. Watch the first two and skip this one. I haven’t seen The Amazing Spider-Man yet as of this writing, but I can almost guarantee it’s better than this movie, so watch that one instead. Expand

I used This movie has "Blockbuster" written all over it, but in this case that is a BAD thing. What I mean is that this was certainly CALCULATED to be a mega-blockbuster, and it looks like all anybody cared about was making a lot of money. I used to be a big Marvel comicbook fan. I am giddy with joy on the all-to-rare occasions when they get a super-hero movie right. The 1st 2 Superman's did it, the X-Men's got it very right, but there has been precious little besides those. I didn't care much for the 1st Spiderman. I appreciated that it was trying to be character driven, but a lot of the plot points used a bludgeon instead of a scalpal. So I didn't expect much from a continued series. But amazingly Spiderman 2 was a lot of fun. Alfred Molina really elevated the film as Doc Oc and there were other good things. But Spidey 3 was mostly painful to watch. I'd already read a lot of mixed reviews and I expected there would be problems, but I just wanted something that would be at least mildly fun. Some of the action MIGHT have been fun, in an otherwise decent film. But I was cringing at too many other factors. I WANTED very badly to find the redeeming qualities of this movie, but it was a useless hope. I am really baffled at all of the positive reviews. I really makes me question a lot of the sophmoric values that seem to be more and more prevalent in the society. It seems that people are losing track of what good film is about. On the other side it seems that lately there's been a lot of Nic Cage bashing in films that may not have been classics but that I found entertaining. National Treasure was a prime example of that. Sure, it wasn't the DaVinci Code (the book) but neither was the film version of that. And I found Nic Cage's new action sci-fi flick to be good fun. Those who didn't love the comics, please understand, if there are any good ideas in Spidey 3 they are Marvel's NOT Sam Raimi's. This film is just calculated to take in a lot of money. And for a time it may just succeed. When critics pick their worst films of the year they rarely really choose the absolute trash. They usually choose the films that had a lot of hype and were supposed to be major box office draws. In other words, the films that disappointed heightened expectations the most. Within that criteria, I would have the say that Spidey 3 is one of the worst movies of the year. Expand

I didn't connect with the characters: none were particularly sympathetic. What made Venom a spider versus some other type of villian is puzzling. Why Sandman grows to a 200-300 feet size is also unexplained. It also felt long--it was at least one hour before Spiderman even started to turn into the evil, black version.

Special effects are underwhelming. Spidey's costume still looks too glossy and doesn't look like Tobey M.'s figure. Scenes seem to repeat themselves. Other scenes feel like outtakes from SM2. The first time Venom spoke, I laughed. He's supposed to have a fearsome, rough, grumbly voice, not sound just like Eric Forman. The film is so long, but it feels as if nothing happens. What a waste!

That was awful. Very poor acting, story and editing. This franchise is done... "Spiderman Begins" anyone?

Complete crap, the story was beyond stupid, the fight sequences were so lame. I know its a comic and everything but make the things that are happening at least slightly believable or in line with the laws of physics. Way too much animation Complete crap, the story was beyond stupid, the fight sequences were so lame. I know its a comic and everything but make the things that are happening at least slightly believable or in line with the laws of physics. Way too much animation and it was way too obvious. 45 minutes into the movie I was looking at my watch waiting to get out. Expand

Topher Grace as "Venom" is like Jack Black as "The Crow", totally miscast! Guess I'll have to wait for the next "Batman" in order to se a great hero film. So long, Spidey, it was good while it lasted.

Very disappointing. Cheesy dialogue, ridiculous musical scenes. You could tell the actors didn't buy into the script.

You could tell the actors didn't buy into the script. People in the audience were actually laughing out loud during serious emotional scenes. I guess it wasn't a horrible film, just really really bad, and considering that it followed two brilliant predecessors with Spiderman 1 and 2, that made it all the more disappointing. I did actually like Topher Grace as Venom and Bruce Campbell's short scene was very funny. I really hope they don't make a fourth. Batman & Robin anyone? Expand

Most often dull. They waited to long to gte to Venom, a character who could fill an entire movie on his own

In fact the only redeeming thing in the movie is Bruce Campbell playing the French Maitre'De.Sam couldn't have made this movie any worse if he tried which makes me believe that idiotic studio executives had more to do with making this huge pile of elephant dung than Sam Rami did.

I enjoyed the action sequences. The rest was terrible. Absolutely and unequivocally terrible. Cheesy to the extreme. I cringed through the disco street scene and a lot of the dialogue.

Its like all the actors forgot how to act, all the writers forgot how to write! This travesty reduces the glory of Spider-Man, one of the greatest superheroes of all time, to a streaming pile of dog droppings. When you see Tobey, fresh from his emo stupor sway dancing through the crowds midway through the picture, that should be a good indication to leave the theater, if you haven't done so already. Expand

Didn't care for it when it came out, Didn't care for it now. I felt have multiple villains was a huge mistake as it kind of muddled the story. Couple that with the worst acting of the series and you have yourself a stinker.

An unnecessarily overlong and depressing sequel that has Peter Parker happily embracing the dark side until minutes before the end credits roll.

Having him change his mind at the last possible second and then show up in time to get his butt pummeled for ten minutes straight is a terrible way to end a franchise. Crying, blubbering and egotistical trash-talking abounds. Throw in Topher Grace as a criminally uninteresting and underpowered Venom (you can't be serious!!!) and you have a recipe for total meltdown. I suggest you pretend that Spider Man 2 was the final movie in the series and avoid this quagmire completely. Expand

You can only assume that Raimi intended to make a comedy but changed his mind at the last minute. Peter Parker dances away his credibility and the potential for a sequel.

While the action is great, the characters and story freaking blow. The characters are either morons or aholes. The only character I like in the film is Flint Marco AKA the Sand Man, everyone else I just wanna smack them in the face and it's story (while epic) is full of reckons and inconsistencies. Unless your completing the entire original Spider-Man collection or if your getting this movie out of curiosity, I strongly recommend you DON'T get this movie. Expand

Just when I thought Sam Raimi got his crap together. I honestly thought they were going to revive this series, but thank God it's over.
