Spiderman 3 is a movie that is incredibly formulaic, with the only break from past convention is a decrease in action, with the empty spots filled by angry coming-of-age conversation.

The movie gets a 2/10 for the plot, gains a point for the wonderful (as usual) performance of James Franco, gains another for the surprisingly brilliant work of Thomas Haden Church, and ultimately falls back to 3/10 due to the cinematography, which consistently finds some way to make Kirsten Dunst look unattractive.… 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.… Expand

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

The writing was horrible, and the action was mediocre -- not nearly good enough to make up for the unrealistic characters and dialogue.

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

Because of the spectacular arial special effects, the darkness of the film feels stilted. There are character and plot continuity problems which distract, also. 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.

And since I live in Korea, I was able to see the movie tonight (SM3 opened in Asia 3 days before it opens in North America). I'm sad to say, I was let down by the third film.

The biggest issue by far is the fact that there are FAR too many story lines going on at once. The movie feels very bogged down and not nearly enough time is given for proper character development.

In this movie, there is Spiderman, Mary Jane, Gwen Stacey, "New" Goblin Venom and Sandman. Each character is given the bare amount of time for development.

I'm assuming that since most of the cast is non-committal to returning for a fourth movie, the filmmakers decided to throw as many stories into this movie in case it was the end. It really takes away from the movie as a whole.

The other big issue I have is the very forced sense of humor the movie tries to take. From a very lame riff on John Travolta's walk from "Saturday night fever" to watching Peter Parker dance to jazz music, a lot of the humor feels like it's was written for a SNL sketch.

There is a very poor ending involving Spiderman and Sandman that defies logic.

I sincerely hope this is NOT the last Spiderman film, because if it is, it's certainly not the best way for the series to end. None of the magic and originality of the second film are here. I hope that a decision is made to do a fourth film and I hope if a fourth film is made, the filmmakers decide to go back to what made the second film so special.

It is extremely shallow and disjointed. The dialog is atrocious. The action sequences are pretty good. I wish someone had given me the time codes for when the action sequences occur and I would have sat in the hallway until the times came up. I felt embarrassed for Topher Grace. I think he succeeded in making the best out of an extremely poorly written role. James Cromwell. Tobey did fine, but the director needs to remember that less (weeping) is more. (Future directors of Claire Danes, I'm talking to you.) Some of the emotion that Tobey was forced to create from thin air (due to the lousy script) also made me feel embarrassed for him. I fear that some of the odd choices he appeared to make were actually the fault of the editor or director, because several times I found myself asking, "Why did his eyes just widen like crazy? Why is he making that face?" James Franco did fine with poorly written dialog. Kirsten Dunst obviously knows where a body is buried. She emits zero honest emotion in her performance. I defy you to watch a scene from the first movie with your hand over her eyes and then distinguish any difference in the emotional output of her face. I WANT to like her. It's as if she's never gotten out of the line delivery from "Interview with a Vampire." Also, I'm sick of movies preaching to me. Desiring justice and being filled with revenge are NOT the same thing. Reacting to a violent attack with violence does not ALWAYS make the attacker and victim equally guilty of wrongdoing. Did you notice "James Cromwell" earlier in this paragraph? "Why was he stuck in there?" you might ask yourself. That's the same question you'll ask if you see this movie. Thank God for J.K. Simmons. He brought actual acting and comedy to the film. The audience I saw this film with seemed relieved and appreciative to be watching a performance finally. Bruce Campbell also did a good job. Other comedy in Spider-man 3 feels so contrived that it cheapens the entire film. I'm not saying it's not funny, but...well, you'll see. You'll see when you no doubt pay to go see this film and you, like me, will probably have to look at your shoes during the scenes with some of the worst dialog since Jar Jar Binks.… Expand

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. The emotional peaks and valleys the director tries to convey are overly dramatic and cheesy.

The emotional peaks and valleys the director tries to convey are overly dramatic and cheesy. Half of the movie is nothing but choppy conversations and awkward pauses; the other half is special effects that vault so far into the realm of impossibility that one is soon bored with the straining tedium of it all. The only reason I gave it anything out of ten was Aunt May. Rosemary Harris is a gifted actress that has been surrounded by mediocrity throughout the trilogy.… Expand

I like Spiderman 1 and 2. But Spiderman 3 has to be the worst super hero movie since Batman and Robin in 1997. Corny storyline and they rely too much on CGI computer graphics.

Corny storyline and they rely too much on CGI computer graphics. Why the hell is Spiderman in the CGI form 95% of the time in the film??? Even when he's doing something simple like standing or walking, they used computer graphics for it. I hear people saying the special effects in the movie is amazing. Special effects in movies are suppose to look real and unnoticeable. They're suppose to make you questioned if what you're seeing is the real thing. Spiderman 3 special effects looks too fake and cartoony. It seems like they didn't have time to add in all the little details (shading, marks, flaws, etc.) I understand that Toby is not has well built as before, but at least they can do is find a body double for the full Spiderman suit because the CGI Spiderman is LAME.… Expand

Long, dull, boring, full of cliches. CGI was great, but not near worth it. Do NOT recommend.

A train wreck of a film. The super-generic misunderstanding that leads to a rift between Peter and MJ seems like something out of the worst episode of the worst soap opera ever. The overdone action scenes made up less than 10% of the film, A train wreck of a film. The super-generic misunderstanding that leads to a rift between Peter and MJ seems like something out of the worst episode of the worst soap opera ever. The overdone action scenes made up less than 10% of the film, and were terribly paced. The only thing that held me from walking out was the in-theater response. I normally burn with rage when people even whisper in a theater, but my theater seemed like one of the better episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000. I laughed harder at this movie than I do for most comedies. Dialog wise, this movie should go down in history next to Plan Nine From Outer Space. I wouldn't recommend this movie to my worst enemy.… Expand

Cramming over twenty years of comic history into a single hour of a movie won't help with storyline or plot, but it'll definitely help sales. One of the main problems of the movie is that the storyline rushes and moves too fast. Cramming over twenty years of comic history into a single hour of a movie won't help with storyline or plot, but it'll definitely help sales. One of the main problems of the movie is that the storyline rushes and moves too fast. Scenes skip around to the point where you have to be paying close attention to what's going on, or you'll miss important plot points. Having said that, I'll talk about individual processes. Topher Grace's performance of Venom is less-than-spectacular. Venom is a character who's the pure essence of evil. He originally had a distorted, screech-like voice, but now it's only slightly deepened by Grace's. The abundance of bad lines that Grace has don't help his performance, either. "I like being bad. It makes me happy." That was one of the lines that made the movie feel like a big, unimportant joke. I did like the special effects of the Sandman and Thomas Hayden Church's performance. The parts of Venom could've been cut out to save for another movie and this would've been great. Weak subplots and overly-fast pacing put the third film as bad as Fantastic 4 : Rise of the Silver Surfer.… Expand

Words cannot adequately describe how bad this movie is.

Flat acting performances, cringe-inducing and often pointless dialogue, ridiculous action scenes, an plot that's both overstuffed and riddled with holes, and don't get me started on the Spiderman 'dance' scenes. I'm also still trying to figure out who was behind a couple of the casting decisions (Topher Grace as Eddie Brock? Really guys?) and the handling of the Peter Parker/MJ 'relationship' (if that's what you can call what went on in this movie). Avoid at all costs.… Expand

Sandman killed this movie. The only reason it doesn't get a zero is because Parker smacked M.J.

Wow. After seeing the villains in this one, I propose, that in "Spider-Man 4," they have Spider-Man fight a T-Rex with a laser beam, a flying shark with a tiger's head, a 90-foot tall Hitler, and the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Insensible, hollow, soulless crap, even moreso if compared to the previous chapter. Nothing about it works like it should. There are plot illogicalities that will make absolutely anyone ask themselves, "Huh?" For starters, why did Parker Insensible, hollow, soulless crap, even moreso if compared to the previous chapter. Nothing about it works like it should. There are plot illogicalities that will make absolutely anyone ask themselves, "Huh?" For starters, why did Parker think it was a good idea to make out with that new girl in front of everyone, then follow up with a planned proposal to his official girlfriend? Was he oblivious that she just might be there watching the whole time? Then, when the girl shows up out of nowhere and talks about how she kissed Spider-Man, it never seems to register in him that something's not right then. So then, after it's proven that Parker's a douche, we immediately are given a sad scene with Parker crying as we learn Sandman was his uncle's killer. Uh, okay, I thought the movie wanted me to feel resentment for Parker's overt arrogance for a second there, but this sad music wants me to feel sympathetic for something else? Also, I know a romantic subplot is necessary, and I expected it completely, but most of this movie was a soap opera, one for which I wasn't rooting for the main angst figure that is Parker. Parker does stupid, insensitive things the entire film. When he's not making us hate him by hurting everyone's emotions (and, in Harry's case, detonating a grenade next to his face), he's trying to do it by being a whiny little bitch who doesn't seem to understand why any of it's happening. The soap opera factor reaches critical mass, though, when Harry tells Parker he's "the other guy" that MJ is after, right after MJ tells him in tears that it's over while he pulls out his engagement ring, also in tears. I understand some amount of drama is to be expected in this movie, but we're so relentlessly bombarded with histrionic drivel and sad piano music it's impossible not to get sick of it long before it's over. I mean, for Christ's sake, we get an -AMNESIA- plot device, one that's become a parody for TV dramas in itself. Further, one of my main reasons for going into the theater was to see Venom kick some ass. Unfortunately, while the romantic subplot was unfolding, and something which I guess is supposed to resemble comic relief in the infamous "emo-Parker" sequences, I spent the first two-thirds of the movie asking myself, "Where the Hell is Venom?" When he finally got on, we get nothing at all worth watching. Also, referring back to the grenade exploding a few inches by Harry's face, if anyone didn't notice, that same grenade that managed to cause just a burn completely obliterated Venom. Nothing else really comes together to redeem it. The dialogue is unbelievably stupid and trite, the special effects are overproduced to oblivion and silliness, and the best parts involved the news station comedy bits. Don't even get me started on the emo-Parker comic relief scene, which could not possibly have been more over-the-top inappropriate. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be laughing, or if it was some kind of message about Parker still being a spiteful jerk. I saw no good reason to feel bad for him while he cold-heartedly caused every event of his own miserable luck. Crushingly disappointing after the ridiculously awesome previous entry. Just abysmal.… Expand
