I am very disappointed with this movie; I sincerely believe that Spiderman 3 can be considered among the worst comic adaptations made in the recent years, alongside Batman 4 and X-Men 3. I have to admit that the FX were great, but I really I am very disappointed with this movie; I sincerely believe that Spiderman 3 can be considered among the worst comic adaptations made in the recent years, alongside Batman 4 and X-Men 3. I have to admit that the FX were great, but I really wanted to see more of Venom and more of the things that the black suit just can do. And what can I say of the end? It was one of the worst I haveever saw in my entire life! When I was thinking that Batman 4, X-Men 3, Catwoman and Supergirl were the worst, Sam Raimy just give me another one!… 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

There's a lot more action, and as a side-effect, too much CGI. I think this film has become a victim of too much hype, and too much footage already released in trailers and "sneak peeks". Venom looked AWESOME. Just wish he had more than just 30 mins or so. It's better than 2, not a good as 1. It's a film that you'll like more and more, the more you see it. There's too many smaller nuances that you miss in one viewing with all the action. The biggest flaw was not enough JK Simmons. He always steals the movie, and he just isn't in this one enough.… Expand

Half the time it doesn't even take its self seriously, and the acting (for the most part) was LAME. It's like everyone thought they were making a comic book on film instead of a deep, mature film. That said, the movie did have amazing special effects and a few great scenes. Though, I wish I had never seen this poorly done sequel, especially at a midnight release party. I'm afraid to go back and watch the near masterpiece Spider-Man 2 was, now knowing what lies in Spideys' future. Do your self a favor and rent this one on DVD. Though, if you absolutely have to see this one, leave your expectations for greatness at the door.… Expand

Spider-Man 3 is the Lawrence Of Arabia of the superhero movies world. It is epic, sprawling, magnificent, meaningful, beautiful. Anyone who doesn't enjoy this movie must be a pretty spoilt brat or a cynical old misery. For near on three Spider-Man 3 is the Lawrence Of Arabia of the superhero movies world. It is epic, sprawling, magnificent, meaningful, beautiful. Anyone who doesn't enjoy this movie must be a pretty spoilt brat or a cynical old misery. For near on three hours it envelops you in its world and makes you CARE about the characters. How's that for a special effects laden blockbuster, a movie with characters that matter? The comedy works, the emotion works, the action works. Everything Raimi tries comes off. The set pieces are particularly astounding, ranging from an out of control crane to Spidey's numerous battles with the meaty villains on show. Like others, I think this is by far the best of the three (though I loved the first two as well). It's a modern-day classic, an enrapturing fantasy that exhibits all that's best in modern movie making. An experience not to be missed.… Expand

There's not nearly enough action for the movie it is (or could've been) and most of it is interrupted by dreary and tiresome sappy sequences between characters. And the entire sequence before, after and including the jazz bar scene is both too long and possibly one of the most unnecessary and cheesy pieces of cinema I've seen in a few years. I was [emphasis on the word was] a huge fan of this series, I'm not a comic book freak and I just thought this movie completely missed the plot. And all respect for Stan Lee in his original writing, but what his he doing with a pointless speaking role, give the cameo but make it interesting and enjoyable. Any action sequences and Spiderman-isms there are in this movie is what's made it a 2/10 rather than less. Disappointing.… Expand
