I specifically went for Venom. I got it...in the last 10 minutes. What a tornado of sappiness and terrible acting.

I could write a long synopsis of this movie, but I won't. When those two kids yell "awesome" and "wicked cool" when the giant Sandman goes down, it was corny, poorly acted and stupid beyond belief.

The movie wasn't that bad until the ending, which left an awful taste in my mouth. What is it with hollywood writers that they can make a decent movie and destroy it with a cheesy, slapshod, horribly written ending?

I really liked the first Spider-Man. The sequel I liked even more.

The sequel I liked even more. Characters were more fleshed out, grew more, and developed more so that by the time the loose ends from the first film ended, there were entirely new threads to deal with for the third movie. Needless to say, I had high expectations. I was sorely disappointed. The dialogue was awful. Don't give me comic book cheesy. The first two movies had plenty of comic book cheese that I enjoyed as much as the next person. This movie was just poorly written, poorly thought out. There was no chemistry between Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. To top it all off, the poorly written lines were given even worse delivery by the actors. The Sand Man effects were good, the Venom effects not so much. A complete miscast in Topher Grace for Eddie Brock/Venom. The only two scenes worth anything were: the Bruce Campbell cameo scene. While expected, it was highly amusing, and the very seventies Saturday Night Fever scene where the new "dark" Peter Parker tries to be cool and fails abysmally. And when did "dark and not very good" equate to emo? Everything from the darker, eye covering hair to eye-liner screamed emo punk. With such high expectations and such a big let down, I can't justify giving this movie any score.… Expand

A religious tract that I very recently spotted in a men's room, not shy about being up-to-the-minute on pop culture zeitgeist but apparently reluctant to use Captain Jack Sparrow as a role model, drew a pertinent analogy between living A religious tract that I very recently spotted in a men's room, not shy about being up-to-the-minute on pop culture zeitgeist but apparently reluctant to use Captain Jack Sparrow as a role model, drew a pertinent analogy between living the Christian life and being everyone's favorite web-slinger. The pamphlet's thesis was that to truly serve the Lord, Christians have to say goodbye to those things in the world they love, just as Peter Parker, in order to effectively fight crime and save the world (or at least New York City), must give up his beloved Mary Jane. Since great drama often involves having to make impossible Sophie's choices like this, the first Spider-Man movie still stands as the cream of Sam Raimi's trilogy. It tells us that you can't fulfill your destiny and STILL have MJ's love at the same time; Spider-Man 2, seen by most critics and fans as the apex of the series, counters that you CAN. Spider-Man 3's thesis is that, yes, it IS possible...but it's tough work. All the debate about whether this installment is overlong, overstuffed and/or has two or three villains too many has obscured the fact that, even more than Spideys 1 and 2, Spidey 3 is a relationship movie front and center; lose the action sequences, colorful costumes and mysterious black goo, and you've got a bigger chick flick than Pretty Woman. The ups and downs of Peter's and MJ's romance are discussed at great length and in great detail, with not one but two third parties around to provide dramatic conflict...and, most revealingly of all, the movie's final shot is NOT of Spidey in action but of...well, see for yourself. Co-scenarist Alvin Sargent's previous credits (Ordinary People, Julia) clearly show that he knows his way around material like this, but the occasionally forced results, such as an extended restaurant sequence in which MJ (Kirsten Dunst) tries to share a heartbreaking professional setback with Peter (Tobey Maguire) and every contrivance in the world including a Clouseau-like head waiter combines to keep the message uncommunicated, show that Sargent isn't quite working at his peak here. (And in regards to another subplot, someone should remind Sargent and co-writers Sam and Ivan Raimi that amnesia, short-term memory or whatever you want to call it, was officially outlawed by Congress after it was used in a Gomer Pyle episode in 1967.) More successful is the movie's depiction of Peter's increasingly excessive pride in being Spider-Man, which morphs into hubris and then egomania. This is depicted powerfully enough that the comic-book McGuffin (a spiny, tar-like substance from the skies with characteristics common to the Alien, the Beast with Five Fingers and the Id Monster) doesn't seem entirely necessary to explain it. Whether three villains in one movie is or isn't a case of oversplat is best left discussed elsewhere, but it is what it is, and Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace and James Franco are more than satisfactory, with Church very affectingly haunted as Sandman; all three have interesting and convincing dimensions and motivations, but then Spider-Man's nemeses have always had more gray areas than a shelf full of Jodi Picoult novels. Special effects are more than worth your ten bucks (Sandman's transformation in particular is memorably majestic and tragic) and the climactic punch-and-spin-out over the city delivers the goods, even if the unnecessary inclusion of reporters telling us what we're already seeing is hokey enough for a 1940s serial but has no place here. Spidey 3 isn't perfect, and yes, it is overall the weakest of the three, but it's interestingly offbeat and ambitious. In The Summer Of The Third Part That's Less Than The Other Two (Either Together Or Individually), if you have to choose to spend your entertainment dollars on either Spidey or Sparrow, far better to get bitten on the hand than stabbed in the back.… Expand

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

With X-Men 3: The Last Stand it was a different director but this is the same team. There are so many great ideas in here for a Spider-Man movie but the decision to use all of them at once rather than just use one or two results in a messy movie that lacks any sort of real focus and some elements of the film are not as fleshed out as they could have been or as much as I would have liked to have been. So many great ideas were in this movie that I was excited to see through various trailers and ads such as Gwen Stacy and the Black Suit and their handling was not what I wanted at all. But even with a messy story the film still could have been decent or mediocre but the film his hurt by some bad writing. The film spends excessive time on a poorly written romance and makes Peter unlikeable resulting in some parts of this film that are painful to watch. This is hard for me because I love Spider-Man and really want to like this movie but I love Spider-Man so much that I’m willing to get upset when a film about him is done wrong. It is so disappointing especially considering how good of a job Raimi did on the first two. Its sad because you can see the sparks of brilliance yet the execution is sloppy. If you are interested in seeing this film check out as its not all bad as there are some cool action scenes and this film has a mixed reaction with everyone having their own variations of how much they like it. However, lower your expectations as this a poorly put together film from someone who is capable of making good movies. The pieces are there I just wish they were put together properly.… Expand

While it tries to do the simple, and deliver what fans have come to expect rom a Spidey movie, the film fails to deliver anything truly engaging. The film makes a fuss of introducing three villains for Spider-man to defeat. However it feels like director Sam Rami had a good idea for three more Spider-man movies but was convinced to shove all of the plots into one movie. As a result the entire film suffers. The plot that suffers the most is the Venom storyline. Venom is the movie's villain and only appears fully in the final hal hour of the movie. As a result, he goes under developed and does the same evil plot every Spidey villain has done, kidnap Mary Jane and lure Spidey into a trap. It hasn't worked for the villains in the last two movies and drains the movie's final showdown of any drama. Speaking of the end, this is where all of the plots come together and are resolved, messily. In the midst of the chaos, Peter gets colosure with best pal Harry and manages to forgive baddie Flint Marko for the death of his uncle. Oh, and he manages to kill defeat Venom and sort his relationship issues with Mary Jane. This movie had real promise and falls flat down on it's face. Oh Spidey, you really tangled this one up. The Reboot can't come soon enough.… Expand

I'll talk about the good stuff first. Firstly the film looks amazing, the special effects are the best out of all of the three films. The web action looks awesome, Sandman looks awesome and Venom looks brilliant! People complain that he wasn't bulky enough but I thought he was fine. The only exception to the great special effects is the scene when Harry attacks Peter near the start of the film, its quite obvious that the makers had trouble animating the web swinging action when Peter is not wearing his suit. Another good thing about this film is that in some scenes it really does nail to darker tone that the film was going for, when Peter first gets the black suit it leads to some great and intense moments...now the bad stuff. It's obvious that this film cannot decide on a tone. At some points it's going for a really dark tone but in others it seems to be trying to make you laugh, or trying to be dark but failing and making us laugh when we shouldn't be. The acting isn't too bad but there's nothing special and the writing, while still better than Spider-Man 1, it has some cheesy and cheap lines and it makes some characters react to things in unrealistic ways. There's a lot in this film, so it does feel a bit bloated from time to time, especially in the ending. The ending to me felt like they makers were just having to tie up the loose ends one by one and it didn't feel natural. I could go on but I don't think I need to. This film can be enjoyable in some parts but you just cannot ignore all of its flaws.… Expand

Well in conclusion, Spider-Man 3 is a waste of money to have gone to see a film like this to the movies, and that now is not very cheap to say.
My calificasion for Spiderman 3, Sam Raimi is 4/10.… Expand

One of the biggest reasons why Spider-Man is one of the most appealing superheroes is because of his self-sacrificing nature. The shift that suddenly he becomes "Mr. Big Shot" in this movie feels not only inconsistent, but it feels like we missed watching a Spider-Man movie that took place between "2" and "3". Not to mention that there's just simply too much crammed into this. Venom has no place in this movie whatsoever, and the revenge storyline between Peter and the Sandman was just so poorly handled.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The final installment in the original trilogy, Spider-Man 3 is a solid film though it doesn’t quite measure up to its predecessors. We start the movie with Peter still going to college studying the hard sciences, he’s on top of his class and still working for the Daily Bugle as a photographer and dating Mary Jane Watson. Harry Osborn, his former best friend, having found out that Peter was Spider-Man in the last movie and discovered his father’s secret Green Goblin lair has undergone the performance enhancing procedure that gave his father his abilities and drove him insane. He plans to exact revenge on Peter for his father’s death and attacks Peter as the second Green Goblin using his father’s tech in an early fight sequence which takes place on the streets of Manhattan with Peter out of his Spidey costume. He ends up losing the fight and develops amnesia in a cliche and uninspired subplot to get him out of the way for another supervillain, Flint Mark or the Sandman, a small-time crook who is down on his luck, gains sand shape-shifting abilities in a freak accident, and has a young daughter dying of an undisclosed illness. It’s revealed, in a somewhat contrived way, that Flint Marko had something to do with the carjacking that resulted in Uncle Ben being shot and loosing his life. A black alien symbiotic goo attaches itself to Peter, turns his costume black and enhances his abilities. It also gives him a dark side, as he turns to a darker nature and gets revenge on Sandman attempting to kill him. Although the symbiote storyline had potential, it is largely played up for laughs, showcasing Peter dancing in the streets and nightclubs and it can get pretty campy. Gwen Stacy is introduced in this one, to serve as a love interest that complicates Peter and Mary Jane’s relationship. I liked the love triangle aspect in this movie, and thought Peter and MJ’s complicated relationship seemed believable, both actresses that played Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane were attractive and likable like their comic book counterparts. Eddie Brock, the rival photographer at the Daily Bugle is played by pumped up Topher Grace who is disgraced by Peter when Peter is under the influence of the alien symbiote. As Peter is removing the symbiote in a church, the symbiote bonds with Brock and he becomes the villainous Venom, who vows revenge on Spider-Man. Venom is only in the movie for the final third of the movie and teams up with Sandman to kidnap Mary Jane and hold her hostage. Spider-Man ends up rescuing her with the help of Harry, suited up as the Goblin with his glider. Unfortunately, Venom ends up impaling Harry with his glider in a similar fashion to the way his father died. Peter kills Venom, forgives Sandman and lets Sandman go, an aspect of the movie I am a little critical of. Peter ends up getting back together with MJ at the end of the movie. Overall, not the strongest Spider-Man movie, but still a good movie.… Expand

He can even take a grenade point blank and come up with only a couple of scars on his face. That aside I liked the team up of Venom and Sandman. The ending is great and even some of the themes of forgiveness are able to hit their mark.… Expand

It is my favorite of the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy (yes I liked it better than 2) It has the best dialogue out of all of them in which Maguire no longer is contented with a blank stare, and in my opinion has the most relatable and interesting villain of them all, the Sandman. His birth and eventual redemption are some of the most powerful I have ever seen in a movie. It has a huge array of memorable moments, and for one reason or another, I rather like the dance scene. Its well choreographed, is full of very energetic performances, but I can definitely understand why people were disgusted by that scene. But in the end, is it really enough to bring the entire movie down to unwatchable status? No, this movie is an incredible experience for any Spidey fan, just be ready for a cringe fest when emo-Peter begins showing his moves.… Expand

The film plummets from the success of the masterpiece its predecessor was, but Spider-Man 3 still manages to entertain with humor and an emotional story, even if it had a bloated running time and lacked the memorability of Spider-Man 2.

When I watched Spider-Man 3 the first time on DVD, I thought it was a great movie and the best of the trilogy. I even thought it was the bestI will always love Spider-Man, he was the first childhood superhero that I loved and grew up with. When I watched Spider-Man 3 the first time on DVD, I thought it was a great movie and the best of the trilogy. I even thought it was the best movie ever. (Keep in mind I was a kid, like 8 or 9 years old.) Then later on when I heard that people said that it had too many villains and too many subplots, I thought they were crazy. Then, I re-watched it a year or two later and saw it as a well-experienced movie viewer.

The reason why Spider-Man 3 wasn't the best it could have been was because, in my opinion, it didn't take itself seriously and felt a bit silly. (Emo-Peter Parker and him dancing all over NY with his stupid hair style? The effects of the black symbiote made him a "finger-snapping hipster" at worst, nothing else. Oh my god, those scenes for me ruined the movie more than the villains. Everytime I rewatch the movie, I skip those scenes. Really, what were they thinking?) The movie didn't feel too overwhelming or overstuffed to me...or maybe it was. I think most of the characters could've been expanded upon and developed better and fleshed out more (Venom/Eddie Brock, The New Green Goblin/Harry, Peter Parker, Mary Jane, Aunt May, etc).
The visual effects, in some scenes, withstood the test of time better than the previous films. In other scenes though, the CGI felt a bit sloppy and crude (Venom and the symbiote and Harry and his glider). The music and soundtrack feel dramatic and iconic, throughout the whole movie it just adds to the experience. "The Birth of Sandman" scene was one of my favorite scenes from the film. It also combines the best of the film's music and CGI. Venom, the most complained about villain, wasn't too bad but his character development was rushed. Venom, with his rich story/background and the loads of good source material, should have been better. Topher Grace didn't look as muscular or evil or charismatic (depending on which iteration/version) as he should've been. Harry and Sandman were both fine though. Sandman was really great.

Spider-Man 3 was too rushed. Sam Raimi didn't want to include Venom and Gwen Stacy, that was the idea of Avi Arad and the executives at Sony/Columbia. The production, the crew, and the director were rushed and that affected the overall product. Spider-Man 3 could've been the best Spider-Man movie of the Sam Raimi trilogy, maybe the best of both trilogies, but it just messed up. I wonder what would've happened if Sam Raimi didn't listen to everyone suggesting ideas; maybe things would've turned out better. What would've happened if we had a Spider-Man 4? 5? 6?

Many people compare The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to Spider-Man 3, but the only similarity is that they each have three villains. Spider-Man 3 had Eddie Brock, who became villain at the last part of the film, and Harry Osborn, who became a hero at the last part of the film. And Sandman just leaves, and tells Spider-Man he's sorry. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has Rhino, who only a villain for 10-15 minutes. It also has Harry Osborn (again?) and Electro. Both of the latter are added in nicely and not squeezed in.

Spider-Man 3 is OK. The conclusion of the trilogy should have been better, but I'm satisfied enough with what we got.

No, seriously. The movie actually wasn't that terrible, in my honest opinion.

The movie actually wasn't that terrible, in my honest opinion. I recently rewatched Spider-Man 3 (4 days ago, to be accurate), and I have to say: the movie was quite underrated...I'll give the people reading this a minute or so to wrap that around their heads............................................................okay, minute over.
Now, this would be the part where I put, "Some Spoilers Below". However, given that Spider-Man 3 came out in 2007...let's move on.
Sandman was arguably the most superlative villain in the movie. The revelation that he was actually Uncle Ben's killer was certainly an effective plot twist. I truly felt that I could relate to him as a character. Furthermore, I believe that his final scene and "death" was the most emotional section of the entire film.
Venom wasn't that badly portrayed either. I thought Topher Grace was a decent choice to play Eddie Brock (unlike a multitude of Spider-Man fans...). In addition, the Venom/Symbiote suit was also well translated from the comics into the big screen, in my opinion. Unfortunately, I found Harry Osborn to have been basically "tacked on" to the movie. The "New" Goblin's fight with Spider-Man felt utterly pointless (not to mention, he pulled 4 heel/face turns throughout the course of the movie). Other than that though, Spider-Man 3 was a good movie.
I actually found the "Emo Peter Parker" to be pretty amusing. In fact, I thought that was the best (and most daring) portrayal of Peter in the entire Sam Raimi trilogy.
So, while Spider-Man 3 (and I cannot stress this enough) is definitely NOT the greatest Spider-Man movie of all time, it is absolutely not a bad film either.… Expand

The acting is good, the direction is good, the story is paced well and the action scenes are well done. I really do enjoy Harry as the goblin in my opinion as it creates a lot of tension between Peter and Harry as they are (or were) best friends. Peter and MJ finally have a romance, unlike the previous Spider Man movies and Jameson is always funny. The visuals are also great.

However, the story has so many plot points that it becomes convoluted and all of them could have been their own movie. You have the Sandman being the killer of Uncle Ben, the new goblin and his conflict with Peter and the Symbiote which creates Emo Peter, Peter breaking up with MJ, and Venom. Emo Peter was just unneeded and poorly done, instead of showing conflict with the symbiote, he appears to have a good time until he punches MJ and realized what he has done.

Venom was completely underutilized. When he showed up, he looked great, but the vast majority of the time he spoke, he was unmasked. Why? He looked great, why do we need to see Grace's face instead of VENOM? He is so far Spider Man's most anticipated villain to make an appearance on the big screen and when we got it, it was for 10 minutes. Disappointing.

Even though it's the weakest Spider Man movie, i enjoy watching Spider Man 3. I feel like it's a well made movie as it has good things like the acting, direction, action sequences and the visuals. However, because of having too many villains, the plot was convoluted and ALL of them could have made their own movie.… Expand

Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is still living happilyWhile I don't necessarily hate 'Spider-Man 3' like everybody else, it is a movie that can be summed up in a few simple words; Overcrowded, dark, exciting, messy and just overall big. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is still living happily between being the hero that is Spider-Man, while enjoying his relationship with Mary-Jane (Kirsten Dunst), now that she knows he's Spider-Man. However, his best friend, Harry (James Franco) is unhappy discovering his secret since he thinks it was Peter that deliberately killed his father. We meet a convict named Flint (Thomas Haden Church) who has recently escaped and tries his best to make his sick daughter feel better by trying to get some money any way he can. He later becomes "The Sandman" through some very strange origin. Of course, the third enemy of Peter just so happens to be Eddie Brock (Topher Grace) who also takes pictures of Spider-Man for the Daily Bugle. They become competitive in regards to who gets the staff job. Peter later becomes exposed to some strange black symbiote substance that gives him more power, but affects his personality and how he feels to his loved ones. His relationship with Mary-Jane starts fading as she accuses him of being an inattentive boyfriend, and always putting his Spider-Man duties first. Things go down quickly as well when Peter finds out that it was Flint who really killed his Uncle Ben, and that Peter becomes angry knowing that he may have killed the wrong guy before. The movie still does an impressive job with the action and the story is as tight as ever, but what makes it fall short of the first two would be the overabundance of characters and sub-plots, which does make the movie lose focus from time to time. 'Spider-Man 2' (2004) clearly set the bar so high for the franchise, that director Sam Raimi found himself becoming overworked. It is hard to make a better sequel to a great predecessor, but all in all, 'Spider-Man 3' is not a bad movie, just a rather miscalculated one. A movie that should have only at least had two villains maximum, the Venom character was shoehorned at the last minute, but the action scenes are still as spectacular as they can be.… Expand

However, while it could be argued that Spider-Man 2 had too little plot for its substantial running length, the opposite could be said of Spider-Man 3. It's really two movies crammed into one, the first of which is a lot better than the second. Spider-Man 3 starts out strong but before it finishes, many viewers will desperately wish it had called it quits an hour earlier.

One has to consider that the film's problems - and they are numerous - may be the product of the franchise's runaway popularity. In each of the first two films, director Sam Raimi was careful to limit the villain count to one (unless one counts Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jameson, brilliantly played by J.K. Simmons). Here, it triples, and the focus on the bad guys limits the amount of time we have for the soap opera that is Peter Parker's life. Expectations for this movie were sky-high and one wonders whether the pressure to fulfill them caused the director to overreach his grasp and miss the point that bigger and louder do not always equate to better.

The film's setup is effective and feels like a continuation of the previous Spider-Man stories. The most kinetic action scene is the first one, as Harry and Peter tussle through the streets of New York. Although Sandman's introduction is lame, Thomas Haden Church plays the character so movingly that might have been possible to ignore this plot device if it was the only weak one in the movie (which it isn't). The most glaring stumbling block is Venom. He's one bad guy too many. Not only is the creature poorly realized but its introduction into the story causes everything to be crowded, rushed, and overlong. Spider-Man 3 feels like it should end around the 1:40 mark, but like the Energizer Bunny on a rampage, it keeps going.

The climactic battle is a disaster. It's not exciting and it requires two contrivances too excruciating to ignore (one involves a butler that would make Alfred look dumb; the other involves Sandman's eventual fate). It's unforgivable that the film's last action scene should be so vastly inferior to the first one. The special effects aren't even all that impressive. There are several instances in which it's all-too-obvious that Spider-Man and his nemeses are computer generated. This is sloppier than anything in either Spider-Man or Spider-Man 2.

There are also unnecessary characters. I guess Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard) has been added as a nod to comic book fans, but she serves no purpose other than to make us wonder whether Mary Jane is still an interesting character. Her father (James Cromwell) is equally underused. Bruce Campbell gets a nice extended cameo, but why do his scenes seem like Monty Python outtakes? And, as I have already mentioned, everything about Venom is a mistake. At the very least this villain deserved its own movie rather than being awkwardly shoehorned into a film that starts out being about Peter, Harry, and Sandman.

Audience reaction to the film at the midnight opening screening was negative, bordering on hostile, meaning that the core group of fans did not like what they were seeing. It's easy to understand their displeasure. Compared to the other two movies in the series, this one is a misfire. It's for completists only, and even they are likely to feel let down. Spider-Man and the first sequel were breezy adventures - easy and fun to sit through. Spider-Man 3 is a chore. The effective moments require a lot patience to uncover and some of what has to be shifted to get to them is not worth the effort. People love trilogies because it's said that good things come in threes, but this series would have looked better and felt more satisfying had the filmmakers stopped at two.… Expand

This movie had so much going for it, the first two installments were home runs, amazing films, they had everything to make a great ending to Raimi's trilogy. But Sony has a tendency to rush things with their movies and also rush directors in the wrong ways because the want more and more money. They were so concerned with making more money that they pushed the director to shovel in unnecessary sub-plots and villains that no one asked for and just discombobulated everything and ruined the movie. There is still some good about it, Tobey Maguire still nails it as Spiderman, except the dancing scene, so does the cast from the previous ones, there is great action scenes, the black Spiderman aspect is interesting but not developed enough and the sandman is a pretty good villain with a decent character development. But the Harry becoming the new goblin, the Gwen Stacy love triangle and Venom being shoehorned in with an awful casting choice for him aspects were so incredibly bad and unnecessary, they confused everything and made this potentially great film a complete mess. I give it a passing grade despite all these negative points, simply because of spiderman, the cast from the previous ones, the great action scenes it had and most of all the potential it had, the little sparkles of greatness that showed up once in a while. All of these positives made this mess worthwhile, just to see Tobey Maguire as Spiderman one last time.… Expand

But it is still enjoyable, however I did think the first two were better in terms of plot, characterisation and pacing. Well,By all means, Spider-Man 3 is not a bad movie, but the many flaws with the film make it the weakest of the series. But it is still enjoyable, however I did think the first two were better in terms of plot, characterisation and pacing. Well, there are a lot of good things. Out of the three films, this one is the best visually. The look of the whole film is mind blowing, with splendid special effects, brilliantly choreographed fight sequences and spectacular set pieces. The music is excellent, and the direction was efficient enough.

And the acting is very good, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst are appealing as Peter and Mary-Jane and Rosemary Harris sparkles as Auntie May. Topher Grace is great as Brock but underused as Venom, but as Sandman Thomas Haden Church was note perfect and the best developed of the villains. James Franco is an improvement as Harry, and Bryce Dallas Howard is delightfully photogenic as Gwen Stacey. I loved JK Simmons as Jameson, in all three Spider-Man movies he stole every scene he appeared in.

However, there are a number of things that made it inferior to the first two. Basically and most importantly, and this was a similar problem I had with Pirates of the Caribbean:At World's End, it all felt a bit bloated. Two reasons made it so. One was too many characters. Primarily the villains, here, we get not one but three villains. While they were well performed, the character development of the villains felt rushed. Venom especially had way too little screen time as a result, and the final showdown between them felt a tad on the contrived side. Whereas you felt the menace of the Green Goblin and the tragedy of Dr Octopuss you are not always sure what to think here. Second, the plot as result to cramming too much in particularly with the idea of Spider-Man turning bad was rather convoluted, and was further disadvantaged by some surprisingly stodgy pacing. Other flaws were that the scripting lacked freshness and authenticity and the film was a bit too long.

All in all, it certainly wasn't bad. As a matter of fact it was enjoyable. But it could've been better. 6/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

A sense of strain envelops the proceedings this time around. One can feel the effort required to suit up one more time, come up with fresh variations on a winning formula and inject urgency into a format that basically needs to be repeated and, due to audience expectations, can’t be toyed with or deepened very much.

Big problem with third Spideyis the script, the very same element that elevated the second yarn. Four years back, vet scenarist Alvin Sargent, with a story assist from Michael Chabon, enriched the premise from all angles — emotion, humor and villainy. This time, the magic has eluded Sargent and the Raimi brothers, director Sam and co-writer Ivan, the result being a story that would have provenmore satisfactory for a late ’60s cartoon-hero TV show than for a new-century blockbuster.

At the outset, everything is so hunky-dory that New York City looks like Pleasantville. Thanks to Spider-Man, crime is virtually non-existent, Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) is a burgeoning musical theater star, and Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire), still studying science at college, is dorkier than ever.

But evil begins to reassert itself on several fronts. As Peter and Mary Jane gaze at the stars from their spider-web hammock overlooking the city, a modest “War of the Worlds”-like meteor crashes nearby and emits a gooey black silk that slithers and slides of its own accord.

A hard-outside/soft-inside criminal (Thomas Haden Church), who turns out to have been responsible for the murder of Peter’s beloved Uncle Ben, escapes from prison and, through a process that defies comprehension but is undeniably eye-catching, turns into a shape-changer named Sandman who can blow through the caverns of Manhattan or become a giant hulk with fearsome pummeling power.

And then there is Harry Osborn (James Franco), who, still blaming Spider-Man for the death of his father, decides to emulate the great green one by engineering a new designer Goblin outfit and flying board and taking to the skies to avenge his old man.

Peter acquires yet another adversary in the person of Eddie Brock (Topher Grace), an aggressive street photographer who vies with Peter to capture the revelatory shot that will reveal Spider-Man for who he really is, a coup that will land the winner a full-time job from editor J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons) at the Daily Bugle. The rivalry turns into outright war when Eddie morphs into one more Marvel supervillain, the fanged Venom, whose skills eerily match those of Spidey.

Early going is enlivened by a couple high-wire action sequences, a Goblin attack and especially a vertigo-inducing scene in which an out-of-control construction crane demolishes part of a nearby skyscraper, sending platinum blonde Gwen (Bryce Dallas Howard), a classmate of Peter’s, heading toward the pavement, only to be saved at the last second by guess who.

But the dramatic temperature is brought way down by Mary Jane, who’s become a real drag. Fired, in a poor scene, from her Broadway play, she pathetically begs for attention, becomes petulant when Spidey plants a public kiss on Gwen after saving her, then seeks solace from Harry.

In all his dealings with her, Peter still acts like the prim, naive high school kid he was when first seen in the series five years ago, as if he hadn’t learned anything through all his subsequent trials. Scripting of the many domestic scenes between Peter and women, specifically Mary Jane and Rosemary Harris’ Aunt May, is very dull and unimaginative.

Script’s one big idea is to have Peter/Spidey explore his “dark side,” a gambit of tiresome psychological value but with the obvious side benefits of temporarily suspending his goody two-shoes personality and giving him a new, black costume. All the ploy really amounts to is an interlude in which Peter struts around Gotham with a trendy new haircut ogling women and humiliating Mary Jane with some aggressive nightclub antics.

Given the setup, Spider-Man in the end has to contend with multiple villains in a gigantic action climax that, unfortunately, is too reminiscent of the first film’s Roosevelt Island episode thanks to the similar imperilment of Mary Jane. Still, Sandman is a strange and visually interesting baddie endowed by Church with a melancholy undercurrent.

Grace, who could plausibly have played Spider-Man himself, provides a spark with something extra as Spidey’s first major adversary his own age.

Technically, pic is fully on a par with the previous entries, which means the visual effects will have fans wide-eyed throughout.… Expand

Many of the references and ideas that Raimi smuggled into this film are really good, and as a result, with countless MCU films behind us, the film offers a far better psychological story than most MCU films. And people noticed it, and they look at the film differently. Raimi was timeless, although the filming was not the most beautiful, he took the material what he did not know quite well and managed.

I really wanted to see them on the big screen. In fact I didn't like Spider-Man 2 back then because I absolutely hated Doc Oc. But this movie, damn, this was the best movie for me!

Everything people say about this movie is bad, I like those exact things. Too many plots? Good. Emo Parker? Awesome! The way Sandman was shown? I love it. There's no convincing me otherwise. The only problem I had was that Venom was a mindless beast whereas in reality he does speak normally. It was more of a lack of understanding of a character than studio meddling.

You will enjoy this movie more if you binge watch it along with the previous two movies. It seems to absolutely fit in the pieces. The character arc of Peter is also very satisfactory. It may not hold up against the other two movies of the trilogy, but it is an epic journey of Peter Parker going from being a high school nerd to becoming one of the most popular superheroes of all time. And there is no other Spider-Man movie until now that has shown this saga better.… Expand

Onun yerine sadece 1 karakter bu filmde sonlansaydı ve diğer 2 karakter Spider Man 4'e bir köprü görevi görseydi çok daha güzel olabilirdi. Ama yinede ben bu filmi çok seviyorum. Venom, Goblin ev Sandman karakterleri hepsi ayrı ayrı gerçekten çok güzeller. Özellikle Venom o kadar hoşuma gitti ki bana izlediğin filmler arasındaki en iyi Venom hangisi diye sorarsanız bu filmdeki derim. Filmin müzikleri tek kelime ile EFSANE! Gerçekten bana sorarsanız bu spiderman 3'lemesi arasındaki en güzel ve en etkileyici müzikler bu filmdeki. Görsel efektler de on numara. Dövüşme kısımları, dostluğun sonradan rekabete dönüşmesi falan filmde çok güzel işlenmiş. Kısacası benim için Spider-Man 3 en iyi örümcek adam filmidir.… Expand

Spider-Man 3 is without a doubt one of the most disappointing movies I've ever seen. First off, I like how delves into the themes of forgiveness and revenge, as we see Peter getting swallowed by his own pride and how it leads to his descentSpider-Man 3 is without a doubt one of the most disappointing movies I've ever seen. First off, I like how delves into the themes of forgiveness and revenge, as we see Peter getting swallowed by his own pride and how it leads to his descent into darkness. I also love how handled some of the character arcs in the film, especially the conflict between Peter, MJ and Harry, which was built around the the first two films. I love the performances by the cast, especially Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and Thomas Hayden Church. The special effects are well-done for the most part and the action sequences are more high-octane than ever. However, you can tell this movie is plagued with studio interference, as the movie tries to juggle different storylines and multiple villains and none of them are fleshed out properly and it ends up being messy. Topher Grace was fine as Eddie Brock, but I didn't like how they handled Venom. Peter's turn into evil is played for laughs and it's poorly done. Overall, Spider-Man 3 may not be the worst superhero ever, but it's a major disappointment that doesn't quite live up to the first two films.… Expand
