Critics Consensus

Though there are more characters and plotlines, and the action sequences still dazzle, Spider-Man 3 nonetheless isn't quite as refined as the first two.

I have had these movies for a long time. Revisited this and find it thrilling. Especially since the Venom movies came out. I loved it. More detailed compared to the Venom series and comics in which Stan Lee had directive control.

This is one of those so bad it's good movies a bully Maguire is absolutely perfect. Did you see what he did in this movie? He literally pushed MJ and he also messed up Harry's face with that goblin bomb and to top it all off, he made Eddie pray that he would die sandman is probably the second best villain in the Spider-Man franchise. At least the Toby Maguire ones cause we all know the best one is bully McGuire plus Harry and Toby finally make up in this movie overall, I think it was a good way to cap off the Tobey Maguire movies even though they're making a Spider-Man four that's right they're making another one you heard me pretty good movie overall pretty good movie bye-bye

Abundance of issues like the bomb scratching Harry's face but then demolishing Eddie and Venom, Sandman wants to see his daughter but then tells his cellmate about his murder, giving Sandman a personal connection to Peter, MJ not telling Peter to beat up Harry instead if just breaking up, and so much more that I do not feel like expanding on because they have been talked about so many times.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

David Stratton

At the Movies (Australia)

Spider-Man 3 is the longest film in the series so far, and perhaps it tries to pack in rather too much. But it's intelligently directed by Sam Raimi and, with all those eye-popping set pieces, it's certainly never boring.

Rated: 3.5/5

New Statesman

The breeziness that was so refreshing in the other episodes has been largely replaced by the kind of misery and moping that we can get from any old superhero.

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.

For the Win (USA Today)

While some of the film is a bit goofy in retrospect, it’s still a consummate vision from a director who just understood the character better than anyone else has.

What could have been if the studio didn't stick its inky black nose in Raimi's business...

Gone With The Twins

Raimi, perhaps pressured by the fan base or studio executives, has tried to cram too much into this third - and presumably last - chapter of this hugely popular property.

Rated: 7/10
