Product Description
Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) finally has the girl of his dreams, Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), and New York City is in the throes of Spider-mania! But when a strange alien symbiote turns Spider-Man's suit black, his darkest demons come to light - changing Spider-Man inside as well as out. Spider-Man is in for the fight of his life against a lethal mix of villains - the deadly Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), Venom (Topher Grace), and the New Goblin (James Franco) - as well as the enemy within himself.

How does Spider-Man 3 follow on the heels of its predecessor, which was widely considered the best superhero movie ever? For starters, you pick up the loose threads from that movie, then add some key elements of the Spidey comic-book mythos (including fan-favorite villain Venom), the black costume, and the characters of Gwen Stacy and her police-captain father. In the beginning, things have never looked better for Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire): He's doing well in school; his alter ego, Spider-Man, is loved and respected around New York City. And his girlfriend, Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), has just taken a starring role in a Broadway musical. But nothing good can last for Spidey. Mary Jane's career quickly goes downhill; she's bothered by Peter's attractive new classmate, Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard); and the new Daily Bugle photographer, Eddie Brock (Topher Grace), is trying to steal his thunder. Enter a new villain, the Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), who can transform his body into various forms and shapes of sand and who may be connected to Peter's past in an unexpected way. There's also the son of an old villain, Harry Osborne (James Franco), who unmasked Spidey in the previous movie and still has revenge on his mind. And a new black costume seems to boost Spidey's powers, but transforms mild-mannered Peter into a mean and obnoxious boor (Maguire has some fun here).
If that sounds like a lot to pack into one 140-minute movie, it is. While director Sam Raimi keeps things flowing, assisted on the screenplay by his brother Ivan and Alvin Sargent, there's a little too much going on, and it's inevitable that one of the villains (there are three or four, depending on how you count) gets significantly short-changed. Still, the cast is excellent, the effects are fantastic, and the action is fast and furious. Even if Spider-Man 3 isn't the match of Spider-Man 2, it's a worthy addition to the megamillion-dollar franchise. --David Horiuchi

When this film first came out, I quickly got the impression that people either loved it or hated it...no real middle ground. I thought it was very good, though I stand firm by my stance that Spider-Man 2 is still my favorite in this series. I do think that Venom, played by Topher Grace, came in kind of late in the game while the Sandman, played by Thomas Haden Church, was absolutely great, becoming my second favorite villain in the series. Tying him into the murder of Uncle Ben also contributed to this, as it made me wonder exactly how our favorite web-slinging hero would handle this. It was nice to see Peter becoming comfortable in his duel role, showing that you don't need a billion dollars or an alien origin to accomplish this. It was also nice to see him let his fame as Spider-Man get to his head, reminding us all how seseptible we can be to such cockiness when life's just going our way. It was really nice to see Mary Jane actually doing something more than needing to be saved all the time, even if her blandness was only slightly lessened. Harry Osborn's continuing story ark only got better, though it suffered from being rushed at times, a problem that plagued this entire movie. There had been talk during production about spliting this movie into two flicks and, in my opinion, the church scene would have been the perfect end to part one. I do wonder about the symbiote...it seemed to come a bit out of the blue. I'm sure it was more established in the comics, but here, there was barely even ever a mention of outer space in this series and this thing from somewhere among the stars just suddenly shows up? It seemed to jump the shark just a bit. But for all my wondering and complaining, this was still a film I greatly enjoyed and I'd reccomend it to anyone. Enjoy.
For Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) and Spider-Man these are the best of times. Spider-Man is beloved by the people of New York City and Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) has given Peter the engagement ring that she received from Uncle Ben (Cliff Robertson) a half-century earlier so that he can propose to Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst). But Harry Osborn (James Franco) knows that Peter is Spider-Man, believes Spidey killed his father Norman (Willem Dafoe), and has found the secret Green Goblin hideout. So right off the bat he comes gunning for Spider-Man. This seems like they are trying to wrap up a loose plot thread from "Spider-Man 2," but this is but one of the several major pieces this movie puts in place for the endgame. Meanwhile, Flint Marko (Thomas Hayden Church) has broken out of jail and become the victim of one of those classic comic book situations where science turns a man into a monster, in this case the Sandman. When Peter finds out it was Marko who actually shot Uncle Ben he takes his first step off the deep end. Peter also has problems in that ambitious Eddie Brock, Jr. (Topher Grace) wants Peter's job as a photographer at "The Daily Bugle," where J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons). Then there is Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard), a classmate of Peter who gets rescued by Spider-Man and has a big old crush on the web-head, and the sticky black thing from another planet that has attached itself to our hero. No wonder the movie runs 140 minutes.
Director Sam Raimi pours on the special effects in the computer generated fight sequences. What made Doctor Octopus a great villain for a Spider-Man movie was how the two could fight on both the horizontal and vertical axises. Obviously that continues with Venom and to a lesser extent with Sandman, but what those two villains have in common is the fluidity of their "costume" and "body" respectively. They have fun making Spider-Man's costume all torn and tattered, but that is nothing compared to what they are able to do with Sandman's face and body in these fight sequences. When Spidey fights the New Goblin (and there is a reason Harry is not running around as the second Green Goblin), it looks more like a high-speed video game with everything happening faster than the eye can see (compare that with the great fight between Peter and Harry when they are not wearing their costumes).
For me the problematic character is Gwen Stacy, because in the original "Spider-Man" comic books Gwen was Peter's girlfriend long before Mary Jane became his wife. Given the relatively small number of Spider-Man movies that you can make, it made sense to skip Gwen and have Mary Jane there from the beginning, even if it meant turning her into the girl next door instead of the sexy redhead in the go-go boots. But we now know that Peter ends up with MJ, just like we know Clark Kent ends up with Lois Lane and Bruce Wayne is never going to get married. So Gwen's mere presence is problematic because she cannot be the woman he loves who dies because he is Spider-Man. In the "Ultimate Spider-Man" comic book MJ is there from the beginning too, knowing Spider-Man's secret identity, and the integration of Gwen's character into that revision of the story was okay, but it did not have the significance or resonance of the original storyline. The movie Gwen is more like the comic book Mary Jane and that whole plot line would have worked better with Betty Brant (Elizabeth Banks) or an entirely new character than resurrecting Gwen Stacy.
Besides the delicious irony that the blond Dunst has died her hair red while the redheaded Howard has gone platinum, I was bothered by how they had Gwen be a model. Mary Jane was the model and that was important because just like Peter it was a mistake to take her at face value. Instead Dunst gets to sing a couple of songs and while the movie agrees she is not good enough to sing on Broadway it seems a strange way to create a crack in her self-confidence, especially given that nobody faked self-confidence better than MJ. But they are fully committed to the idea of Mary Jane as the girl next door even if they have yet to figure out what that means for the character and her relationship with Peter. Howard is not given much to do, although her last moment is her character's best, and the same goes for James Cromwell as Captain Stacy. But Bruce Campbell completely steals his one scene, Mageina Tovah as Ursula steals a couple, and Stan Lee has his best "Spider-Man" cameo to date, but Dylan Baker's Dr. Curt Connors is still no closer to turning into the Lizard.
The main element they have kept from "Spider-Man 2" is the idea that the conflict between Spider-Man and his foes is no longer black and white, but shades of gray. I liked that for once Doctor Octopus was not a ranting lunatic with mechanical arms but a good man turned evil by a fateful accident (the flip of what happened to Peter Parker) who refuses to die a monster. It was that moment more than Mary Jane discovering that Peter was Spider-Man that really gave "SM2" its weight. This time around there are important shadings for Flint Marko and Harry Osborn, just as there are for Peter Parker as his black Spider-Man costume gets the better of him (but Eddie Brock, Jr. is bad to the bone from start to finish).
In the end I round down on "Spider-Man 3" because I think they are overdoing it with Spider-Man's mask coming off or being half torn (even though I understand the impulse to have the face of the actor you are paying millions to actually appear on screen), the comic relief from spectators during the big battle at the end gets in the way of the developing tragedy, and the fade out scene was by far the weakest of the series to date. I am also not happy with the way Peter's character is regressing, because even before the symbiotic flips him to the dark side he is embracing his inner nerd way too much. Maguire is hysterical when he has Peter strut himself down the street, but it rings wrong for the character. Also, even with the swelled head he is getting from the public adoration as Spider-Man, I do not want to believe that having the costume on when he receives the key to the city was enough to let Peter betray MJ the way he does there. The scene later on at the Jazz club is the insult; it was the other that was the real injury part of the equation. Still, I bet I make it back to the theater to see this one again.
I know that this movie gets a bad rap, and - to be fair - it has some cringe worthy (but endearing) scenes. However, I love this movie and I think it really is the ultimate Spider-Man movie.
Starting off, everything seems like it’s going pretty good for our boy Peter. He and MJ are going strong, Harry has forgotten that/why he hates Peter, and Spider-Man is a local celebrity, openly praised.
But that all turns sour real quick. This movie sees Peter’s romantic and friendship relationships fall apart, he finds out that Uncle Ben’s true killer is still at large, and then - to complicate matters - he becomes attached to a parasitic symbiote. Peter (and Spider-Man) have to over come all of this, and it makes for a great movie.
Not to mention Sandman is probably the best villain and any superhero movie. I say that because he’s relatable. I’d probably do the same things he does in his situation, and you probably would too. Heath Ledgers joker (for comparison) is likewise absolutely amazing but also very foreign. I would never do what he does, and although I find him interesting, I certainly don’t sympathize with him. Thanos (whome I’ve likewise heard been called the best villain) is the most narcissistic, nihilistic villain ever. He’s willing to wipe out half of all life in the universe, because it’s what HE thinks is best, to hell with anyone else. Nah. Screw that guy. Sandman is #1 in my book.

So what made this third spiderman film so good? The Villians what else!!Well it picks up from the second film nicely (Harry Osborne wanting revenge and becoming the New Goblin deserves; an Oscar for his acting alone) with two extra villians The Sandman (Thomas Haden) who I think was fantastic in every way and of course Spiderman's ultimate nemesis Venom (Topher Grace), who does his best but doesnt impress much as Venom.
And of course theres the familiar love triangle between parker, osborne and Mary Jane as usual, but this time it goes one step further with Peter transforming to the dark side hence the fantastic black spiderman suit!!
And yet theres more, sub plots involving Peter's Uncle Ben from the first movie and a new female cast which gets up close and personal with spidey!!
I could on and on with this film, but every movie has its flaws and unfortunatly spiderman 3 is not perfect in any way either. Firstly most spiderman fans will not appreciate the long running time, and then theres the unfinished story about the black goo, how it got there and what it's true purpose is, Venom (despite looking just like its cartoon counterpart without the bulkiness) only gets about twenty minutes of screen time and not surprisingly its the last twenty minutes of the film. Also theres not much time to explore the darker spiderman character, because it all happens too quick and ends too soon.
Still the film deserves its five stars because it made me smile, laugh and almost (I did say almost) break down in tears by the end and there arn't many superhero films out there that can do that. I can understand though why some fans wont like it, but as I mentioned earlier if you are a diehard spiderman fan, you wouldnt notice the running time as the film hardly pauses for breath.
It is a shame though about Venom, I would have preferred it if they had just the Sandman and the New goblin for this third movie and then the fourth film would be only based on Venom and of course the dark spiderman side story.
Oh well never mind, I better stop waffling;
Five stars deservedly!!!
