As Sam Raimi's 'Spider-Man 3' takes flight among the concrete and glass canyons of Manhattan; it additionally takes steps to explore the relationships between its three central characters, Peter Parker aka Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire), girlfriend Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), and Best Pal Harry Osborn (James Franco).
Jammed-Packed with Acrobatic Thrills and Wildly Vivid Villains ("Where do these guys keep coming from?" Spider-Man humorously queries), the emphasis is on Crime Fighting mixed with personal crisis. As Peter Parker faces 'Inner Demons', 'Spider-Man 3' could be subtitled "The Passion of the Spidey".
Not even close to dull; it is phenominally rewarding to anyone willing to follow Peter as he tours his dark side.
"Pride Goeth Before A Fall", the saying goes, and as the movie opens, Peter definitely appears to be heading for such a tumble. While 'Spider-Man 2' ended with trouble brewing in the Parker/Osborn friendship; he shows little concern that his lifelong buddy means him harm. Things are going good for Spider-Man, Mary Jane has won her first starring role in a Broadway play, and their relationship is so solid that he is beginning to think about marriage. Peter is still a nice guy, but he's flirting with arrogance and he does not listen to anyone — (Harry, Mary Jane or his own good sense).
When an Alien Liquid Latex (as created in Stan Lee's Comics - not some wildy ridiculous Hollywood Invention) forms itself around his body one night in a Dominatrix's Dream Scenario; he acquires a "NEW" Spider-Man Black Hero fashion, but his demeanor changes as well. The black suit feeds his inner angers and desires as Parker learns the "Real Man" who shot his Uncle Ben has escaped from Prison. (And will ultimately become "Sandman").
No longer merely smug, 'SpiderMan' will succumb to the new suits added strengths but internal destruction and he becomes downright sinister, not quite a Villain himself; but close.
As Spider-Man begins to battle his own inner demons; this is a comic-book franchise; it requires comic-book villains. "Spider-Man's" 'Green Goblin' (Willem Dafoe) and "Spider-Man 2's" 'Doc Ock' (Alfred Molina) represented charismatic, larger-than-life evil; the alter egos of men of superior intellect harboring grandiose schemes.
"Spider-Man 3" is chockfull of Villains, including Harry when he gets his dander up as "The Hob-Goblin"; and official Villians "Sandman" (Thomas Haden Church) and "Venom" (Topher Grace) who present Spider-Man a larger physical challenge. (Amazingly Drenched by Phenominal Special-Effect).
The story is loaded with high-flying action that has come to characterize the series. Special-Effects reach cinematic peaks as even an airborne cab aims for SpiderMan in one sequence. The battles are wildly spectacular, especially in scenes between 'Spider-Man' & 'Sandman' as his consistency keeps changing; (stone turning to dust or even mud), and his shape alters to fit the circumstances. Spider-Man just can't get a handle on him.
'Venom' (Grace), a disgraced photo-journalist who adopts happily the Alien Liquid Latex for the sole purpose of inflicting chaos, is an additional battle-wild Evil (borderline downright scary) as SpiderMan tackles the duel Villians "Sandman" & "Venom".
Then Harry Osbourne dons "The Hob-Goblin" again from "SpiderMan 3's" opening sequences.
Is it all too much for SpiderMan this time around??
For Franchise lovers; this is the SpiderMan you've been waiting for !!!!

Spider-Man 3- 2 thumbs UP! GO Spidey!!!!Review created: 01/03/08
by:
) 2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
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. In the beginning, things have never looked better for Peter Parker. 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, 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, and the new Daily Bugle photographer, Eddie Brock, is trying to steal his thunder. Enter a new villain, the Sandman, 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, 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.
I have to admit, this was a fun movie to watch, but I guess Spiderman 2 I liked better. Worth every penny paid though.

Spider-Man III [2007]Review created: 11/04/07

Sam Raimi’s 'Spider-Man 3'
This time Raimi goes gothic, incorporating the Spider-Man~Venom battle in the bell tower as seen in the Amazing Spider-Man comics
~ Spider-Man first took the venom costume in Secret Wars # 8 [1984], when his own red-and-blue costume was damaged. He discovered the symbiote costume in a facility in the world where a whole host of Marvel heroes and villains had been sent by the Beyonder to battle.
In Raimi’s film, the costume finds its way into Parker’s bedroom, the alien substance attaching itself to Parker [Tobey Maguire], lending him a new costume which in turn lends him a far greater – albeit more dangerous – power. The costume also changes his characteristics, making him more confident, arrogant and –at times – aggressive. It is at the bell tower scene where he loses the costume to reporter Eddie Brock [Topher Grace]. Parker realizes the costume is vulnerable to high pitched sounds. Brock has been humiliated by Parker, while Parker is under the influence of the black costume, and follows him to the church. Brock becomes venom, one of Spider-Man’s most deadly foes.
The second villain to appear in Spider-Man is the Sandman [Thomas Haden Church], a criminal who is caught in an experiment gone wrong; his physical state is that of a malleable sand-like substance that can be shaped according to the Sandman’s will.
The third is the return of the Green Goblin, the character this time taken by Harry Osborne [James Franco] after his father [Willem Dafoe] died in the first movie.
Villains aside, the other storyline is the ongoing troubles between Peter and Mary Jane [Kirsten Dunst], their relationship still on the slide here, and not eased by Parker’s new-found powers born out of the symbiote~alien costume. Even the villains claim some small shred of empathy in Spider-Man 3, their own personal lives being as troubled as Parker's, or else their lives affected by the symbiote~webslinger.
As a bonus there is the Gwen Stacy~Captain Stacy [James Cromwell] storyline, Gwen being the girl who attempts to steal Spider-Man's affections from MJ ~
Too many villains, some say? I thought this was almost as good as the first movie [the origin]. The scene from the bell tower – taken frame-by-frame from the original comic – was as well-made as the ‘Spider-Man No More’ sequence in ‘Spider-Man 2’.
Action-packed yet dark and gothic in places, Spider-Man 3 is another triumph for Sam ‘Evil Dead’ Raimi.
Also stars Bill Nunn [Robbie Robertson], J K Simmons [an amazing transformation as J Jonah Jameson, Bruce Campbell [Maître d’], Teddy Raimi, Emma Raimi, Lorne Raimi and Henry Raimi.

Aside from the bad wrap received by the confused and offended crowd this segment in the series actually provided a lot of needed ground cover for uncle Ben's death, relationship issues with Mary Jane and Harry and finally after much await, Peter's struggle with Venom.

We bought this Spiderman 3 to complete the trilogy. We liked the first two releases and thought the third would be great. Although completely unbelievable, the series is entertaining while this third brings even more excitment. Good buy from this seller !!

CONTRARY TO WHAT I HEARD OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THIS MOVIE, IF YOU WERE A FAN OF THE COMIC BOOK GROWING UP LIKE I WAS, THE MOVIE IS BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS. PHENONENAL GRAPHICS AND SPECIAL EFFECTS ASIDE, IT IS A GREAT MOVIE THAT GRABS HOLD OF YOU AND KEEPS IT RIGHT UNTIL THE END. GET THIS MOVIE YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED, TRUST ME. CHRIS.

This movie did not do much for me. Actually, I think they should have stopped with one, but that is just me. Parts were ok, but the overall rating was about a 5 out of 10.

Spider-Man 3Review created: 09/13/09
by:
The Marvel comics hero returns for more high-flying fun in this third installment in the series. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is up to his usual Spidey tricks, attending university classes as an awkward geek, then quickly slipping into his red-and-blue suit to save New York City from various villains. And there are villains aplenty. Thomas Hayden Church blows in as the Sandman, an escaped convict whose molecular structure is destroyed in a particle accelerator. The freak accident gives him the ability to form and reform from piles of dust. While the Sandman sifts through the city streets robbing banks, Spidey must also contend with his onetime friend, Harry (James Franco), who has taken up where his father, the Green Goblin, left off. Harry chases Spider-Man down on his goblin glider, hurling pumpkin bombs. But Spider-Man's biggest battle is perhaps within himself, when he is taken over by meteorite ooze--a substance that gives him great power, but also turns him into a vengeful, selfish jerk. Throw into the mix Peter's new competition at the Daily Bugle--the ambitious, sneaky Eddie Brock (Topher Grace)--and Peter's relationship troubles with Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst), and SPIDER-MAN 3 weaves a tangled web indeed. Director Sam Raimi's playful style and his delightfully campy screenplay hold true to the spirit of the Stan Lee comics, and he does an excellent job of hitting all the right superhero notes. Raimi has created an action film that is a feast for the eyes, but comes with fully rounded characters and a moving moral lesson to boot. The special effects are astounding, but Raimi makes sure the film isn't all action and no talk--he makes Peter's struggle a human one, and one that we can all relate to, regardless of our web-spinning ability.

Definitely better than the second one if not only because Venom rules! Very action packed and entertaining. The special effects improve with each movie. Certain parts are very humorous. My only complaint is it just didn't leave me as satisfied as the first film.
