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 More Spiderman on DVD The Spiderman Toy Store More Spider-man on Amazon Spider Man on the small screen The Soundtrack For PlayStation 2 The Book More Superheroes on DVD Batman Blade The Hulk Jimmy Neutron Justice League Kim Possible Robocop Spider-Man Superman Wonder Woman X-Men Also see our Action & Adventure Store Stills from Spider-Man 3 (click for larger image) Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - The internal battle of Good over Evil Wow! What a GREAT Movie! I saw Spider-Man 3 many times at the Cinema and now I can watch it to my own pleasure at the comfprt of my home. A SOLID Superhero Movie with a great story, great Acting and amazing special effects. I highly recommend this movie to any fan of the character and of the general Superhero movie genre. Action, Inspiration and philosophy are all included in this highly entertaining Movie. Go watch it! Rating: - too high they really reached for the stars on this one. too many bad guys and not enough of the bad guys that we wanted to see. i have to give this movie credit though. spiderman 3 is the first time that i watched a superhero movie and i actually wanted the hero to lose. if he died at the end i would not have been upset. there is nothing worst then someone who whines for 140 minutes. the three minutes of the movie when he is actually in the alien suit is the best part of the movie. Rating: - SpiderMan3 - product not in case Received the item just fine. No probably with receiving shipment; however, the case was sealed when it arrived but there was no disc/movie in the holder. Rating: - The best of the series - possibly I'd avoided watching Spider Man in the theatres because everyone told me it was too long, etc. As a long time Marvel fan - I enjoyed this a lot. I think this one hit the spot. Sam Raimi has made a love story cum heroic epic. The effects are spectacular (topping the previous two shows) and really reflect the comic book world that Spider Man comes from. The Sandman is pure Steve Ditko, and Venom's effects are brilliantly executed. Acting wise, Tobey Maguire and Mary Jane are the same - but this time Peter Parker has to deal with a Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde persona and a coterie of supervillains - just like the original comic. Let's hope there's a sequel... Rating: - Spider-Man 3 - All art no plot One of the most anticipated movies of summer 2007 Spider-Man 3 ended as possibly the biggest letdown. The spirit that had driven the first two films seems to fizzle in a film that just doesn't have a story to work with its substantial budget. The original Spider-Man was a great popcorn film, providing a good live-action adaptation of the character's development while Spider-Man 2 was one of the best superhero features ever put on film. So why does a sequel involving the same cast and director fail? I personally believe it was art. Director Sam Raimi seems so caught up in dazzling the audience with visual spectacles that he loses the heart of the previous films. The special effects drive this film which is never a good thing. Human elements are lost, and thus the film fails. Sorry to say Tobey Maguire's portrayal of Peter Parker and Spider-Man is amusing, but it isn't in the same league as Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow who'll pull in the crowds. The acting in these films has been good, but no character has ever stood out to the point of wanting to see the movie for the character alone. J. Jonah Jameson is probably the most enjoyable character of all three films, but of course no one wants to see a movie based on him. Part of the no plot problem is the villain overdose this film suffers from. How they went from Green Goblin in the first one, Doctor Octopus in the second (my favorite of the web-slinger's villains) to the third with New Goblin, Sandman and Venom. That's THREE ...
