Movie Reviews of Spider-Man 3 (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Good Trilogy
Summary: 4 Stars
I'd say the Spiderman franchise is doing pretty well in movies. Unlike other comic characters where there's never a story to tell and a lot of action sequences have to fill time, Spiderman has a life. And boy does it get complicated. Spiderman 3 is deceptively simple on the surface, but themes do take root and also tie together the earlier movies. I'm not sure why some people feel this is all too complex though, your average 10-year-old will get it, and guess who comics are actually for? What makes it even better for us adults are the powerful themes underneath like vendetta, breaking the law for a higher purpose, forgiveness, even what it takes to get married. Despite Spiderman being a hero, his life and the life of the villains aren't alien to us. That's successful screenwriting in my humble opinion.
If there's one thing I didn't like about this film it's Peter Parker's dancing sequences. I wish I wasn't kidding, or that even that is was just a singular event. They're really a misplaced idea, a goof that absolutely should not have exceeded seconds of screen time but lasts minutes. They unfortunately really cheapen the movie by taking the viewer out of the experience. Others might take issue with the length of the movie, but I feel it uses every second (except the dancing) to effect, and didn't bother me.
Overall I do like this movie though, because it represents one of the purest, most important cultural ideas. That is one many comics share, of the hero, of being an upstanding human being. Today kids are exposed to anti-social stuff constantly... whether it's videogames that are about shooting everything in the face and jacking cars, or TV reality shows about lying and backstabbing and prostituting yourself, or thug music that celebrates materialism and egotism. I feel sad for kids, what are they going to be inspired by? They're in training to be mediocre people who get their rocks off on disgusting behaviors. I'm not some nut who thinks they'll go postal, I'm just sad there's so little "good" in the world of cinema and elsewhere anymore to lighten all our days.
Movie Review: Great 3rd Spiderman movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed watching the third installment of the Spiderman series. The plot is great, the animation is outstanding, and the acting is great. Peter Parker's life gets turned around when a black symbiote attaches itself to his suit. The suit enhances his powers, but makes his heart turn dark. Will Spiderman be able to defeat the powers of the black suit?Movie Review: Great Movie!

We bought this because we have the first two movies, but they were much better movies than this third one. Not sure I'd buy a fourth if/when they make it.Movie Review: Parker falls under the influence of his dark side.
Summary: 3 Stars
The third and final installment (allegedly) of the Spiderman movies is all set to tie up all those little loose ends - Peter Parker is finally secure in his role of Spiderman and seeks Mary Jane Watson's hand in marriage ... but, happy endings are only for fairy tales, right? In this installment we are introduced to two newcomers: 1st we meet Flint Marko (Thomas Haden Church) who, after escaping from prison stumbles into a particle accelerator and is transformed in to the mighty Sandman. The 2nd new face to this line up is Eddie Brock (Topher Grace) who is in competition with Parker at the Daily Bugle ... more on him later.
The movie starts with a small meteorite crashing in a park where Parker and Mary Jane are on a date and an alien symbiote attaches itself to Parker's moped. Next Enter Sandman Metallica ;-) I mean Flint Marko, who becomes Sandman. Our next scene is of Harry Osborn who is seeking justice for his father's death and attacks our friendly neighborhood wall crawler. Goblin Jr loses and enters a state of amnesia making him forget all about Spidey. After a short celebration we learn that Flint Marko was really the culprit responsible for Uncle Ben's death. Well, Spidey waits by the radio and discovers where the Sandman will strike next.
This is the perfect opportunity to try out that fancy new black costume, don't you think? Well, Parker does and learns that all his Spidey powers are enhanced ... but this also triggers a more violent and spiteful change which results in the near death of Sandman. Mary Jane notices these changes as well, and seeks comfort in the friendly arms of Harry Osborn. Now fully recovered from his memory lose, Osborn uses Mary Jane as bait to get revenge on Spidey - this back fires, though, and leaves Osborn horribly disfigured. Now enters Eddie Brock, who used a false picture of Spidey to advance his career at the Bugle. Parker finds out and humiliates Brock to the point where Brock loses his job.
Parker finally realizes the dark tendencies this new suit offers and disposes of it. At the same time Eddie Brock has learned the errors of his ways and sets out for redemption. Oh, if it were only that simple. I'll leave it there, but this is a fair attempt to recreate the best issues in Spidey's past (The McFarlane series) if you missed the earlier films in the series, I'll list them below:
