Spider-Man 3

Pros: exciting action, interesting new villains, all the makings of a blockbuster
Cons: a little chaotic, strayed some from original story

Continuing the immensely successful series of films, Spider-Man 3 presents a more emotional, and sometimes more chaotic look at the themes of the infamous web-slinger. Three years after the wildly popular second film broke all kind of theatrical ...

Pros: Entertaining movie with interesting new characters.
Cons: Too much going on for one movie. Some characters receive very little screen time.

Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 are two of my favorite movies based on comic books. They showed that a movie about a superhero can have strong plots and well developed characters ...

Pros: Spider-Man 3 delivers
Cons: A few slow spots

With as much anticipation as any other adult that collected Marvel's The Amazing Spiderman comics as a youngster, I was more than willing to shell out the full price of a movie ticket to see actor Toby MaGuire put on the Spidey suit, plus with my ...

Pros: Great effects, some nicely done story developments.
Cons: Tries to pack too much into a single film.

It’s official: Spider-Man 3 is upon us, and this, the third and perhaps most hyped film of the series pits our beloved wall-crawler against no less than three super-villain adversaries. Released in a summer of sequels (Fantastic Four 2, ...

Pros: Acting, story
Cons: Changing Uncle Ben's death from the first film.

The original Spider-man is one of my favorite superhero films (limited as my exposure to them is). It expertly combines characters and plot to form an emotionally satisfying movie. I was one of the few who felt that Spider-man 2 was actually worse than ...

Pros: too much going on, not enough Venom
Cons: too lovey dovey, low on action

I love the Spider-Man movies, so of course visited the theater shortly after Spider-Man 3 was released. I don’t know why I waited so long to review it. Maybe it’s because I was upset with this movie and have just gotten of it enough ...

Pros: Good acting, FX, some interesting themes
Cons: A bit too long and slow in places, the Jared Leto look

Attention, Peter Parker: Jared Leto would like his look back. That was my wife's first comment after the lights came on after seeing Spider-Man 3 yesterday, and it is so true. A similar thought had struck me the first time we see the totally ...

Pros: Same brilliant effects; Action, and Tobey in Spandex.
Cons: Three Major villains means it lost focus.  The romance got sappy.

Spider Man 3 (2007) Directed by Sam Raimi From the Character by Steve Ditka "You know, I guess one person really can make a difference... 'Nuff said!"  Spiderman's co-creator, Stan "The Man" Lee.One of the brilliant ...

Pros: it's Spider-Man, some good special effects
Cons: bad acting, dancing!, jumbled plots, predictable

I remember watching the Saturday morning Spider-Man cartoon with my brother and have always had a certain affection for the web-slinging everyman Peter Parker. So when the first Spider-Man movie came out, I was hyped. I enjoyed both of the first two ...

Pros: Better than Batman & Robin
Cons: That ain't saying much.

Sequelitis: A terrible disease that afflicts sequels of blockbuster motion pictures. It can manifest in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to: missing stars (see Speed 2); three hour runtimes (see Pirates of the Caribbean ...

Pros: Special effects, Thomas Haden Church's casting
Cons: Dunst is annoying, Grace is miscast and too many storylines

There's a problem with Spiderman 3. A big one. Could it be the actors? Could it be the story? Could it be the special effects? Well, to tell you the truth. It's damn near everything because that's precisely what Spiderman 3 tries to be: everything. ...

Pros: We Finally see Venom!
Cons: They Ruined Him!!!

I saw this film in Montreal, that explains the weird title I chose for this review. Well, then, the long-awaited third Spider-Man film has finally been released and we finally get to see Spider-man's arguably best villain...VENOM! By the time the black ...

Pros: Good acting.
Cons: The black suit took over his personality and Spidey starts acting up.

I am a big fan of Spider Man. I used to watch the cartoons when I was growing up. The Spiderman ride is my favorite one at Universal Studio's Islands of Adventure. I saw part 1 and part 2, so when Spiderman 3 came out, I felt obligated to see it. ...

Pros: Maguire, Grace, Venom concept, Campbell cameo
Cons: Redundant, overpopulated, boring, Dunst, script, FX

A mysterious black goo from outer freakin’ not of this Earth arrives to infect Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire), turning him into the polar opposite of Spider Man (called Venom, and deserving of it’s own film as a singular Spidey villain, if you ask me) just ...

Pros: Good Cast and setup.
Cons: Bad guys are not as dangerous as they should be.

The most anticipated film of the summer, “Spider-Man 3” has arrived to the delight of moviegoers the world over. It has been roughly a little more than a year since Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire), defeated Dr. Octopus and saved the city from certain doom. ...

Pros: Cast, performances, special effects, Stan Lee's (Spidey's creator) cameo, action
Cons: New characters poorly introduced, plays with the mythos too much, some camera movements

"Peter Parker" (Tobey Maguire) has finally found balance in his less than normal life. He is finally able to manage his devotion to the love of his life, "Mary Jane 'MJ' Watson" (Kirsten Dunst). But something happens to him that gives him the biggest ...

Pros: Performances are solid, many nice special effects.
Cons: Far, far too much crammed into one movie. Too many implausible plot points.

I have written a review of this film already. However, having recently seen it for a second time, it struck me that the new look at the film changed my perspective and my opinion of it. We have an expression in French that says "Qui ...

Pros: Thomas Hayden Church/Flint Marko, James Franco/Harry Osborn
Cons: The Sandman, Most of the other characters, acting and plot, Special effects

Before I give my bottomline on "Spider-man 3," let me tell you how much I was looking forward to it. I didn't get into the whole cinematic Spider-man phenomenon the last few years as the film franchise began. I relented the last day "Spider-man" ...

Pros: Boring...boring...boring
Cons: The special effects were good, Toby looked good in tights too

We just got back from the movies a few minutes ago. We had some free tickets given to us from a friend who owns the cinema. Anyway we decided to take the grand kids and a couple neighbors. I have to admit that I am very happy the tickets were free! If I ...

Pros: Great Action
Cons: Too many villians; not enough time

At the start of the movie the plot is quickly set with all three villains of the film introduced, it starts with one night in a park, where Peter and Mary Jane are on a date. A small meteorite crashes nearby, and an alien symbiote comes out of it and ...

Pros: The best of the Spidey flicks by a nose...
Cons: When does Curt Connors make his move???

Most of the appeal of the comic book Spidey of the 60's was the continuing story of the troubled teen getting the short end of the stick after trying to save the world. The Fantastic Four basked in the limelight, the X-Men relished their unique bonding, ...

Pros: Good visuals, good story concepts, payoff to some ongoing stories
Cons: Poor establishing of mood, too much time singing and dancing, too little time with Venom

Spider-Man 3 sounds in concept like it could easily be the best movie of the franchise. It's got the dark side of Peter Parker and of Spider-Man which solidifies into my favorite SM villain, Venom (take that all you IMDB who called me dirty names for ...

Pros: Sounds effects and graphics are perfect, feel like you're right there.
Cons: characters just didn't seem to fit like they did in previous movies

Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) has figured himself out. He's now well into his career at the Daily Bugle, getting a little deeper, so he thinks. The love of his life Mary Jane (Kristen Dunst), has accepted him as Peter and as Spiderman. The town loves him, ...

Pros: Great action sequences and special effects, good performances all around
Cons: Too many subplots and villains

As far as Spidey movies go, this one fell somewhere in the middle for me. I enjoyed it more than the first movie, which spent more time setting up character and premise. But it definitely falls flat in comparison to Spiderman 2, arguably one of the best ...

Pros: Fun, good conclusion, philosophically mature
Cons: Hard-to-swallow turns of plot,

Spider-Man 3 was fun, and definitely had a lot going for it. Copious villains (Including Venom finally!), a story that re-defined the two movies before it (what we thought happened to Uncle Ben as opposed to the truth), and great forays into moral ...

Pros: Exciting action. Positive theme. Great SFX. Creative.
Cons: There may be too much going on in this movie. Don't blink.

Starring Toby Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Topher Grace, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rosemary Harris, J.K Simmons, James Cromwell, Theresa Russell, Dylan Baker, Bill Nunn, Bruce Campbell, Elizabeth Banks, Ted Raimi, and Perla ...

Pros: Tobey Maguire, James Franco, Topher Grace, Thomas Haden Church
Cons: Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane portrayal didn't match up to the comics, Venom's new suit

Spiderman once again returns to the big screen in Spiderman 3. This time around Peter Parker has finally won the heart of Mary Jane Watson yet his friendship with his ex best friend Harry Osborne has gone right out the window. Harry found out ...

Pros: action, love story, superheroes all in one movie, great acting, fun for the whole family
Cons: none

Spider-Man 3 is great for young and old, Spidey fans and people who just want to sit down and see a good movie. This movie is rated PG-13, but it isn’t bad for kids. There may have been a couple of swear words, and of course there is violence. But ...

Pros: Great action sequences; wraps up the trilogy; excellent special effects
Cons: Without giving away spoilers: too many villains, not enough character development

The final installment of the Spider-man trilogy brings the superhero franchise to an end - that we know of. Many stars and the director have stated they will not return for another movie, but who really knows once the $$$ comes in. This one finds our ...

Pros: action scenes
Cons: certain scenes caused slight boredom

Spiderman 3 although very dramatic instead of action oriented was still a good ending to a trilogy, that everyone loved similar to Lord of the Rings in terms of the ending, it was a complete ending. There were no questions to answer after the movie ...

Pros: Good story line and action packed when the fights scenes happened.
Cons: A couple of slow spots.

Peter Parker (Toby Maguire) can he be the new man "I mean spidey" in black? LOL of course he loves Mary Jane (Kristin Dunst) in Spiderman 2 he finally told her and thought that once she knew he was Spiderman she wouldn't be able to share him with the ...

Pros: Venom Looked Cool...
Cons: Everything Else...

It is stated in this review that Harry Osborne becomes 'Hobgoblin'. Well anderclayton brought it to my attention that Roderick Kingsley becomes 'Hobgoblin'. With that being said, the movies are based on the Marvel 'Ultimate' series of comics and graphic ...

Pros: A thrilling, if lengthy and complicated and mostly CGI, conclusion of the Spider-Man trilogy.
Cons: Long. Overloaded with characters and plots. Based on comic books.

SPIDER-MAN 3 was intended for Imax theatres. I saw it at home on a DVD; I can only imagine that Imax audiences were hit with seasickness in some of the scenes. As with some other franchises, there's not much point in seeing Spider-Man 3 if you ...

Pros: Action, special effects
Cons: way too much crammed in

I was really looking forward to this Spidey movie, especially with the black suit and Venom being it it.  What stunk was that they tried to pack way to much into this one movie, with the introduction of the black suit and Venom(horribly miscast ...

Pros: Great Trilogy
Cons: Harry Dies.

In this trilogy in the Spider-Man series, we see a different side of the usual Peter Parker character. This so called goody two shoes finally decides to take a walk on the wild side. Unfortunately, with his change in moral values he also risks the love ...

Pros: Great Acting, Special effects, Storyline, and Action
Cons: Could this be the last one?

Spider-man 3 is the third installation in the retelling of the Spider-man comics. This time Spider-man comes face to face with one of the most infamous Spiderman villians, Venom, as well as the Sandman. In this movie Peter must also finally face the ...

Pros: lots of humor
Cons: not enough detail

All of the Spider-man movies have been spectacular, but the third Spider-man movie has stuck out the most. For one Peter Parker is now in love with Mary Jane and plans on proposing to her. This plan changes however when he, Spider-man, becomes popular ...

Pros: Unpredictable Characters made for more suspense.
Cons: Confusing and slow at parts.

I was amazed by this movie. It had its highs and its lows. It was a little slow in spots but overall I thought it was very good. The whole "Emo" Spiderman thing threw me for a loop. Why would Spiderman wear his hair like that? I thought that the Goblin was played nicely and in a twisty fashion. He was an unpredictable character. MJ was one of the characters I loved she was a shady person in a way but she new in her heart that she loved Peter. Venom was a great addition to the team of villains. He was once again another unpredictable character. The sand man was a plot thickening idea. Peter was presented with a great choice to forgive or not and it added a nice sense of closure on the Uncle Ben part.

Pros: Venom and Sandman. Good action.
Cons: Topher Grace a bad guy? Too much in one movie.

A great movie with one downside. It was full of action and brought in Venom and Sandman. Other than Carnage, Venom is my favorite villian from the Spiderman Series. The downside is that Venom is played by none other than Topher Grace. You may know him as Eric Forman from "That 70's Show". Most have watched the show and I don't know about everyone else but him playing a bad guy is extremely hard to see. Everyone thought the same back in the day of Will Smith. Let me explain this. Will Smith played a famous character on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as we know. He did manage to drop the image fast and move on to be a great actor. Topher Grace did not seem to drop the image. I feel I was watching Eric Forman fight Spiderman. The other part of the movie I have problem with is I feel they tried to put together 3 movies into one. Venom should be a movie to himself. Having said all this. The movie is not bad. It is a great movie that I would recommend to anyone. The problems I have are me just being picky.

Pros: Spidey's dark side, Church's acting AND Bryce Dallas Howard
Cons: Way too short actions scenes, Horrible-looking Venom, over-sized sandman, Raimy's timid directing (where's James Cameron)

Once again, the producers and director refused to think big. As I have said from Spider-man 1, the same care and attention to detail that is shown with the Peter Parker (emotional) aspects of the films, is surely lacking in the Spider-man (action) scenes. These scenes ARE SIMPLY TOO SHORT - appetizer without the main course! Instead of six 1-2 minute sequences, what about three solid 15-20 minute intense fighting scenes - ala James Cameron movies. I’m no action junky, but these are, after all, SUPERHERO movies!

Great story-telling involves properly showcasing the person’s life together with the hero’s battles.
