Editorial Review: Product Description: Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church Director: Sam Raimi Amazon.co.uk: 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 film, 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great!I was really looking forward to the DVDs coming and they did so very quickly even though I was told it would be atleast a week. The box had a little tea and one of the cases had a broken plastic bit, but I wasn't expecting it to be in perfect condition, it did have to go through the post. So the films were awesome! I loved them! A very good buy, for a very good value! Rating:  - Dark SpideyAfter the immense success of the first two films, I was really excited to go and see Spiderman 3. The whole ad campaign for this film was about internal darkness 'The battle within', as the posters said. I expected a darker and more serious Spidey, however this film turned out to be responsible for some the silliest and craziest scenes I've ever seen in a superhero movie (that dance scene in the street, for example. Funny? Yes. Needed? NO.) One major disappointment was the way this film handled ...

Poorly edited, poorly written, poorly directed, and just generally poorly put together. The other two films were good fun, then I guess they grew complacent as they thought they had a guaranteed audience, so strung the film together with no thought at all. The straw on the camels back was the shot of swinging in front of the American flag. I don't care much for American patriotism in films anyway, but if you are going to include ...

Well i'd like to skip the first film, which in a word was enjoyable with the usual problem of predictability. Spiderman 2, this is where things could've either escalated to lofty heights or crashed and burned, unfortunately, it burned. The focus of the film seems too heavily focused on Peter Parkers life outside of spiderman and he really isnt a very likable character, he's whiney and ...
