 This is yet another Great Spidey Sequel June 29, 2008
I admit it, I'm a Baby Boomer, and have been a Spider-Man fan since he was first introduced in the 1960's.
I confess that, like so many others growing up, I put aside comics, reluctantly, in the 1980's. Ok, so I hung onto comics till I was in my 30's.
In the decades since, I've missed many Spider-Man stories, and many changes in Peter Parker and the Spider-Man.
I was familiar with Green Goblin & Sandman, but not with Eddie Brock. I read something about Venom, but don't remember much.
The recent Spider-Man movies have done a great job of portraying a very interesting super hero in the Marvel style.
Peter Parker has finally united with Mary Jane. But he still lives in the crappy little apartment with a door that only Peter can handle. Peter is still struggling to earn a living, and Eddie Brock is there to challenge his limited progress.
Then Spidey finds the black suit, and sees a more powerful, darker side of himself. The lives of Peter Parker and Spider-Man are threatened, as is Peter's relationship with Mary Jane.
The movie's portrayal of the new Peter Parker is rather silly in so many ways. The silliest part is Peter's song and dance routine. But then a little comedy is good for a super hero comic or movie.
The Venom story by itself was a challenge for a movie, but add the Sandman and the new Green Goblin... I was surprised that Spider-Man would survive.
But then there was a certain twist of fate, or surprise alliance, wasn't there?
Watch the movie and see.
This is another excellent addition to my collection.
LOVED Spiderman 3 June 26, 2008
OK... I just don't know what all the complaining is about. Spidey 3 was a phenomenal movie. The story continued from #2, the action scenes looked amazing and there were fanstastic acting performances from all the major players. It had heart and substance and a great moral. I can't wait to watch it again on Blu-Ray!
The trilogy ends on a high note. June 25, 2008
While part 3 isn't nearly as good as part 2.
It's still strong enough to stand on it's own as a great movie.
I loved the sandman and venom.
Two awesome villains and the continued feud between Harry and Pete, the continued romance of Pete and Mary Jane.
AWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole thing gets wrapped up in a neat little package and it's a great finale to a superb trilogy.
I'm sure they'll end up doing a part 4.
I hope not, three was enough and without the original cast, I don't know if I'd even bother seeing it.
Spidey 3 was a knockout.
Highly recommended.

"It was Really Good!!"

 Good Trilogy June 21, 2008
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.
