Spider-Man 3

This still is a great movie even if it felt like two separate movies stacked on top of each other. This would've worked really well if maybe they had more time to put everything together.

Tobey Maguire isn't that great of an actor when it comes to playing a bad guy, but it still was enjoyable for me to see him take on a different role. We've gotten so used to seeing him the friendly neighborhood that he is. It was nice to see him change up things a bit.

I'm not hating on the studio for doing a bad job on this one but this is just what happens when you try to please everybody. It's such a shame that the original Spider Man franchise had to end like this. I wanted it to be so much more memorable.

There's just simply too much going on. You can't have romance between two main characters, a conflict between best friends, an inner battle with the protagonist, and two villains each having their own storyline all in just one film. It's just spread out too much that no one really gets a chance for character or story development.

Sure the fight scenes were cool and all but wouldn't it have more sense to just follow a single storyline rather than having 4-5 plots colliding with each other?

I love Spider-Man but this has got to be the worst film out of the three original films.

I love it as much as the first two films!

It was way different than the first Spider-Man films but I appreciate it for what it is - a darker, more complex film.

I'm just happy that we have such a great ending to an epic trilogy. Even though it wasn't what we expected, it still holds up.

There are a couple of flaws with this film but I believe that they didn't entirely destroy the movie.

If only they could've done a better job with Spider Man 3. It would've been up there together with Matrix as one of the few trilogies that didn't suck.

Even though Spider Man 3 was not as good as the first two, I still want to thank Tobey Maguire and everyone else for putting out a lot of effort to give us an ending to the first Peter Parker.

An actually good superhero film that is barely topped nowadays-- even compared to the moneymaking machine that is the MCU. A few exceptions are The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Man of Steel, and Spider-Verse, that's about it really. A really underrated and overhated film.

This is a bit of a mess of ideas, this film, and to be honest - I think Tobey Maguire has rather outgrown the part. His youthful vigour has gone and his sense of mischief is really overplayed as this struggles to fill 2¼ hours. It's been three years since the last outing and now he is dating the would-be Broadway star "Mary Jane" (Kirsten Dunst) - who knows all about his alter-ego, whilst "Harry" (James Franco) is out to avenge his father. An early set-to between junior "Goblin" and our webbed wonder sees the former awaken in hospital with memory loss, so maybe things will all just revert to normal with our our happy triumvirate? Of course not. Escaping felon "Marko" (Thomas Haden Church) - the man who killed "Uncle Ben" finds himself caught up in a secret molecular testing process that sees his body reduced to sand. That's proves quite useful for a man who is intent on robbing banks to get the cash to pay for treatment for his ill daughter. As if he wasn't going to be enough of an bucketful for "Spidey", there's also an alien entity that landed on the back of a meteor and that has attached itself to our hero, encouraging his nasty side to take prominence. That's equally handy for him as he discovers that fellow photographer "Eddie" (Topher Grace) is after his job. With battles to fight on just about every front, no wonder the frazzled "Peter" starts making erratic choices that even the sagely "Aunt Mae" (Rosemary Harris) can't help with. Danny Elfman and Christopher Young might as well have written the script as their themes/score sets much of the tempo for a film that's trying to cram too many undercooked storylines into it - and not really doing justice to any of them. It clutters things up with the tiresome on/off romantic liaisons between the under-used Dunst and her boyfriend and there's just no menace here at all. There are a few moments of amusement, entirely from the brief scenes featuring J.K. Simmons as their tyrannical editor who must learn to control his blood pressure, but sadly I think Sam Raimi just ran out of ideas to keep this from slipping into a web of repetition and mediocrity.
