Spider-Man 3 - Movie Review

"Spider-Man 3"

Scorecard Review

Jeff: Plot oddities, padding keep ‘Spider-Man 3’ from greatness

Plot: Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) finally is comfortable with his life. He’s in love with Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst), and all of New York loves Spider-Man. But an odd black substance falls from the sky and bonds to his Spider-Man suit. And Gwen Stacy develops a crush on Peter. Plus, the Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), Harry Osborn (James Franco) and Venom (Topher Grace) all want to see either Peter Parker or Spider-Man disappear.

Who’s it for: It’s clear that the “Spider-Man” films appeal to everyone, but I would say the third installment leans more toward people who care about love-triangles.

Expectations: The first was good, the second was one of the best super-hero films ever, so using a highly technical scientific formula, I have concluded “Spider-Man 3” should be the greatest film known to man.
