Entertaining, action-packed movie with few flaws, 22 May 2007
10/10
Author: MrsTobeyMaguire from United States

Spider-Man 3 director Sam Raimi had a pretty high bar set for him after directing his masterpiece comic book movie, Spider-Man 2. Spider-Man 2 is said to be the best superhero movie ever made, and topping it is nearly impossible. For the third film, Raimi tried to make a bigger movie instead of a better one. He succeeded. Spider-Man 3 has more of everything. More villains, more love story, more fight scenes. It's bigger, but it's not necessarily better.

One of Spiderman's biggest flaws is too much in too little of time. Too many villains and too many characters seemed to drag the film down a bit. But no matter, Raimi seems to catch your attention, right before you drown into all the nonsense, with his breathtaking action sequences. Unfortunately, there was simply not enough time to make a flawless movie with all the characters, villains and plots they throw at you in spider-man 3. However, you will be entertained. I guarantee you that; with the genius action sequences and the comedy, it seems to me that spider-man 3 just has a double dose of everything, some good, and some bad.

Luckily unlike those other failed third superhero movies, Spider-Man 3 is the first of its kind to keep the same cast and crew together through three films. That's enough to keep it swinging. Still there's no denying that trying to squeeze so many different villains into a single movie hurts it.

Yes, there were some cheesy parts of the movie, but what is a superhero movie without them! It's a comic book movie for goodness sakes! Howevever, if you go into the movie, leaving behind your realistic thinking; hence black goo coming from outer space with no explanation on how, you'll be able to sit back and enjoy one of the most entertaining superhero movies around.
