For a Turkish movie adaptation of a comic book, you wouldn't really know what to expect. The one thing I didn't expect this movie to do is make such a popular character... nothing like him. 3 Dev Adam, or Three Giant Men, or Turkish Spider-Man as fans refer to it as. I'm not gonna address much of the plot, because it's a foreign film. It's not that I don't like foreign films (In fact, I love Felidae), I just don't speak Turkey, so I can't get much out of it. So the 3 Dev Adam in this are Spider-Man, Captain America and Santo. But this time Spider-Man is a sinister assassin who... is trying to take over the world, I guess? Wow, Jonah Jameson was right about this one; he really is a menace. It's up to Santo and Cap to foil his evil plans. Now, I know it's the seventies, but even then, this movie was pretty strange. Though, I got to appreciate it because of how funny it is. In a sex scene, it cuts to some guy laughing and playing with... gnomes? Can someone please explain to me what the h*** is going on?? At least the music is good; pretty catchy for the 70s. The quality is okay for a 70s movie, but the SpiderMan costume is pretty silly; it looks far from what the cover of the movie shows it as. There's a bit of blood, not too much, but some of the killings are pretty shocking, including one where a white rat eats a man's face off (barely shown), or SpiderMan gets his head crushed, but I digress. I'd rate this PG-13 for blood and brief sexuality; not too inappropriate. I personally rate this 7 stars out of 10; it's not a masterpiece by any means, but it does provide some enjoyment, whether or not you can figure out what the actors are saying.
