Spider-man 3

[Lundstorm]

The worlds most expensive film is finally here!


Spider-Man 3 is a movie that delivers all the good stuff an action movie has to offer!


Everything seems to go alright for Peter Parker. His lovelife could not be better, he goes to school and does his homework and he is loved by the cityfolks as Spider-Man. Yes everything seems to work out fine for Peter. His only major problem at this point is Harry Osborn. Harry thinks that Peter killed his father and is now planning on settle it once and for all! But that is not the only problem that shows up... Flint Marko who is an thief and a murderer escapes prison to deal with his sick daughter. But he doesn't make it very far. During a try to escape the cops, Flint climbs over a high fence and finds himself being right in an laboratory test, He's molecules become sand and now he becomes a man made of sand basicly. And of course about halfway into the movie Spidey turns dark from this weird black goo really that attaches itself to people and bring out their worst personalities. Peter then uses this black suit to stop Flint Marko who is the real killer of uncle Ben. What a mess huh? Well it gets worse... Spider-Man desides to get rid of the black suit and the mantle lands on Eddie Brock, a rival photographer to Peter at Daily Bugle. Eddie gets infected by this black goo and now becomes Venom.
Plus his lovelife with Mary Jane is starting to drop. So everything turns from good to bad basicly. Peter will have to set things right and it is not an easy task...

Does the movie concept work?:

Yes it does! To a certain level. I think that there are to many characters in the film at once and you don't really get to know them very well. For example Flint Marko, I would have loved to see some more of him and his character just to know him a little bit better. I think they could have skipped Venom. He's just not important to the story and doesn't add anything good. They could have saved him for maybe Spider-Man 4 or something. And also, WHY THE HELL IS GWEN STACY IN IT!!!??? She also doesn't bring anything important to the story and is just causing problems for Peter. Venom and Gwen Stacy just feel like an poor attempt to please some geeky Spider-Man fans. This makes the movie almost worthy maybe 2/5 in my opinion. But that's not the case thank god. You see then there is these moments where the movie steps up! With great touching drama scenes and some really cool action and of course great humour scenes! Like in one part of the film where Peter loves his new life as the "Dark Spider" and decides to do a little saturday night fever dance on the street then later to hit a jazzclub and do a dance number! Thats right, a dance number! Where Peter uses his powers to performe a really cool dance! It may sound cheesy and lame but it's hilarious and actauly one of the highlights of the whole movie!

Spider-Man 3 may not be as good as the first two films but it's absolutely not bad! Go and see our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man now! You don't want to miss it!


Grade: 4/5 Best: All the action scenes are brilliant!
Worst: Gwen Stacy and Venom is just too much!

I saw it earlier today, felt it was about 20 minutes to long, the story line was weaker than the 1st 2 and near the end I just wanted it over. It was like the end of the 3rd lord of the rings movie; it would end, fade out, go to another scene, end, fade out and yet another end scene.

Great intro and special effects, people and kids will love it. I was happy I went during the day and only paid 6 bux to see it, rather than full price though.

I just came back from it, and although the effects and fighting sequences are jaw-dropping, when nothing is going on, the movie is terrible. I think that one of the problem is, like you said, that there are too many characters so it's hard to get a nice story when you have to see what is going on which each character.

Stan Lee's appereance was fun to see and Bruce Campbell was absolutely hilarious! God, I love that man!

I agree that it was hard to get into the Sandman story mainly because they have been promoting the black suit and Venom so much that you just cannot wait to see him! But the Sandman and the Goblin should have been enough to keep us entertained and have Venom at the end to keep us craving for the 4th one.

Sandman: Could have been great! His scenes were badass! Specially the last fight. But he gets overshadow by the fact that Venom is in it. His story could have been great, but at the end it's kinda weak...too bad, I really liked how he was presented and made into a real bad ass.

The Goblin: His scenes were cool, but Harry Osborn alwasy looked like a joke! Or as a friend would say, a p*ssy! They tried to hard to make him look bad, only to see him become a "good guy". His new board was kinda cool and the explosive pumpkins are terrific, but again he doesn't look like a tough guy.

Venom: I was a little dissapointed with Topher Grace, there is something wrong about him playing that character, he doesn't make Venom look so unbelievable mean and bad ass as the one from the comics is. I agree that he didn't bring anything amazing, he should have had his "own" movie. Then the story would have been better. I must agree that the transformation was totally bad ass and looked great.

Gwen Stacy: Pointless and waste of time

Mary Jane: Useless, she didn't look like an important character! She looked like a secondary and unimportant part of the story.

Spidey: As spiderman he was brilliant, loved every one of his scenes. As Peter Parker, he was brutal...always whinning and crying and he didn't look mean at all.

Still, I think its a good movie and entertaining, but it's not the best as a lot of critics have been saying. However, the effects and CGIs are pretty bad ass, the whole black costume theme and when the black costume becomes Venom it looks sooo nice because that is what lots of people were expecting to see.

Rating: 7 / 10

Good:
Fighting sequences
The Animations look more real
The Black Costume looks so sweet
The final battle with that huge ass sandman
Eddie transforming to Venom
Bruce Campbell

Bad:
The dancing scenes
Too many charactersr
Peter being a whinny bitch again
Mary Jane was just horrible
Venom is not as bad ass as he is supposed to be
Too many crying and girly moments (no offense girls )
Gwen Stacy (useless, pointless and not even THAT hot)

Going to see it in about 2hours. Can't wait!!

These Spiderman movies are too cartoonish in the SFX for my liking. This latest one was pretty ordinary and a waste of money. 4/10.

Bring on the Transformers!

went and saw this with my gf on Friday. I thought it was a pretty cool movie - probably the best of the Spiderman's. I did think however it was funny as hell when he went emo, I just pissed myself laughing.
