![]() Spider-Man is probably one of the best known characters for the general public thanks to the proliferation not only of the comics, but also of the series, films and video games created about this character.Įnter the Marvel universe. ![]() But it could've been better.Marvel comics are famous all over the world, and many of the main characters of these stories can be recognized almost instantly. Other flaws were that the scripting lacked freshness and authenticity and the film was a bit too long. Second, the plot as result to cramming too much in particularly with the idea of Spider-Man turning bad was rather convoluted, and was further disadvantaged by some surprisingly stodgy pacing. Whereas you felt the menace of the Green Goblin and the tragedy of Dr Octopuss you are not always sure what to think here. Venom especially had way too little screen time as a result, and the final showdown between them felt a tad on the contrived side. While they were well performed, the character development of the villains felt rushed. Primarily the villains, here, we get not one but three villains. ![]() Basically and most importantly, and this was a similar problem I had with Pirates of the Caribbean:At World's End, it all felt a bit bloated. However, there are a number of things that made it inferior to the first two. I loved JK Simmons as Jameson, in all three Spider-Man movies he stole every scene he appeared in. James Franco is an improvement as Harry, and Bryce Dallas Howard is delightfully photogenic as Gwen Stacey. Topher Grace is great as Brock but underused as Venom, but as Sandman Thomas Haden Church was note perfect and the best developed of the villains. And the acting is very good, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst are appealing as Peter and Mary-Jane and Rosemary Harris sparkles as Auntie May. The music is excellent, and the direction was efficient enough. The look of the whole film is mind blowing, with splendid special effects, brilliantly choreographed fight sequences and spectacular set pieces. Out of the three films, this one is the best visually. ![]() But it is still enjoyable, however I did think the first two were better in terms of plot, characterisation and pacing. By all means, Spider-Man 3 is not a bad movie, but the many flaws with the film make it the weakest of the series. ![]()
