Spider-Man 3 (2007)

 Genre: Superhero
Directed by: Sam Raimi
Cast: Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church
Running Time: 139 minutes


 

All the while being overtaken by an extraterrestrial symbiote that alters his personality, Peter Parker must juggle Spider-Man’s newfound fame in New York, his rocky relationship with MJ and three new villains: his former best friend Harry Osborn; Flint Marko, uncle Ben’s true killer, who is turned into The Sandman by a freak accident, and Eddie Brock, a rival photographer at the Daily Bugle, who then becomes Venom.

While the visual effects are evidently still spectacular, this third installment in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man franchise suffers greatly from a lack of focus. There are too many villains, with too many switches and swerves also. It is like they tried to squeeze three movies into one. The acting is mostly good, though that dance scene and the teary-eyed stuff at the end was overly sappy for no good reason.
