Product Description:
Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) finally has the girl of his dreams, Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), and New York City is in the throes of Spider-mania! But when a strange alien symbiote turns Spider-Man¿s suit black, his darkest demons come to light changing Spider-Man inside as well as out. Spider-Man is in for the fight of his life against a lethal mix of villains - the deadly Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), Venom (Topher Grace), and the New Goblin (James Franco) - as well as the enemy within himself.
Amazon.com:
How does Spider-Man 3 follow on the heels of its predecessor, which was widely considered the best superhero movie ever? For starters, you pick up the loose threads from that movie, then add some key elements of the Spidey comic-book mythos (including fan-favorite villain Venom), the black costume, and the characters of Gwen Stacy and her police-captain father. In the beginning, things have never looked better for Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire): He's doing well in school; his alter ego, Spider-Man, is loved and respected around New York City. And his girlfriend, Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), has just taken a starring role in a Broadway musical. But nothing good can last for Spidey. Mary Jane's career quickly goes downhill; she's bothered by Peter's attractive new classmate, Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard); and the new Daily Bugle photographer, Eddie Brock (Topher Grace), is trying to steal his thunder. Enter a new villain, the Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), who can transform his body into various forms and shapes of sand and who may be connected to Peter's past in an unexpected way. There's also the son of an old villain, Harry Osborne (James Franco), who unmasked Spidey in the previous movie and still has revenge on his mind. And a new black costume seems to boost Spidey's powers, but transforms mild-mannered Peter into a mean and obnoxious boor (Maguire has some fun here).
If that sounds like a lot to pack into one 140-minute movie, it is. While director Sam Raimi keeps things flowing, assisted on the screenplay by his brother Ivan and Alvin Sargent, there's a little too much going on, and it's inevitable that one of the villains (there are three or four, depending on how you count) gets significantly short-changed. Still, the cast is excellent, the effects are fantastic, and the action is fast and furious. Even if Spider-Man 3 isn't the match of Spider-Man 2, it's a worthy addition to the megamillion-dollar franchise. --David Horiuchi

Yes, this movie is a little cliche and has three villains and plots, but is entertaining. Most people will agree that this could have been at least two separate movies. With pressure from the studio that this would be the last of the Spider-Man franchise the director tried to fit as much in as he could, with mixed results.
Because this item was once included with Playstation 3's a while back, it is a very common Blu Ray and has decreased in value. If you don't have this movie in your collection, the price makes the decision to add it to your collection a little easier.

I'll open by saying I love this movie.
I'll continue by adding that I don't understand why some complain about "too many villains" when that alone captures the very essence of your friendly neighborhood spider-man - he's just a busy guy!
All the aspects of the story were powerful and compelling, and I didn't lose interest for one single moment. I loved every minute of "Spider-man 3" and I'm glad that the finished production turned out the way it did.
The Blu-ray presentation of "Spider-man 3" is fantastic, both visually and acoustically.
It's easily a favorite!

At the beginning of the movie, Spidey/Peter has it made. School's going well; the city loves Spider-Man; Mary Jane has a part on Broadway; and Peter's planning on asking Mary Jane to marry him. But you know that can't last.
And it doesn't.
Mary Jane's show closes after one performance. Peter's former friend Harry Osborne is out for revenge, as the New Goblin, influenced by his father's spirit. The Bugle has a new photographer who's out for Peter's job, and who has a great success plan: prove Spider-Man is a bad guy. An alien symbiote bonds Peter to his suit, turning it black, amplifying his powers, and changing his personality. One of Peter's classmates, Gwen, is getting his attention and driving a wedge between him and Mary Jane. And as if that's not enough, Uncle Ben's real killer, who's only stealing money for his little girl, gets changed into the Sandman, a creature made of (what else?) sand. Oh, yes. Peter gets away from the symbiote, but it attaches to the ambitious photographer, who enjoys the power and becomes Venom.
Did I leave anything out?
That's really the whole/only problem I had with Spider-Man 3--it was just way too busy. Even at almost 2.5 hours, it still felt too rushed. Plenty of people have written opinions of which parts should have been cut or left out, but I'm not that picky--just get rid of one of the villains and one of the personal-life problems, and I'd be a happy camper.

Hopes were very high for the third installment of the tremendously successful SPIDER-MAN franchise. Almost all of the team which created the first two films were back, and the promise of Venom (a fan favorite) made it a guaranteed opening weekend smash.
As to the film itself--
SPIDER-MAN 3 succeeds on most levels. Scripting is tight, considering the myriad plot threads introduced, ported over from previous films, and newly introduced. Sam Raimi helms the unwieldy ship like an old pro, and the actors bring their camaraderie back to help it along. The main thing that nagged at me (and, after seeing it several times, continues to nag) is that the poetry of Alvin Sargent's SPIDEY 2 screenplay is all but gone. In its place are exchanges that, while serviceable and advance the plot, don't really touch the heart except in a couple of places. Now, let's be fair: SPIDEY 2 was pretty much a perfect movie, and that is impossible to duplicate. To me, the screenplay was too much Sam and Ivan Raimi, and not enough Alvin Sargent. Of course, Sargent may have touched all the bases he wished to with the previous film, and had nothing really new to interject. Sam and Ivan's story is sturdy and moves just fine, rarely taking a breath. Maybe that's the problem.
Now, that may sound like I didn't like the film: on the contrary, I did. Just not in the same way that I loved SPIDEY 2. Things I like: 1) using the sound effect from the 1978 INVASION OF THE ... Read More
