Forced to choose between the seductive power of the new suit and the compassionate hero he used to be, Peter must overcome his personal demons as two of the most-feared villains yet, Sandman (Thomas Haden Church's Flint Marko) and Venom (the transformed version of Topher Grace's Eddie Brock), gather unparalleled power and a thirst for retribution to threaten Peter and everyone he loves.
Expectations. Discussions. Reviews. Let's go.

I don't do it, myself. I imagine those crowds are terrible people to watch a movie with. I go in the daytime when things are more calm.

Speaking of which, the bonus DVD that comes along with the new 2.1 edition of Spider-Man includes info on Venom, evidently. Remember when those fucktards were going aroud saying "THEY'RE SMART! YOU DONN'T HYPE THE END OF THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

So...Can we just call them morons for this?

me....

I plan on seeing it with a crowd and without a crowd.

Seeing it with a crowd sometimes makes the movie better...just to hear the crowd reaction...many people might not like it but to see something big happen and then suddenly hear a huge "Fuck Yeah" yelled from the crowd actually makes it better for me.

Just for a quick reference I will mention X3....went to the midnight showing of that...kicked so much ass with a crowd...then after I saw it with a small crowd with no real reaction I realized that it wasnt as great as I thought.

Can't wait either. Although I'll wait for a few days when there aren't as many people. I hate sitting in crowded cinemas.

Also, this is the first film I've seen at a theater since X-Men 2.

I have no worries about how good this movie is gonna fucking rule, for me anyway. The ONLY thing I want, is that it does indeed end on a note for a continuation, and with very good quality in the execution of such a notion.

While you're watching Saim Raimi's Spider-Man 3, look out for the proverbial kitchen sink, and even the cuddly toy from TV's Generation Game; everything's been thrown at this movie. Some of it hits the target (the CGI, the action), but crucial parts don't (the script, the pacing, half of the subplots).

The film opens with life all hunky dory for Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) and M.J. (Kirsten Dunst); Spider-Man's got celebrity status in New York and M.J. is a working actress. However, domestic bliss doesn't last long. A meteor crashes to Earth and black alien slime, the symbiote that will cause so much havoc, makes a beeline for our hero who inadvertently takes the stuff home.

And the troubles pile up: on the run from the cops, small-time crook Flint Marko (Thomas Hayden Church) meets with an accident and becomes Spidey's formidable foe, The Sandman. Then there's New Goblin, alter ego of Peter Parker's best friend Harry Osborn (James Franco).

When Harry isn't busy trying to kill Spidey and avenge his father's death, he's wooing M.J. But that's not the only romantic entanglement. Y'see there's Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard - stunning as a blonde), Peter Parker's hot lab partner who not only ignites M.J.'s jealously, but also attracts Eddie Brock's interest (Topher Grace). Who's Eddie?

Well, he's a photographer at the Daily Bugle involved in a not-very-friendly rivalry with Peter Parker. In the wrong place at the wrong time, he changes into deadly opponent Venom and joins the ever-lengthening queue of Spidey haters.

Are you with me so far? Who'd blame you if you weren't because Spider-Man 3's first hour plays like a soap opera thanks to the self-indulgent, run-of-the-mill script: love triangles, familial secrets, relationship woes - there's even good ol' amnesia.

A pity a more sizeable chunk of the reported $250 million budget didn't go towards a decent screenplay. Far too many characters are squeezed into the bum-numbing 140 minutes and most of them suffer from a woeful lack of development as a direct result: Gwen Stacy abruptly disappears; Eddie Brock's back story is thinner than a size zero model; Harry's butler Bernard appears from nowhere to save Spidey's skin with a hackneyed disclosure and a revelation centring around Flint Marko and Spidey's Uncle Ben is so contrived, it would insult even the limited intelligence of yer average WAG.

A huge bone of contention is the symbiote which supposedly unleashes great inner conflict within Peter Parker, bringing out his dark, vengeful side. However, the movie largely chooses to convey this by paying homage to Saturday Night Fever; see Petey strut! See Petey dance! See Petey wear a snazzy suit! See Petey hit on the chicks! It's a fun sequence at first, but it drags on too long and it's not exactly evil Superman getting jiggy with Lorelei Ambrosia, is it? The closest Peter Parker comes to that is demanding biscuits from Ursula (the fabulously kooky girl in his building).

I lost count of the superfluous plots and subplots that really should've been cut. Numerous pointless scenes take valuable time away from essential ones (Harry and M.J. doing the twist to Chubby Checker while cooking an omelette - what the heck was that about?). A perfect example of this is Eddie Brock/Venom's fate; he should've been one of the best villains to grace a superhero film as he matches Spider-Man's powers in every way.

Instead, he's treated almost as an afterthought. Eddie Brock/Venom was crying out for his own movie and what happens to him in Spider-Man 3 is nothing short of a disgrace.

Poor pacing sees a slow build-up to a rushed ending, but at least there are fine performances from the likes of James Franco (superb as Harry Osborn); Thomas Hayden Church (who brings real melancholic depth to his villain-with-a-heart); J. K. Simmons (hilarious but underused as J. Jonah Jameson); Bryce Dallas Howard (far better than the part she's given) and Bruce Campbell (in his customary cameo, this time as a French maître d' who's a cross between Basil Fawlty and Inspector Clouseau). The two leads are also good, however both were better in the previous movies.

Yes, the action set-pieces and CGI is often stunning (The Sandman's 'birth' will make your jaw drop), but after the incredibly high standards set by Spider-Man, and especially Spider-Man 2, this third entry is a disappointment. It's still an entertaining movie, just not a great one. In Star Wars original trilogy-speak, Spider-Man 2 is The Empire Strikes Back: darker, edgier, more emotionally mature. Spider-Man 3 is Return Of The Jedi, right down to the musical interludes. It only needed an Ewok or two…

If excess equalled success, Spider-Man 3 would be a triumph on all levels. Instead, it's the most flawed of the franchise.

I can't say I'm disappointed.

Don't get me wrong; I'll see Spidery opening weekend. It's just Pirates is the one movie I'm itching to see, and I really think it deserves the top spot. Shrek's going to pretty much deliver what the last two did, and Spider-Man will be on par with the last two.

I mean, for all the flaws that the reviewer complained of, they were mostly present in the previous two, which he seemed to like. Plot holes and logic that's insulting to everyone but the OEC club and a dozen of Bush's closest friends. Raimi's a B-movie director with a large budget. The movies, while decent, ain't exactly the stunning masterpieces people tend to expect.

But kung fu, explosions, and Matrix-esque effects will make it a solid summer movie.

The Spiderman franchise has been done phenomenally IMO. Raimis a B-movie director with a large budget...well, that is true I suppose, but who else isn't? Peter Jackson and Spielberg are too. Gore Verbinski isn't exactly the best.

I do like Pirates, but I'm not really excited for Pirates 3, because I was in a lot of ways dissapointed with part 2. It's also pissed me off that Pirates has been shoved down my throat everywhere I turn and look for the past year. That's just my opinion, of course you can enjoy and anticipate any movie you want just as I can. I'm sure Pirates and Spidey will both bring in big money, and it will be interesting to see who has a better Summer. Probably Pirates because of the kiddies and Disney.

I'd argue on Spielberg, but even if I argued in favor of any or none of them, that's a poor defense.

Spider-Man has been rather decent, but please. When pro wrestling logic makes more sense than your logic, you lose any right to the phrase "phenomenal." The entire series comes off as rushed, and not for those stupid "how do you expect it to translate into a movie?" Excuses. Those are bullshit. Comic books have 2 dimensional characters, and the movies still can't capture the depth of an inherrently shallow genre. That's poor storytelling. And I think that they ran out of time when they came up with the "self confidence" idea.

I'm not exactly sure how pirates have been shoved down our throats this year, any more than previously, but whatever floats your boat.

Jesus dude, I just wanted to disagree with you in thinking that Spiderman is superior to Pirates. It's my opinion. No need to attack me and my credibility and bring up wrestling discussion which has nothing to do with this. Chill out. I can call what ever I damn well please phenomenal, and you don't have a chokehold on logic bro.

Jesus, aren't you the oversensitive little bitch?

"It was just my opinion" so why are you being so hostile?

Anyway, the real reason I came to this thread was the ad I just saw that advertised that Venom is coming, and proceeded to show several shots. Mostily stuff we've seen before, but still.

I don't see how a reviewer can say there are too many storylines to follow while complaining that the movie needed a better screenplay. Shut up. It's an action movie and you're trying too hard to make this deep.

I really hope Raimi makes all 6 films, with Maguire and Dunst in all of them. Would make the whole story as credible and significant, and put the whole franchise on par, if not more on a personal level with the Star Wars saga.

Having 6 movies doesn't automatically make you on par with the Star Wars saga. Having a trilogy doesn't either. Anytime a continuing series comes along, it gets labled or compared as the "next Star Wars". Star Wars is Star Wars and that's that. There can be other film series with the same amount of installments, or even with a similar release schedule and anticipation as Star Wars, but nothing will be the next Star Wars. Everyone said the Matrix would be, and then Lord of The Rings. Now people say Harry Potter and Pirates of the Carribean, and Spiderman. They've all been tremendously successful and hugely popular, but nothing like Star Wars was in it's time.
Bottom line is it's all just film franchises that are what they are, and have some similarities in their structure and release and public perception. But those similarities are because Star Wars set the bar and is the basis of comparison for any series to follow. None of it is the next Star Wars.
