Spider-Man 3 [Blu-ray]
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: 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.

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
