It's Different and Darker

Rating: 5/10 (7 May 2007)

The highly anticipated final chapter of the popular Spider-Man trilogy sees Peter and Mary Jane finally together, but three new enemies, the Sandman, Venom and Spidey's old enemy, the New Goblin, his best friend, Harry Osborn, threatens the lives of people close to Peter.
I don't know if I could include this in one of the best superhero films ever but this is a very good one. In contrast with the critics who didn't like the film because of too many plot lines, too many villains, and just too long, I have to disagree with them.
Yeah, I believe it was too long but I really thought it was great for them to make more plot lines to finally solve the sub plots from the last 2 movies. And I love the fact that there are more villains, which means more action. The action scenes are very good in the film, as you can suspect. You can feast your eyes on the fantastic visuals from the beginning credits to the last battle scene at the end. Oh, and it's darker meaning the small family film from the first two movies is gone. It's more adultish right now.
One problem with the movie is that the pacing is too fast. It's the beginning of the movie and about 10 minutes later, there's a huge fight sequence. Yeah, I like that but there are a lot of action in this movie. I also didn't like the fact that most of the characters of the film is changed. Their personalities had changed. Mary Jane isn't the sweet girl anymore and so on...
As you can also suspect, there are the cameos from Stan Lee and Bruce Campbell, which surprisingly both have a longer screening time and actually has talking roles, well, for Stan Lee and a longer talking role for Bruce Campbell. The acting by Tobey Maguire was decent but nothing great like the second one.
This film is already a box office hit and you might as well see it to participate in the film's breaking record in the box office. If you haven't seen the first two films and you want to see this, I should tell you the credit scene in the beginning spoils the first two film. This film isn't the best in the series (not better than 2) but it's certainly better than the first movie.
