Darker and More Extravagant

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2016)

This is, Arguably, the Highlight of the Series. Many uppity Film-Critics and jaded Fanboys have Weighed in on the Weight of the Thing, but that's the Thing. This End to the Trilogy is a Darkly Heavy Conclusion and it is a Spectacular Spider-Man to say the Least.
Director Sam Raimi and the State of the Art SFX Team, and the Returning Cast are in Full Throttle for this Last Entry in Their Series. It's like in the Early Years of its Silver Age Comics when the Monthly Titles were 12 cents and then there was that anticipated OverSized Annual, Costing a Whopping 25 cents. Excelsior!
This is Oversized and it Cost More to make. While that can Signal Trouble, Not So for this Power-Packed Picture. It is Edgier too. A Tale from a Director who Knows Dark and Edgy and Sam Raimi Lets Fly with All He's Got. Spidey. Goblin, Venom, and Sandman have Battle Scenes that are so Fantastic that they Literally Set the Bar for this Type of Thing.
The Movie Exudes Excellence from the Get-Go. It's a Non-Stop array of Births, Transformations, and shifting Personas and Allegiances that are Bizarre, Befitting its Comic-Book Roots. This one is more Gritty than the Previous Films, with some Horrific Undertones. But also Included is some Black Comedy that Lightens the Mood, but Not for Long.
Other returning Characters are here for Continuity. Of Course there's Mary Jane who provides a Love Triangle with Tragic Consequences and a Twist, J. Jonah Jameson, Aunt May, and this jam Packed Extravaganza also Introduces Gwen Stacey.
There's as much here and More than anyone Could Expect and this Extraordinary Movie is Bursting with Bravado, and Sentimentality. An Underrated Comic-Book Movie that is Exceptional Entertainment and perhaps Over Time when this First Wave of Super-Hero Movies are Not Taken so much For Granted, its Reputation and Radiance will become more Appreciated. Nuff Said.
