Spider Man 3

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2007)

This Spider Man is a bit too long, bigger than before and from my point of view a bit better.
There are four plots carried forward from Spider Man II  mainly his girl friend Mary Jane Watson; his friend turned enemy Osborn Junior, his grand mother and lastly his job / boss. There are a few more sub-plots  an alien black organism transforming Spider Man and later his competitive reporter to evil ones, and lastly the Sand Man. So in this movie as you must have noticed there are three enemies that Spider Man has to fight  Sand Man, Osborn Junior and the alien. With love story, action, drama and emotions - in the end Spider Man triumphs and I liked the movie just for its total entertainment value.
The Director Sam Raimi has himself taken a shot at co-writing the screenplay with his elder brother Ivan Raimi. I think Sam has handled the complicated story line in a very sophisticated way on screen. He has given ample time and scope for each character to develop. The under-lying emotion in the script is obviously the love-story of Spider Man. The friendly neighborhood Spider Man is vulnerable, funny, humane, emotional and lovable when he is Peter Parker. There are good sequences of actions spread across the whole movie from time to time. With the number of enemies growing  we become eager to watch the ending on how Spider Man will fight all of them. This Spider Man also dances and grooves like John Travolta on the street showing his mean side.
Toby Maguire excels in his role and it would be difficult to image any other face than him as Spider Man. Kristen Dust, James Franco, Thomas Hayden (as Sand Man) have played their part with director's cut.
If you ask me what is not there in the movie  I have to think a hundred times to answer that question. Everything is there. The movie has all the entertainment cliché  but I never expected more than that from a Spider Man movie.
I was happy to see for the first time - young, old, boys, girls, man and woman people  a whole range of mixed crowd enjoying the movie. Being a spectator I too enjoyed it. Take a huge bag of pop-corn, bottle of cola and chill out with die hard Spider Man fans  I think you will enjoy it more than me.
