The Best Action Ever Presented on Film!

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 2007)

Spider-Man 3 is a spectacular movie. It's the best of the three and it certainly has the most depth. Everything in this movie is exceedingly better in the sequel. Characters and plot lines that were introduced in the first two films are now given room to thrive and find their own voice and their own distinctiveness. The plot becomes more intricate, the situations become more dire. No comic book movie has ever dug as deep as Spider-Man 3 does here-- these are not only the most complex characters I've ever seen in a super hero movie, they are so well written and full of small, personal moments that they transcend their origins and become living, breathing people whom have pasts, presents and futures. Harry and his emotional baggage, Peter and his multiple dilemmas and inter struggles, Marko and his tragic reason for being a villain, Aunt May and her wisdom all advance a story that we deeply care about. Then, when super powers collide it means more but it's also some of the best action ever presented on film.
