Pretty Good, but Ultimately Disappointing

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2014)

Spider-Man 3 (2007) - The first time I saw this movie (The Midnight Premiere ) it was my favorite movie yet. Which is a part of the reason I still like it today. Don't get me wrong, this movie has it's flaws. LOTS. The movie starts off with Peter going to see one of Mary Jane's plays, Harry also shows up but does not confront Peter because he's still mad at Peter. After the show Pete and MJ go to watch the stars and start to make out. While they were making out a meteorite falls from the sky. This meteor contains the symbiote, the symbiote latches on to Petes bike, and Pete and MJ leave. Later on Pete goes to see his aunt. This scene probably has the most heartfelt (and best written ) lines in the movie. Pete tells May he wants to marry MJ, and Aunt May gives Pete her wedding ring. Pete leaves and out of the blue a masked villain attacks him. He takes off the mask and it turns out to be Harry. Harry ends up getting hit in the head, and loses his memory. Harry, Pete, and MJ are all friends, meanwhile Sandman was created. Later on in the city a crane loses control and swings into a building, this building happens to have Gwen Stacy in it. The blow from the crane sends Gwen falling. This scene is one of the best scenes in the movie, because it's classic spidey. The CG looks great, and the Color Saturation Beautiful. The rest is pretty much filler at best, with an exception of a few scenes, like the one where Pete hits MJ, That was pretty heavy. Overall the movie had a good idea, weighed down by to many characters, and a few questionable dance scenes. The directing is done beautifully as to be expected by Sam Raimi. I realize the film has issues, bu I will always love it to some degree, because it was my first premier. 7/10
