Sandman is Forgiven.

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2015)

Spider-Man 3 (2007): Dir: Sam Raimi / Cast: Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Thomas Hayden Church, Topher Grace, James Franco: Could this be the best of the franchise? It certainly ties everything off nicely. Spider-Man faces two villains in Venom and Sandman as well as attacks from a previous nemesis. Directed by Sam Raimi who completes his second trilogy with the other being the Evil Dead films. Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker who wrestles with issues of revenge once a black substance attaches itself. This allows Maguire an opportunity to present a darker side to Parker. Kirsten Dunst as Mary-Jane questions her future with Parker especially when her Broadway career is questionable. Thomas Haden Church as Sandman is connected with the death of Parker's uncle. His back story involves surviving and struggling to feed his family and a mistake he makes in the process. His transformation as well as the fallen Venom substance needed more explanation. Topher Grace plays a rival photographer who becomes the menacing Venom. His purpose is to present the downfall of pride and how it destroys him. James Franco spirals into the new Goblin with Mary-Jane on the brain and Parker attempting an alliance if possible. These films are strictly entertainment and at that they succeed. Awesome special effects backed with those freeing words, "I forgive you." Score: 8 / 10
