Spider-man 1: What a masterpiece Spider-man 2: Could you do any better Spider-man 3: What on earth happened
The film plots around after the second instalment of the Spider-man franchise, where Peter Parker/Spider-man (Tobey Maguire) has fallen madly in love with the beautiful Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) who has now become a star on Broadway. Peter is basking in all his glory as the whole of New York City love Spider-man, with parades and giving him the key to the city etc. But Harry Osborn (James Franco) has still got a vendetta's against Peter and Spider-man for the death of his father, with using the green gas that his late father had created to turn himself into the Green Goblin, he himself turns into the new Goblin (but not as creature like) and sets out to kill Peter with his new equipment and super human abilities. If that is not bad enough, escaped convict Flint Marko (Thomas Haden Church) who has now been declared as the real murderer of Peter's uncle Ben (in the first film)is on the loose, Marco intentions is to get the money that could save his daughter from the cancer she has got. Marco stumbles into a particle experiment chamber, where they are experiment on particles using sand, Marco gets caught in this experiment and his DNA structure tangles with the particles of sand, and The Sandman is born. But wait there is even more, a strange small comet crashes in the out skitrts of New York City, where funnily enough Peter Parker is at that précis moment with MJ, out of this comet comes a sybiot (Black living slime)witch later on in the story attachés it self to Peter to create Dark Spider-man and Dark Peter Parker as well. And yes there is even more, Eddie Brock Jr (Topher Grace) is in town and is hoping to become the newest member at the Daily Bugle, this character is a rival to Peter Parker and soon Spider-man. After Peter realises that the Blck suit is changing him after some bad events, he rids himself of the suit, but Eddie unintentionally gets some onto him self and becomes Venom. There is also a new girl in town, Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard) who is also the girl friend to Eddie Brock Jr, she has feelings for Peter Parker as well as Spider-man and this causes problems between MJ and Peter.
This film may sound excellent as i thought it did before i saw the film, but it all most seems like a completely different film, where u don't see hardly anything of Spider-man swinging through the city like in the first two films, but more centred on the relationship with MJ and Peter, also there seems to be stupid one liners and completely perfectic dancing in the street (as Dark Peter Parker). As it says in the adverts "This may be the end of Spider-man", well this film truly is in my opinion the end of Spider-man. I believe it comes down to Director Sam Raimi, who made two very excellent films with the past Spider-man, but with the third instalment he thought he would take a dabble at doing the Screenpaly of the film, and this was where it went wrong, as Raimi should stick with his directing.
I would still suggest seeing the film, but purely because the first two were excellent and you might as well see the third, but be don't have the hopes of seeing another superhero classic.
