The weakest of the Tobey McGuire Spider-Man films

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2020)

Spider-Man 3 is said (and is) to be the worst of the Spider-Man films. Though I heard 1977 theatrical pilot was bad, but you know what I mean. But saying this is the worst Spider-Man film is not saying a whole lot. Because, it still manages to be a good film. Spider-Man 2 is one of my favorite superhero films and it is obvious that no sequel could top it. The film follows Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man) as his suit turns black which brings out the dark side of Spider-Man and essentially Peter. Peter tries to combat the evil at the same time as Sandman and Venom are wanting to destroy Spider-Man. For me, I like the idea of seeing a character that is all about being good, suddenly go dark. It is different and a creative idea. Even if certain scenes (like Peter becoming emo) is a little bit cringy. The fact that there are two villains can be a bit much to take in but nonetheless the fight scenes are pretty fun. With that being said, Spider-Man 3 is an overall harmless film that people just seem to hate. Understandable, but there is more good to be said than bad.
