Throughly great, but not excellent

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 2008)

I thought Spider-Man 3 was going to be the best of the three, and yes it was, it was great, but not excellent. I felt that their were too many characters, which makes the movie confusing and let's say, I was a bit confused.
Peter Parker, a young college student, has a special secret, as we all know he's obviously Spider-Man. New villains come to town such as, "The Sand Man" and "The Venom", and Peter a.k.a Spider-Man has to save the world from villains, even stronger than you have ever imagined and try to go through the stress he is facing especially with his true love (Mary-Jane Watson).
The performances by the cast, scored hundreds of points for the movie, they were all realistic and phenomenal, especially by Tobey Maguire (Peter Parker a.k.a Spidey) and Kirsten Dunst (M.J Watson).
The plot, like I said, had too much dialogue and too much characters. Which is very confusing for the audience, especially if they're not familiar with Spider-Man, so to make it better, throw all the unnecessary chunks of the movie out and shorten it a little and try to have it with no more than 10 characters.
The special effects were out-of-this-world! It definitely saved the movie from being a disaster and I believe, next to the performances, the special effects were the best thing about this movie, so well done.
The costumes, settings etc. were great too, the idea of making the setting be in different parts of Modern Day New York was clever, because it builds an effect that not all Superhero movies should be in some fancy place like "Translvaynia" and that the movie stars Spider-Man living two different lives in a normal American city. The costumes were a positive point to the movie as well, the new black suit for Spider-Man was fantastic, it really fits in with the new Peter, and all the other costumes for the rest of the cast were all splendid, they don't wear fancy clothes,(only their in some sort of play or date or even fighting against villains) they just wear clothes that any else would wear.
To bring it to a conclusion, a throughly enjoyable movie, with great performances, special effects etc. but what needs improving is the plot, which is too much for the audience and it sometimes gets boring and pretty confusing, but other than that it was an absolute joy to watch, I can't wait for the fourth movie, I'm sure it will be as well as this!
8/10
