Not Super...Superb!

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2007)

Spider-Man 3 was better than expected, and I'm saying that because the trailers didn't impress me. The beauty of the film lies in its action, with its superb visual effects. Although I didn't feel he was required, Flint Marko's transformation into Sandman is truly mind-blowing. Tobey Maguire is really awesome as the new "changed" Peter Parker and does some really good acting. James Franco's role as Harry Osborne is lovable, and, at the end of the movie, I felt he was the real hero, not Spider-Man. And story-wise, maybe Spider-Man 2 had a better storyline.
Venom was given way too less screen time (4 minutes). Venom deserves an entire movie to himself, he's Spider-Man's toughest enemy! The music is very good, the music that is played in the opening credits are really good. But sometimes the film loses it's pace. J.K. Simmon's role as J.J. Jameson is very comical, specially his first seen, where he is seen "trying" to control his anger. Topher Grace fitted very well in Eddie Brock's role, plus he got some of the best dialogues as well! The film is just superb!
I enjoyed the movie... I'm looking forward to Spidey 4... and I can't wait for the DVD!
