Just got back from one of the first mass release screenings in the UK (I actually booked the day off of work - how sad is that?).
First, I have to agree with a lot of what people are saying which is that there is a lot packed into this film, but in my opinion, it is all the better for it. I can't remember the last time I was so enthralled by a film and for nearly 3 hours and 45 Mons, that isn't bad going.
I thought the first two were great but this Spider-man 3 has it all; action, character, drama, romance, humour and a lot of violence. Just the way I like my comic book movies.
Sam Raimi did a great job but I really do hope that this is the last so that the team and the franchise can finish on a high. I don't think they have anywhere else to go in terms of quality, other than down. (definitely if Sam will no longer be directing and the cast is different - Tobey Maguire will be in his late 30's, and still at high school?!) I'm going to go and see it again as soon as I get a chance. I recommend you go see it. Especially if they do a fourth, and even more especially if they give the directors job to that idiot Mark Steven Johnson.
