Spidey comes back but is he better?

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2007)

Spiderman 3 returns with Toby McGuire as Peter Parker alias spider man but it has a new twist, his suit turns black because... see the movie for that and you will know!
It also as Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane, who is Peter's girlfriend and three new villains, Thomas Haden Church as Sandman, James Frasco as the new green goblin and Topher Grace as venom. It also has Peter Parker's aunt.
In this movie, more of romance is shown than the previous parts. It concentrates more on Peter-Mary Jane relationship. And the director, Sam Raimi has made a mistake in showing this.
In the first part, almost 3/4th of the movie focuses on their relationship which sags the story a bit. Instead of this, Sam could have balanced the whole story, which he didn't do.
Sam could have shown a scene between them and then a fight for sometime then another romantic scene after a while so that the audience didn't get bugged.
Instead of this, he focused mainly on their relationship. This made the film feel as if it were very long. So, I feel that next time, the film should be balanced.
Also, in the end of the film, Spiderman doesn't fight mostly against the villains. It is the new green goblin who does the main job of fighting the villains. Sam could have shown both of them defeating the villains in an equal way.
Toby acted well, but looked clumsy in the emotional scene where he had to cry. Kirsten really dulled the atmosphere as she looked a bit haggard looking. James kept smiling and that bored me. Thomas did a really nice job while Topher acted okay as his acting seemed a bit artificial.
Rosemary Harris, who portrayed the role of Toby's aunt in the film did an excellent job. I liked her acting as it looked natural.
I really loved Toby as the bad spider man. He looked good in that hair style and his mean acting was truly.... mean. He did a better job in this evil role and acted much better than the goody boy he is always shown as.
Overall, it is a nice film but I felt that they still could have done better. Spiderman 2 was much better than this part. Yet, it deserves a 7 out of ten.
