Better than 2, not as good as 1.

Rating: 6/10 (10 June 2007)

With wifey away, decided to go and catch a flick. Wasn't heaps out, so settled on Spiderman 3, a movie I figured would be best viewed at the movies.
Spiderman 3 picks up with MJ(Dunst) and Peter/Spiderman(Maguire) in love and all things are going great. Things get much better when early on Harry faces of with Spiderman and comes off second best, badly hitting his head which causes memory loss and for him to forget that Pete is Spiderman. Just when it seems life is perfect things take a nosedive. MJ's career is dealt a massive blow when she's dropped from her just released theatre show, a new photographer comes onto the scene at the Globe and a new enemy rises, Sandman. Soon Pete is going through a series of crisis's and things go worse when he is somehow dealt a black spidey suit, which takes over and makes him feel indestructible and overconfident.I won't go into much more detail, but Spiderman faces his biggest challenges ever in all facets of his life.
The movie is OK, but things happen a little too conveniently, even for a superhero movie. The action is just too overdone and actually gets dizzying at times. Tends to drag at times as well. A great performance by Maguire, who carries the movie, with little support from Dunst who just has to portray two emotions- despair and sadness.
