Rating: 7/10 (4 April 2020)

Spider-Man 3 premiere again with Sam Raimi and toward Jirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire in the lead roles. and is definitely a controversial film and controversial, especially for fans of the superhero. It is undeniable quality in some aspects of long, but the expectations generated were so great in so many ways that failures were even more evident and exposed to criticism, making this third installment of the franchise you love weakest of all. With an investment in the tune of $ 280 million outside ad spending, the intention of Raimi as managed to do in the first two thanks to full creative freedom was granted, was present only a villain, at most two, to get back the characters develop well psychologically and not run with the story, keeping the balance between effects and script again. According to the news circulated on the internet, the principle would be the second villain the Vulture, but the producer Avi Arad eventually convinced the director to include another villain to the plot: Venom.
For this sequence we also highlight the loss of Danny Elfman, who immortalized the theme songs for the first two long and that helped create the identity and appropriate tone of the film. Elfman did not return due to creative differences with Raimi. In its place was hired Christopher Young, composer versatile but mainly responsible for the soundtrack of thrillers and horror in general as The Grudge, The Glass House, The Uninvited and The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Luckily we knew we would not need to worry about it, because even with the loss of Elfman for this movie, Young has proven a great composer and his work here differs somewhat from themes by Danny Elfman, although he frequently uses the theme main, as it should be in specific scenes. Since Young made many thrillers and horror, and this film has a more heavy and dark, the combination of the track with what was shown married perfectly, being one of the strengths of the work without objection.
Finally the script disguises the lack of creativity with the use of the trick of presenting new facts concerning the important facts of the past of the protagonist, and in this case were unreasonable and for the sole purpose of increasing ties between villain and a hero of incredible coincidences aforesaid. Another important point is the inclusion of excess humor, which had variations with great sequences as the frustrated attempt to propose marriage at a restaurant just finishing touches with more melancholic, and horrific sequences as Peter dances in the streets of New York. Among the many high points of the film are criticized: In the comics, the end of the saga known as Secret Wars, Spider-Man has brought the planet where the event occurred, a uniform that was able to read the thoughts of the hero turn into any kind clothes, generate their own webs, among other things. It was the controversial black uniform. In the movie, the symbiotic just reaches Earth without explanation, within a meteorite, and that among every place on the planet Earth, and conveniently falls exactly where are Peter and Mary Jane, and to top it sticks to the bike and Peter accompanies.
If Peter was angry, wearing the black uniform, if not, he took the uniform black. Moreover, the powers of the symbiote that appear in comics are not obvious, except that his powers are more leveraged causing a feeling good and invigorating to Peter, which is also more aggressive in some more isolated parts of the film. And worst of all, instead all this aggression, the more Machiavellian see one side and aggressive, we see Peter actually an "emo" with the fringe move forward, having a behavior more confident, dancing and playing piano. Then we still have the displeasure of seeing him at the nightclub where Mary Jane serves the tables and sing to customers. After Mary Jane have broken their relationship following the plan Harry, the boy tries to cause jealousy in the girl being accompanied by her new suitor, Gwen Stacy, the boy starts dancing. And to close with a flourish, he still provokes a fight and ends up attacking free his beloved Mary Jane who no longer recognizes him more for his actions. All this to show that his personality was altered by clothing, making him acting like a callous.
Venom is another victim of coincidences "brilliant" script. Its origin is different journals. Originally being official Globe Gazette, a newspaper rival the Daily Bugle and not the same as shown in the film, that's not the main point about it. In the comics, Eddie Brock Jr (yes, in the movie he has a "Jr" in the name for no reason), is fired from the Daily Globe in a story because Emil Gregg accused of being the Sin Eater, a serial killer who had murdered Captain Jean DeWolff, a friend of the Spider. The report would have been a success if a few days after the spider had not caught the real killer. When the self-pity and hatred for Spider exceeded his limits, he decided he should end his life. In the film, the reason comics could be perfectly used in full and would be more believable.
The Sandman has always been from the beginning the character's favorite Sam Raimi, and receives special care director, which actually makes it more interesting villain of all present. However, in most of the coincidences script, the solution to make it more humane and tried to justify the character's final scenes in the film, eventually making it the killer of Uncle Ben. It is used as a turnaround used by Tim Burton in his Batman (1989) in which the Joker killed Bruce Wayne's parents. This dramatic shift in the history of Spider opens a lot of possibilities. For example, if Peter would prevent the escape of Dennis Carradine (occurred in the first film), the boy still could not prevent the death of his Uncle Ben Parker, as his killer was Flint Marko, entailing changes in the character of friend neighborhood.
Another fact is when Flint Marko is being chased by the police and invades a testing area for particle physics and falls exactly where the experiment will be conducted. The most curious thing is that the transformation could show without much explanation, but trying to give an explanation to the public for a "foreign body" was noticed at the test site, an area totally controlled and seemingly impenetrable, the writers show scientists performing experience and notice a change in mass of the test site and think it is a bird. The weight difference between a bird and a person is huge and the weight of Marko would not be so little to be ignored by scientists, who seemed a bunch of inexperienced trainees to reach such a conclusion.
The New Green Goblin, now taken over by Harry, as in the comics, had a share expected by now so that the previous movie was over. Raimi had to turn Harry into a new Sprite, and actually quit their participation. In his best performance in the series, James Franco seems more interesting psychologically, going deeper into their motivations still fueled by revenge for Spider-Man. We note that the experimental serum left Harry with the same powers of his father, but without the insanity of Norman. The downside is the clothing of the new Green Goblin, which leaves much to be desired compared to the comics and shows that Harry just gave a perfected in instruments that his father had left him.
Peter and Mary Jane have relationship problems and another side of their relationship, as had hitherto romantic and idealized, becomes more real and conflicted when Mary Jane faces problems with his career while Peter is increasingly beloved city. He ends up going blind and not notice that his girlfriend is experiencing problems. And Gwen Stacy just jealous also helps that arise in Mary Jane, even after the kiss that Peter gave to Gwen during the delivery of the keys of the city to him and they reproduce the kiss that immortalized the boy's relationship with Mary Jane. And not least being that MJ jealous of colleague Peter in college, because Gwen is a real temptation disguised as women. Bryce Dallas Howard does very well and Kirsten Dunst dazzles at various times, such naturalness of Bryce on the scene and its stunning beauty. She is the face of the drawings of comic book character and charm is also vented. Unfortunately it is also not as exploited, and only have the function of being in danger in a sequence spetacular crane that struck the building in which she modeled, and adventure jealousy MJ Peter, either in the restaurant, is the club where Peter "Dark" dancing on the tables, or the ceremony of the keys to the city.
Scenes such as the transformation of Sandman which uses a technology that could control every grain of sand separately and allowed fantastic scenes as the first fight with Spider-Man in the Sand truck and the final scenes of the confrontation. By far, the visual effects are the best of the trilogy, with movements Arachnid much more smooth and uniform, like Venom, beyond its visual. All aerial scenes are indeed exciting. The darker scenes used by cinematographer Bill Pope and art directors J. Michael Riva and Neil Spisak clearly show this darker side caused by the arrival of the Venom symbiote and consequently.
Unlike the other films, brighter and more colorful, with scenes taking place day and night, the look more night here and heavier tone and portray the conflicts that part of the trilogy. Raimi could make a big blockbuster in great action sequences at the level of the great Marvel hero, but lost in the story, which despite not being even a little complicated, has many elements and incredible 2h20min seemed little to so many elements and parallel events. The film has a different tone from the others and does not seem to be part of the same universe of the above. also features no scenes flagship anthology and that are stored in memory for a long time. Good fun, though inferior to the others.
