Spider-Man 3 (2007, Dir. Sam Raimi)
Life finally feels good for Peter Parker. He has managed to balance life as both Spider-Man and as Mary Jane's boyfriend. He is even planning on proposing to MJ. But life isn't always going to be easy for the webbed hero. Harry Osborn still hasn't forgiven Peter for the death of his father. He has developed the perfect technology and crowns himself the 'New Goblin'. Harry isn't the only problem. It is revealed that an escaped convict, Flint Marko is the real killer of Peter's uncle. After an accident, he is now the invincible 'Sandman', who has teamed up with Venom to target the superhero, who is struggling to handle his life.
'Spider-Man' was introduced in 2002 and was an instant success. 'Spider-Man 2' was released two years later and was even better. The third movie of the series isn't as great as the second film, but is still a great film to watch. The main problem is does has is the amount of story they are trying to give. It's great with so many new and interesting characters, but there is just a lot to fit into a 2 hour film. The great special effects are back, with amazing shots of Sandman and Venom. Thomas Hayden Church and Topher Grace are amazing as villains. There are some fun highlights during the story, but also some cringe worthy moments, such as an emo style Peter Parker dancing through the film. Still it is a great part of a great trilogy (so far). If you've never seen this superhero in action, you really need to watch this trilogy, even if your not a comic book fan.
