Review of Spider-Man 3

Spider-Man 3 (2007)
8/10
What was going to be a outstanding trilogy accomplishment. Let down due to wasted scenes.
2 June 2009
Spider-man and Spider-man 2 impressed the world with it's slick action, cool effects and it's great adaptation to a legendary comic series. Finally a 3rd instalment is released to complete it's trilogy. It did just that, a decent 3rd sequel, but instead of making it decent, it could have been made brilliantly if some scenes were done with more thought put into it. But still spider-man 3 offers many new features in the series and improved in little but many ways.

To start off with something more positive of the movie is always better. You could say that spider man 3 is a little different from the other 2, but not necessarily in a bad way. The fight scenes were better and panned out, simply flawless, best thing about the movie for sure. There was plenty of them too, it's cool to see them mixed too (not always "spider man" vs the villain) so yes they were different in many ways. Camera angles were better, punches, kicks, flips and "super strength" were exploited better in that case. The plot outclassed the one's from the previous instalments, i'm sure you all seen the trailers or clips, so without ruining it for you. The idea of a "black suited spider-man (evil) has everyone exploding of what's going to happen in the movie. So yes, definitely the plot was good thanks to new and old villains involved. Even the acting was brilliant, Tobey Maguire is impressive again and does well. Kirsten Dunst and James Franco were good too.

Now saying all that, your probably thinking. If the movie offers all that, what could possibly be wrong with it. And i could answer you right now. Wastefull scenes. I can't really explain without adding spoilers so i will keep it minimum. The director (Sam Raimi) just completely went wrong with many scenes, (despite the fact most amazing scenes) plenty of film time was really wasted on nonsense. Instead of the movie being full of intense action it started dragging onto some boring drama or romance scenes, which were never necessary. The movie got dragging and the long duration of the movie was because of wasteful scenes like that, the director maybe just took to much film time on things that really didn't matter and left out on some things that could be more important. Also the way that the "villians" got introduced in the movie were too disappointing, they were rushed in the film in strange ways and too quick, like i said because to much film time was wasted. And that's the reason the film's success was cut down.

Even though the film shows a lot on negativity, it's still a good instalment to the series and quite fun to watch, different and sometimes cool. A definite one for spider man lovers. But if more thought was put into it it could have been a outstanding trilogy, but unfortunately it wasn't. But still a good flick.
