Synopsis

Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man™ 3 reunites the cast and filmmakers from the first two blockbuster adventures for a web of secrets, vengeance, love, and forgiveness that will transport worldwide audiences to thrilling new heights on May 4, 2007. In Spider-Man™ 3, based on the legendary Marvel Comics series, Peter Parker has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. and his duties as a superhero. But there is a storm brewing on the horizon. When his suit suddenly changes, turning jet-black and enhancing his powers, it transforms Peter as well, bringing out the dark, vengeful side of his personality that he is struggling to control. Under the influence of the suit, Peter becomes overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care about him most. Forced to choose between the seductive power of the new suit and the compassionate hero he used to be, Peter must overcome his personal demons as two of the most-feared villains yet, Sandman and Venom, gather unparalleled power and a thirst for retribution to threaten Peter and everyone he loves. © 2007 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.

Bob Mondello

At 141 minutes, this supe-opera is seriously overextended, with four distinct subplots and way too much hand-wringing over things like the heroine's singing career.

Roger Ebert

Too many villains, too many pale plot strands, too many romantic misunderstandings, too many conversations, too many street crowds looking high into the air and shouting "oooh!" this way, then...

Joshua Rothkopf

Nap time. Perhaps it's the weight of expectations, the rattle of a zillion calculators or the curse of Bryce Dallas Howard (forever our Lady in the Water), but the latest Spider-Man is a fussy,...

Joe Williams

Notwithstanding a cute scene in which Peter enlists suave maitre d' Bruce Campbell to help him propose to Mary Jane, director Sam Raimi's juggling of the comedy and the action is unusually...

Stephanie Zacharek

Raimi at least manages to make it both huge and human.

Joe Morgenstern

After two epic successes that deserved their success, the latest installment swings between intense action sequences and unaccountably flat dramatic interludes.

Francisco Gutierrez June 20, 2014

Bad superhero flick While it has a few good fight scene's,&the effects are still pretty good,SPIDER-MAN 3 is a poor sequel to two great comic book movies.

Nathen Pura May 4, 2014

This is the shiznit!!! This movie blew me away personally. I loved it. Whoever downed on Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Sam Raimi y'all really aren't true Spidey fans at all. There was nothing else to compare these Spider-Man movies to at the time except for the original Comic and C'mon people do any Hollywood adaptations these days follow exactly how the original story goes??? NOPE!! So these were and ARE STILL AMAZING portrayals of The Spider-Man!!! :))))

Dylan Andrade June 12, 2014

I liked it. Not as good as Spider-Man 1 and 2 but it's still a worthy Spider-Man film.

Marky Garcia August 23, 2014

Good Its not the best Spider-Man flick out there,but its better than The Dark Knight.

Hobie Hogan May 7, 2014

Anyone who doesn't love this movie is CRAZY! Without flaw. A ridiculously triumphant return to the Spiderman movies, clinch the material of the edge of your seat, prepare to breathe heavily, this is Spiderman's installment... #3.
