Spider Man 3 (2007) Movie Review

Hello guys and welcome back for another round of movie reviews with Movie Nerd, a place where you can be nerdy about movies and that's OK with it!

So, we continue our journey into the past adventures of our favorite wall crawler with the final entry in the Sam Raimi trilogy.

A bit of a synopsis for you, in case some of you are not familiar with the story: a strange black entity from another world bonds with Peter Parker and causes inner turmoil as he contends with new villains, temptations, and revenge.

So, this is the one that ended the Sam Raimi/ Tobey Maguire Spider-Man saga. That's what you get when the studio meddles with your movie. Too many plotlines that make the movie not interesting but confusing, too many characters plus a couple of new ones making the movie a bit crowded and stuffed, too many villains that were unnecessary plus the transformation of Parker into emo Parker. And that dance man! Who the hell thought that was a good idea to put in the movie?! The whole scene is just awful and inappropriate.

Nonetheless, there are a few things that you can still enjoy with this movie. The action is still great, the soundtrack is very good, with Christopher Young taking Danny Elfman's place and he did a really good job, the effects are mostly improved plus that scene with Sandman's transformation is excellent. A whole range of emotions just thru image and gestures. Visually stunning scene.

Coming back to the villains, Sandman was enough. And maybe a little Green Goblin, which they totally mess up the costume once again, switching from Power Ranger to flying hover-board man. Venom was a disappointment, sadly. He was forced into the movie by Sony and it did not work at all. Plus, they cast Topher Grace for the role. Big mistake. He is a good actor but this was a miscast. Tom Hardy, however, is perfect for the role in the upcoming "Venom" movie. And the part with the symbiote bonding with Peter was poorly handled. Instead of becoming a gritty and dark character, because the symbiote brings out the worst in people, he became a freaking douchebag.

It's not a bad movie as a whole but it is the worst in the series. And it's a shame because I would have wanted to see how Sam Raimi will continue the story. 6.5/10

OK guys, that was my review for this one. Next up, the reboot that offered us a ray of hope but then crushed it with it's second movie. Yes, The Amazing Spider Man duology or twology. Some new words that I have just invented. Until then, take care, stay movie nerdy and keep on reviewing!
