We've been trying to do a home movie night on Friday nights over the last couple of weeks so we can re-watch the movies we have on DVD. One of them was Spiderman 3 from 2007, starring Tobey Maguire. I thought Tobey made a good Spiderman (as well as Andrew Garfield in the second series. Not sold on the new actor yet, though). Here's our quick review:
The story was good, but when the alien symbiote (basically a parasite that needs a host) lands and takes over Peter Parker (aka: Spiderman) it makes him into a very dark and pretty awful person - which screws up his personal life. Once he shook it off, it found another host who became the killer alien version of Spiderman called "Venom." The best part of the movie was the Sandman villain, and the special effects on him were pretty great.
The special effects fights between Spiderman and Venom as well as the Green Goblin (in the beginning) seemed like overkill and was a LOT of CGI. We also thought the end was pretty weepy (and I'm the sensitive one)... It was a good movie- a grade B. Read on for the film summary.
ABOUT THE MOVIE: Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) and M.J. (Kirsten Dunst) seem to finally be on the right track in their complicated relationship, but trouble looms for the superhero and his lover. Peter's Spider-Man suit turns black and takes control of him, not only giving Peter enhanced power but also bringing out the dark side of his personality. Peter must overcome the suit's influence as two supervillains, Sandman and Venom, rise up to destroy him and all those he holds dear.
