REVIEWS FOR SPIDER-MAN 3
Another third installment, another arrested adolescent gone wild
Aug 27, 2009
Sam Raimi and company should have ... made a movie and not an f/x tapas plate.
Apr 23, 2009
You know that the third Spider-Man had to be bigger. The third movie in a franchise goes for broke. And Spider-Man 3 is bigger, if not better. It's overdone, overlong, and overplotted. It's all over the place. This does not mean Spider-Man 3
Feb 2, 2009
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.
Oct 18, 2008
Top CriticIt is like a buffet. You look at the cast and trailers and you just start drooling over all the options. But they just overdid it, stuffing you with filler, and the juicy part of the film didn't start until it was halfway through.
Sep 4, 2008
The third Spider_Man film is a bit like a web that's been hanging in a dusty corner for years: it's so weighted down with sticky bits and pieces of past detritus that it's in danger of being ripped apart by the new prey.
Jul 13, 2008
An everything-plus-the-kitchen-sink production that thrives on its boundless energy and the sheer audacity of its vision.
Apr 10, 2008
Spider-Man 3 is so burdened by the need to outshine its predecessors that it sinks beneath the weight of its own extravagant excesses.
Feb 28, 2008
Different in all the right ways-- a complex, unpredictable attempt at giving its audience a lot to chew on. Pardon those of us who will take a flawed opus over bloated unoriginality.
Jan 26, 2008
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 swiveling and shouting "aaah!" that way.
Nov 16, 2007
Top CriticKids'll be dazzled, but story falls short of #2.
Oct 31, 2007
Another fine installment in this very fun and exciting comic book superhero movie series.
Oct 5, 2007
There were more subplots meringued together than a single film can eat. With a twinge more fluff whipped in, this could have easily been Spider-Man 4, too.
Sep 21, 2007
It ends the trilogy not with a bang but neither with a whimper.
Sep 14, 2007
It's been a fine if bumpy ride with Raimi down this corridor of Marvel Comics history, even if I'd love to see him working on something cheap and scrappily funny again.
Jul 23, 2007
There are one too many teary redemptions, one too many airborne rescues and, finally, one too many climaxes. But we'll forgive Mr. Raimi his excesses.
Jul 14, 2007
This third film is awful, it’s sloppy, and it’s mishandled in every aspect...
Jul 10, 2007
Spider-Man 3 is impressive even in light of the fact that its unwieldy ambition often does more harm than good.
Jul 3, 2007
Sudeci po tome koliko je ovaj Spiderman potrosen, bilo bi bolje da se snimi remake.
