Saw it today, most people are saying sh!thouse. Don't know why, if you didn't like the first 2 you won't like this so why the feck see it anyway.

People who love the superhero movies (Batman, Superman, X-Men) etc will enjoy it. Kind've drags a bit but what do you expect when there are 3 supervillains.

Brycey, it's rubbish, and I was a fan of both 1 and 2. Two and a half hours is way too long for a comic book movie, the business with Mary Jane borders on melodrama, and the villains are boring, especially compared to the first two. The humour of the first two is also lacking, the scenes featuring the newly brash confident 'bad' Peter are failed, almost cringe-worthy, attempts to make up for it.

Part of Spiderman 3 were the most cringe worthy efforts in the history of cinema.

The action was good, it was cool to see Spidey "go bad", Venom was unassailaby (sp) cool despite minimal screen time and that scene with Bruce Campbell as the maitre 'd had me in stitches.

It was just that "Staying Alive" kinda, bee gees esque sequence where he's strutting.... that was terrible.

People in the cinema laughed when he knocked Kirsten Dunst over in the club and at the end of the movie when hes crying. And that whole bit where he does his fringe.... that was....oh man....so emo!

I think the new one with heath Ledger as the joker will better the first Bale venture bt I've ALWAYS loved the Keaton/Burton version of 89. Always have, always will.

Oh, and Maggie Gylenhall is replacing Katie Holmes in the new one. I'm happy with that!

And aaron Eckhardt is Two Face I think i read somewhere.....

I thought the first two were OK. But will wait for the DVD on this one as i did with the last two. Quite watchable though not a big screen 'must' as far as i am concerned.

i definately reckon its a big screen movie, the action in it is awesome.
i loved the movie, altho do agree with critics that its got a bit too much going on and felt a bit overcrowded, and therefore there was not enough time spent on developing the story as there was too many different things that they tried to fit in.
but its stil a flipping awesome movie. funny, good action.
disappointed with venom screen time tho

Anyone else think graphically it looks cartoony? just proves that there is still a long way to go with CGI.

Boring as batsh!t. Didnt mind the ohers, but this one was terrible. Way too long, i was jut sitting there waiting for it to end. Not enough character development, lame love story, action was to CG for me as well. Oh well, better luck next time, although i kinda hope they don't bother.

I loved the first two (number one moreso), but I wasn't as impressed with number three. I enjoyed it, I'll get it when it comes out on dvd later this year, but I just felt it was a) too long, b) too many baddies crammed in (it felt as though they expect this one to be the last Spiderman movie and they tried to fit in as many enemies that people really wanted to see), & c) it was more like a soapie in that the story was mostly on Peter Parker's homelife, relationships, ect, and not on Spiderman ... who is afterall the title character!

Like I said, I still enjoyed it though!

Twice this week I've witnessed two entertainment shows billed as events of the millenium.
First Floyd Mayweather Jr versus Oscar De La Hoya and secondly Spiderman 3.
Both, I thought, were over the top and absolute fizzers!
But has this what it has come down too? Is a movies success going to by measured by how well it does finacially in its first week of opening?
Yes, Spiderman 3 was the most expensive movie ever made and yes it raked back most money ever on its opening day but is this to say it was a good movie?
The woman in front of me remarked when the end credits started to roll, "is that it?"
Movie producers are misleading themselves if they think their computer generated graphics are dazzling us in the theatre, believe me they're not!
They can pat themselves on the back and reward each other with big grin eating goofy smiles thinking they've made a hit, but to the average Joe it's still fake and doesn't even look real!
What's sadder though, is that real actors and acting are slowly fading out of todays plots to make way for all this hightech robotic nonsense.
Kind of like the way De La Hoya fought the other day. And speaking of that fight....did it really need all those A-list celebrity parasites ringside to make that fight valid?
One hundred years from now people will be smirking about Spiderman 3's then computer generated images blasting the screne.
What trash!

I saw Spiderman 3 yesterday and I used a free complimentary ticket The Leader gave me, saving me $13. I'm glad I didn't pay to see this.
It's over the top nonsense.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the 2 main characters get married at the end of part 2 which was rather tacky and pathetic?

The only good part in Spiderman 3 was when Sandman falls into that military hole (running from the cops) and the swirling sticks make him Sandman because my seat in the cinema was absolutely rummbling I thought I was sitting in a 747.

I'm waiting to see Zodiac.

Oh and the movie was ruined by 3 asshole schoolkids who stole their way into the cinema and talked out loud the first quarter of the movie and started throwing things as well only to be kicked out later.

Doesn't it make you mad when kids feel the need to express their day just as the movie starts? Why do people get all tuff in a cinema? Gee I hate that.

P.S. I hope I enjoy Pirates 3 more than part 2 as I messed myself in part 2 as it went too long.
I had an accident.

P.P.S. oh, mark my words....Spiderman 4 will be made. They've left it right open for women to take over for the next one. The Blonde at the funeral at the end will avenge the boyfriend and make Peter/Spiderman suffer for embarrassing her in front of thing-O at the night club.
What will she be? The woman version of The Silver Surfer? And maybe even Dunst will become some avenging asshole parading around N.Y. lusting after Sandman.

I agree with the poster who used the word "Crammed" in his post...
It was an ok film i loved the first two much more than the 3rd and i felt the same as most to long, to much love story and whats with the whole patriotism thing with the american flag behind spiderman just once some american will make a film and not glorify America in it.....was expecting more cool acrobatic moves from spidey but just didnt happen ....:(

Apparently three more Spidey movies have been given the green light. Whether they continue with Spiderman or branch out with more Venom remains to be seen but FMD, studios milk these franchises to death. Haven't seen #3 yet but i haven't heard too many good comments about it.
