This movie is great and all but it got boring and the whole point of the movie was about payback at least the villians are good ones but as the first one and second one some parts of the movie is really boring.

Well, I never really watch spider man movies, but I thought that it was really good! The special effects were so amazing that it looked real! Like I said, at first I didn't want to see this movie, but then I saw it and loved it!

I'm not sure if this is the best Spiderman or not, but I thought it was really well done, the acting was pretty good, the action was awesome, it's sad at some parts. But some parts didn't exactly make sense and some stuff was corny which kind of seperated it from the first two movies. I mean the first two movies did have corny stuff but this third one was just a little too cheesy for grown people to be saying. Anyway, it was really well done. Rating: Very good.

Not the best of the three but still a good conclusinon.This film had amazing action sequences and good acting but felt a bit too much at times.One thing i hated was venom being played by topher grace.I wish they had gotten someone else.The film really didnt need sandman and could of been replace with carnage.The film even withits problems is still a great film and if you like the previous two then you can find some enjoyment fromthis.

It blows. Villains that deserved movies of themselves feel like cameo appearances, and Topher Grace as Venom? It's quirky, yes, and ultimately a neat film, but it's like cold pancakes with warm water - it would have been a good movie if it had been done right. And it's not, it's so far from right you'll end up hating the writer and director.

The worst of the three, but not as bad as people will make it out to be. It still remains a fun romp of action with a superhero, but it doesn't have as much focus as it should. If the production company hadn't forced Raimi to put in Venom it would have been better as Venom would have been around for another film, and it wouldn't have been as rushed with the bad guys. I think the Sandman and GG2 both would have made solid bad guys who were good enough to carry the film between them.

  With nifty new villains, a revived Green Goblin, plus $300 million worth of aerial special effects, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 is definitely good to go.

  This is a wonderfully imagined, heartfelt piece of pop entertainment that soars not only for its spectacular eye candy, but also during the moments when its protagonists simply stand still and talk to each other. How many comic-book movies can you say that about?

  Where can mass-moviegoers find release for their tenderer feelings? Only at dozens of inspirational sports movies, where guys (on screen and in the audience) get to cry and cheer and win. And, this weekend, at Spider-Man 3.

  The wow factor works overtime with state-of-the-art effects sequences that often are as beautiful as they are astonishing.

  The juiciest battle here is Spidey vs. Spidey, or, if you prefer, superego vs. id. When Peter starts to go seriously bad, the movie becomes seriously fun.

  Overly long and complicated, it's packed with crowd-pleasing moments and satisfactorily wraps up the trilogy - without quite capturing the magic of the first two installments.

  Solidly entertaining and possesses dazzling special effects, but it falls short of the near-perfection of the Spidey sequel.

  Raimi, who shares script credit with his brother Ivan and Alvin Sargent, strikes an exquisite balance between pop and woe, drama and whooshing adventure.

  Raimi and company deftly balance spectacle and character-based drama, occasionally tweaking the comic-book mythology but always respecting creator Stan Lee's idea that costumed crime-fighter Peter Parker's life as Spider-Man isn't all derring-do and public accolades.

  There are plenty of pleasures here: The slow birth of the Sandman from a heap of supercharged sand crystals (or something) is a marvel of digital animation, and the chemistry between Dunst and Maguire feels like the dynamic of a real couple, full of subtle shifts and eloquent silences.

  What saves Spider-Man 3 from becoming well, "Superman III," is the fact that it's still a solid film that packs a punch when it comes to turn on the spectacle.

  So Spider-Man 3's action is superb and its theme fairly weighty. Then why does it feel a letdown from its predecessor? Nearly all the blame rests with director Sam Raimi, who's taken the success of some light slapstick moments in Spider-Man 2 as a cue to get even sillier.
