First I have to say, that it took us 6 months to actually see this movie, although we tried two times to see this in the theaters to no avail! Both times we went to the theater, the movie had already left (both first run and dollar movies). Grrrr.... But, alas, we saw it this weekend. Here's my review:
Spiderman III - Rated PG13
Starring: Tobey Macguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church
Story line: The third in the Spiderman series, this film picks up with Spiderman 2 leaves off. Mary Jane knows that Peter Parker is Spidey, but so does his friend/nemesis Harry. Harry thinks that Peter killed his father and plots revenge off and on during most of the movie. Peter suffers from a puffed-up ego from all his Spiderman accolades and fails to give his girlfriend, MJ, enough time or attention. Peter and MJ go through spats and make ups all while Spiderman faces 4 bad guys - Yes, I said 4! Good always wins, but I won't spoil the details for you.
Becky's rating: A-
This seemed like the longest of all the movies, probably because of all the loose ends to tie together and the fact that they felt they needed 4 villains! In the previous two movies, Spidey has only faced 1 villain in each of the films, so having 4 to contend with took serious time. I feel that even though I enjoyed the storyline, the filmmakers were trying to pack in too much story in a short amount of time. They would have done better to remove at least 1 villain since they really didn't have time to develop any of them except one, that has been building up for all three movies. I also thought they needed to take out the cheesy song montage with Peter Parker dancing in and out of clothing stores and the stupid part where he embarrasses MJ at the jazz club. Those two parts left me scratching my head, saying, "WHY?" But, all in all, the film completed the story line that started back in 2002. All's well that ends well....
Bottom line: Go see it - But see #1 and #2 first because otherwise you'll be completely lost.
