Spider-Man 3

State of Being : Webby

Reprising his role for the third time as the web spinning superhero, Spider-Man 3 sees Toby Maguire as Peter Parker / Spider-Man battling several enemies - and an enemy within - in a psychological conflict as he grows arrogant with the city starting to embrace him for the first time in his career.

With the introduction of three villains, the movie is mostly character-driven, plotting along the straining relationship of Mary Jane and Peter Parker / Spider-Man, the internal struggle of Spider-Man with his all-black new persona, Harry Osborn / New Globin's grapple with the death of his father, the somewhat sympathetic Flint Marko / Sandman, and the jealousy turned hatred new photographer rival - Eddie Brock, Jr. / Venom.

On the whole, Spider-Man 3 scores again with an intensified, if less action-packed, step up while at the same time, touching on universal themes of love (Parker & Mary Jane), family (Flint Marko & Daughter; Parker & Uncle Ben) and friendship (Parker & Harry).

Final verdict:
Plot - **** I Special Effects - **** I Substance - *** 1/2
