Spider-Man 3 DVD Review

Calling all superhero fanatics! Get out there and grab your copy of Spider-Man 3 on DVD today.

Spider-Man 3, based on the legendary Marvel Comic book series, is the third, and presumably final action packed movie in the comic book trilogy.

Director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man 1 and 2) has upped the ante in nearly every aspect of his latest superhero chartbuster.
The intense new film includes plenty of new twists, intense fight sequences, the next-generation of unbelievable computer-generated special effects, and several implausible villains.

If that’s not enough to satisfy you, a new romantic interest, a love triangle, impeccable comic relief, and a couple of musical performances (including a dancing and singing Spider-Man) added in should make any movie viewer content.

Peter Parker has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. and his duties as a superhero.

We find Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) and Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) right where we last left them, ecstatically in love-but afraid to make the big commitment.

The citizens of New York have finally come to appreciate the heroic deeds of Spider-Man.

MJ has finally landed her big role on Broadway, as Parker manages dual jobs as both a superhero and a bottom of the pack reporter for the Daily Bugle.

The seemingly perfect love story comes to an abrupt end when Parker finds out that his uncle’s murderer, Fint Marko (Thomas Haden Church), has escaped from prison.

With vengeance on his mind Parker makes Marko his new archenemy.

Marko becomes the indestructible villain Sandman after he’s exposed to a demollecularization sand pit during a scientific experiment gone horribly wrong.

To add injury to insult, Parker’s best friend turned adversary Harry Osborn (James Franco) seeks revenge for his father’s death by trying several times to savagely end Spider-Man’s life.

Parker bonds with an unusual black symbiote that unleashes a darker side of him and threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.

Parker isolates himself from everything he holds dear as revenge viciously takes over him.

Spider-Man must deal not only with villains and love but also with himself.

Once again the fate of New York City falls on the shoulders of Spidey to save the day.

A Very good superhero movie well deserving of a 3 out of 4 star rating, and well worth the time of geeks and nerds alike.
Spider-Man 3 is rated PG-13 for intense action sequences. The movie runs for 140 minutes and includes a 2-Disc DVD filled with extras: Audio commentary, outtakes, a music video, a half-dozen featurettes and more.
