Spider-Man explodes off the screen for the third time with sold out showings. The Spider-Man movies, based on the Marvel Comic series, have yet to let the people down.
In this addition, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) has finally got his division of time spent between Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) and his responsibilities as the super hero Spider-Man down to a science and is enjoying his life.
He can spend time with MJ, and still manage to save the city from its almost constant brushes with disaster.
But there is a new problem that he learns to face as he comes in contact with a black substance that attaches itself to his suit and begins to take over him entirely.
Along with his internal dilemmas at present, there is also the threat of Sandman played by Thomas Haden Church, who later has been found to be true murderer of Peter’s uncle Ben in the first film.
Sandman teams up later in the film with Eddie Brock (Topher Grace), an aspiring photographer for the Daily Bugle, who later becomes Venom after Peter rids himself of the black substance.
Meanwhile, after a quick fight that leaves the new goblin Harry Osborn (James Franco), Peter has to make up with an old embittered friend.
All ends with Spider-Man, of course, beating all the bad guys, rescuing the damsel in distress, tying up all the loose ends, and, just as we all could have assumed, gets the girl.
The movie satisfies on all playing fields, the drama unfolds between characters; there are a few quick laughs to give you a breath between the intense action sequences, all rounding out for another great addition to the Spider-Man Marvel Comic series.
This movie is a “must-see” family film and is good for all ages. If you do not care for the Spider-Man movies, then, at an almost two hours and thirty minutes, it is sure to kill some time; good luck trying to sleep through it, though.
