SPIDER-MAN 3 * (Theatrical Release USA 2007)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.4|5.0 Starsììì

Spider-Man 3 tries so hard with all the Spider villains ringing their bells and tooting their whistles. This film needs a stronger actor to play the part of Spider Man, perhaps an Adam Driver. Thomas Haden Church as the Sandman needs more realism. The film misses the mark for good entertainment. This is Tobey Maguire’s last Spiderman role. The 2012 The Amazing Spiderman casts Andrew Garfield in that role. Watch for the cameo of Stan Lee in the Times Square scene and Willem Dafoe sitting at a background table while Tobey Mcguire and Bryce Dallas Howard are talking in the foreground during the night club scene.
