Spiderman 3: 2 paws up

Oh man did I love it!

Please be aware that this might contain spoilers.

I think I enjoyed the 3rd Spiderman movie better than the previous 2. The characters were finally blown out to their full potential, except for maybe Mary Jane's. Peter Parker gets to be a little nasty, a lot mean and somewhat hateful after he gets the black suit. There was an element of humor still with Tobey trying to act like the big bad wolf. He just doesn't look the part.

On the other, Harry Osburn actually becomes a likeable character by the end of the movie. I also liked that this movie flushed out Peter and Harry's friendship, showed the downs and then the up towards the end, here Harry realises his father was wrong and decides to help Peter save MJ. I think killing him at the end was an unwanted meloncholy.

The Sandman, played byThomas Haden Church, was another villain that you could not completely hate. Especially after you find out he loves his little daughter who's dying and everythign he's done, he's done it for her. It doesn't condone his actions but it still brings a tear to your eye, especially at the end when he just flies away in a gentle swirl of sand.

Topher Grace, in my humble opinion, did an entirely too good job of being the true villain, Venom. You could feel the anger and hatred emanating from him as you watched him on screen. Gone was the sweet natured kid from That 70's Show. In his place, was a nasty, cheating man who you just couldn't find any reason to like.

Overall, a definite must-see movie of this summer.
