Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Directed by Sam Raimi this film once again stars Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco. Peter Parker is finally getting some good press as Spider-Man but Mary Jane's career is not going so well and as always there are bad guys that need thwarting.

I prefer this to the first sequel in the series as it actually gets to grips with the story elements left over from the first film rather than not moving forward the conflict between Peter and Harry. Bringing in Venom works well as a metaphor for either alcohol or drugs but is not a theme that is really explored fully. Again there are some moments that stray into Richard Lester Superman territory but otherwise this is a well made film and it is a bit of a shame this is where the series ended.

4/5
