Spider-man 3 *spoiler alert*

Two Villans and two heroes?

Spiderman 3 was the second movie I have seen so far this Spring/Summer (Hot Fuzz being the first), and if it is any indication this is going to be a great summer for movies. The story picks up what seems to be maybe a few months up to a year after the end of the second movie. Mary Jane is still on Broadway. Spider-man has cleaned up NY and everyone besides Jamison loves him. All good things must come to an end and things start to go bad at least for Mary Jane. This is the begining of the tail spin that her and Peter, and even Eddie Brock Jr go through. As in the first two movies the special effects are spectacular. The new additions for this movie, Thomas Haden Church (Sandman,Flint Marko, Topher Grace(Venom, Eddie Brock Jr/Venom) and Bryce Dallas Howard (Gwen Stacey) fit in perfect in each of their roles. Now I know the character of Gwen Stacey in the comic books was more developed and has more to her then what was shown in the movie, but I feel they got what they needed out of her, leaving her character open to become more developed and more a part of the story in future movies. The movie flows really well. It has its ups and downs in the begining. One minute a huge action sequence, next an emotional scene with MJ or Aunt May. The comedy was definetly there as well, especially in the scene with Bruce Campbell. Stan Lee also makes an appearence and if you say you didn't see him, stop reading this blog.

Overall the movie the movie is worth the $5-$10 you spend on it. The story is good, the effects are great and just the final fight scene is worth at least half your admission. So go see Spider-man and get the season started off right.
