Sticky...Stickier...Stickiest! Spider-man 3! Finally, a movie that sticks moviegoers to the theaters, now SpiderMaguire will once again makes your eyes stick to the big screen. Now this mild-mannered hero of ours, what is he has gotten into?

But first of all, it's mandatory to congratulate the Special Effects or CGI team, for this film would really lose its touch of amazement without them. Most fascinating of all…the Sandman’s transformation. Kudos!

Peter Parker is now admitted by the people of New York as their sole and trustful hero. Peter (Tobey Maguire) as a normal young man and also finds him hard to socialize sees this as a dream more than he would have expected. Peter or Spider-man has everything that every superhero ought to have, a caring girlfriend, acknowledgment of his good deeds by the people, and his improving career at the daily bulge. In the contrary to Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) whose career is not that bright.

On one clear night where Peter and MJ are spending their night watching the stars, a meteorite crashes near them and unbeknownst to Peter, a black parasitic creature creeps silently towards Peter's moped and follows him home. Later Peter is confronting a bank robber who would later be identified as Flint Marko (Thomas Haden) or Sandman who is actually the man who killed Peter's Uncle Ben Parker. Peter is shaken with revenge while the parasite tries to unite with peter and then finally takes control of him. The fusion forms a new Spider-man, the black Spider-man with more power but also vengeful.

Swinging with Spiderman 3, all ages and genders shall get everything they have been yearned for from easy-for-the-brain entertainment movie. Mild-mannered superhero with reasonable fear and courage, cool action moves, extremely cool that is impossible to be done by a normal man, humorous and also dramatic dialogue entwined with simple storyline. Pure entertainment!

Spider-man 3 definitely has its moments, especially when Mary Jane is having a dinner with Peter Parker, tee hee, I really dig into comedy, and still the scene here still makes me laugh like a kid. Well most of other comedy movies (mediocre ones actually) couldn't even make me giggle like this.

On the level about the flaw of this great movie, is that there are too many villains. And for that too many villains, you will be leaving the theater with a feeling that somehow its running length should be much longer. But the question is, would Spider-man still be that good of a movie if it reached 3 hours? Nevertheless, the plot manages to tackle the problem and give smooth ways for those villains to show up in a logical manner and...in great actions.

Spider-man 3 enlivens the imagination of some people who are wondering what if Spider-man is the bad guy, how worse could he be, what sort of creepy crawly would he like. That...added with the right music, probably for the adults, the black Spider-man would suit them better, Much Better.

Spider-man 3 and all its franchises might not be the best movies ever, but they are definitely my favorite movies ever and some of the best entries in the Superhero genre. If Spider-man 3 is the final entry of Spider-man franchise by Sam Raimi then it seals the trilogy very very nicely.
