Peter Parker and M.J. seem to finally be on the right track in their complicated relationship, but trouble looms for the superhero and his lover. Peter's Spider-Man suit turns black and takes control of him, not only giving Peter enhanced power but also bringing out the dark side of his personality. He must overcome the suit's influence as two supervillains, Sandman and Venom, rise up to destroy him and all those he holds dear.

Critics Consensus

Though there are more characters and plotlines, and the action sequences still dazzle, Spider-Man 3 nonetheless isn't quite as refined as the first two.

3.5/5

Spider-Man 3 is the longest film in the series so far, and perhaps it tries to pack in rather too much. But it's intelligently directed by Sam Raimi and, with all those eye-popping set pieces, it's certainly never boring.

The breeziness that was so refreshing in the other episodes has been largely replaced by the kind of misery and moping that we can get from any old superhero.

2/4

Too many villains, too many pale plot strands, too many romantic misunderstandings, too many conversations, too many street crowds looking high into the air and shouting "oooh!" this way, then swiveling and shouting "aaah!" that way.

I remembered this being worse than it was. The first act is fine but it's once we get to the third act that things going really off the rails...It's a mess.

This is terribly acted, poorly paced, and feels like two completely different films at times. I'm still haunted by the terrible response this received from the audience opening night in the theater.

On a technical level, the production was never better. There were multiple cutting-edge special effects sequences and techniques used here...

Feels like 2007 almost but I liked it was a good movie way better than what we’re getting now of Tom Holland plus not only I love the black suit and new goblin but venom and Sandman too wish there was a fourth film hopefully for the future

Rewatching this an adult was a great experience. There was moments were I was about to cry. Loved when Aunt May gave Peter her wedding ring and the history of Pete & Harry. Thank you Sam Raimi and crew!!
