What did you LOVE about Spider-man 3 [Archive]

We have one, might as well have the other topic.

For starters...

I think this is the best MJ has came off in the series.

Eddie Brock's motivation here was much better than it was in the comic.

Sandman was actually given some real emotional impact and character.

Spider-man's personality changes. It just found the perfect blend of conceited, "cool", and pure Parker dorkyness.

The fight scenes were top notch. Especially the end one.

Venom's new look. It was just cool. (Although I don't think the black costume looked quite as neat on Peter.)

The more solid symbite. A really neat visual and had more more appeal than the typical goo.

The fights scenes and characters. The movie was top notch, surpassing the comics many times.

Eddie Brock/Venom was better than the comics, like stated above.

We actually saw the symbiote affect Peter's moral compass.

Million more things.

Spider-Man's landlord's daughter was a really appealing character. What was her name, again?

Uh... J. Jonah Jameson was in the film?

Oh, the Bruce Campbell cameo was fantastic.

Other than that, my disappointment in the movie pretty much broke my heart.

The casting....
Topher Grace as Eddie Brock, Byrce Dallas Howard as Gwen Stacy, James Cromwell as Captain Stacy and Thomas Hayden Church as Sandman all played their roles well. And the standard cast did their jobs well.

The special effects, especially Sandman and the Alien Costume.

The final battle. Spider-Man going to save the woman he loves from the well-matched duo of Sandman and Venom.

I liked the fight scenes. The first w/Peter and New Goblin was good, as well as Peter and Harry when he used his web to throw the bomb back at Harry, any of the fights w/Sandman and the last battle. Call me crazy but I liked the movie. I thought 3 villains? Thats too much but after seeing how it played out (harry helping out Peter at the end) it all gelled nicely. I didn't like Sandman flying off at the end, he should have just died or whatever when Harry blasted him w/the pumpkin bombs, but whatever

People hate on this movie too much... Well, I loved Venom in the movie a lot more than I liked him in the comics. It was more personal in the movie, and Venom came off as more of a darker Spidey, not the slobbering mess he is in the comics. And Gwen was amazing, and I actually enjoyed her more than I did MJ. And then there's Bruce Campbell, casually stealing the scene.

Like I said in the other thread, I didn't think the film was that bad, but you could tell that they were desperately trying to make everything come together and didn't quite succeed. That said, here's some of the moments I did like:

*Peter and Harry's aerial battle above and around Manhattan. Best fight sequence in the entire film and certainly topped any of the Green Goblin fights from the first film.
*The Sandman's "birth," which has accurately been described as akin to the creation of the Golem. A SFX sequence that was mesmerizing, weird, and poignant.
*Peter's disastrous date with MJ at the French Restaurant. Perfectly captured just how utterly clueless how much he took MJ for granted. Plus, it was another Bruce Campbell appearance.
*Okay, everybody will think I'm nuts, but I actually liked the montage where Peter embraces his rather dorky dark side. His talking on the phone and barely listening to Doc Connors while making Chocolate Cake girl his obedient maid, shamelessly putting the moves on Betty, strutting his stuff and getting "whatever" looks from every woman he tries to impress--hilarious. Well, maybe I really didn't need to see that hip-thrust boogie he did when he left the clothing store, but even so...
*Bryce Dallas Howard as Gwen Stacy. Too bad she didn't get much to do other than be a plot device.
*And I also liked how they emphasized the concept of Eddie Brock essentially being a flip-side of Peter Parker, and Topher Grace captured it pretty well, I thought.

*Peter and Harry's aerial battle above and around Manhattan. Best fight sequence in the entire film and certainly topped any of the Green Goblin fights from the first film.
I thought the fight was okay, but was too convoluted to follow perfectly. I much prefer fights like Neo's fight with Agent Smith in the subway from the first Matrix film to swirly, bounce off walls, camera-can't-keep-up fights akin to the Harry/Spidey fight. Like I said, it wasn't awful, but it could've been better. They definitely showed they have the SFX capability.

*The Sandman's "birth," which has accurately been described as akin to the creation of the Golem. A SFX sequence that was mesmerizing, weird, and poignant.
Yeah, totally awesome work here. Best part of the film. Top-notch all around.

I cringed at the whole strut scene. Maybe I just don't like laughing at a clueless hero.
*Bryce Dallas Howard as Gwen Stacy. Too bad she didn't get much to do other than be a plot device.
Basically agreed here, as well. I think they should've taken a Spider-Man: Blue tactic with the Spidey movies and his love life. Gwen Stacey's death is just such a powerful moment they're passing up on to go with the lame, stereotypical, "I've always loved you"/"You're the love of my life!" thing with a cookie-cutter MJ. I think Spider-Man: Blue handled the love story there quite well (and the semi-love triangle that wasn't a full-on, soap opera love triangle) and the Spidey movies could've benefited greatly from it.
*And I also liked how they emphasized the concept of Eddie Brock essentially being a flip-side of Peter Parker, and Topher Grace captured it pretty well, I thought.
Yeah, I completely bought Grace's Eddie Brock-as-a-dickhead performance. Having him outright photoshop an old photo of Spidey was a bit weak, but it worked well enough and served as a motive for him to hate PP. Sadly, while the Eddie Brock character worked, Venom failed completely, IMO. In genesis and in practice.

I thought the movie had a ton of great moments (even if they just didn't come together in a satisfying way).

-The Peter/Harry plains clothes fight
-The Sandman fights. Though they did go buy quickly. I thought the rivaled most of the Doc Ock scenes in the first movie (aside from the train one).
-Sandman and Venom's origins.
-Bruce Campbell.
-Topher Grace as Eddie Brock/Venom. Definately embraced the evil twin aspect of Venom.
-Thomas Hayden Church as Sandman. The Gentle Thug aspect worked though he was horribly underused.
-THe final battle was pretty cool. And I liked seeing harry and Peter team up.
-I dug the strut montage.

I loved Kirsten Dunst performance as Mary Jane. Best acting in the movie and best writing for MJ in the trilogy.

Peter and Harry's two fights as well as the final double duel was awesome. It didn't top the train fight but it was still cool.

"Dark" Peter was hilarious. People say that he's dorky insted of dark. They're right. But guess what, he's Peter Parker. Of course he's always going to be dorky.

James Franco does his best Harry Osborn yet. His interation with Tobey was great and felt genuine.

Topher Grace worked really well as Eddie Brock. Making him an evil version of Peter Parker was a great idea and Topher did brilliantly.

Alaways great to see J.K Simmons as Jonah and Bruce Campbell was similarily great in his cameo.

I loved the ending. It showed that the entire trilogy was about Peter and Mary Jane. Spider-man just happens to be a part of their everyday life.

Bryce Dallas Howard was damn hot.

And, as always, Tobey Maguire was superb as Peter Parker.

I thought SM3 was pretty good, not as good as the 1st one though. I loved the fight scenes and "bad" Spidey. Can't say loved Sandman being that emotional or Venom being too much of a joke. I would rank it 4 out of 5 stars.

Can people please stop using this to continuously insult the movie in one way or another? It's a what you loved about it thread, not how many ways you can insult it without flat-out saying that it stunk. Jeez.

Anyways:
-Sandman was overall incredible. The character, the actor, the emotion, the special effects, and so on. The scene where he pulls himself together again is one of the best movie scenes I have ever seen.
-Venom was also incredible. He had such a deliciously evil feel, and looked really, really good. Topher gave off that slimey but badass feeling. He was Peter's perfect opposite.
-Emo Peter was hilarious.
-J. Jonah Jameson once again adds to the magic perfectly, if not even better than before.
-Gwen Stacey. While I'm mad about the fact that she showed up past her time, you still need to give props to the crew for picking the perfect Gwen.
-The special effects and fight scenes were flat out amazing. The opening Spider-Man vs. New Goblin fight was something else.
-The script, while sometimes shady in plot, was strong in dialogue. It kept the mainstream feel of Spider-Man.
-Aunt May is adorable.
-While no Danny Elfman, Young made a some great scores in this movie.
-Bruce Campbell was awesome as usual.
-Stan Lee!
-James Franco's best acting in the trilogy. His 'good' Harry felt so sincere and sweet. He felt like the kind of person that you'd want to meet. And his Green Goblin was pretty good. His manipulation scenes were fantastic.
-Once again, Tobey is triumphant as Peter Parker.
-You've gotta love Ursula.
-The apartment owner was hilarious. "I am good man".
-The parade with the Spider-Man theme song playing was a nice touch.

One of the first comics I ever read was Harry's death in Spectacular Spider-Man #200. It was a huge thrill for me to see that and the friendship and rivalry between Peter and Harry on the big screen.

I liked the Sandman transformation scene as well as the fights and special effects throughout the movie.

I also really appreciate the fact that a superhero movie got a full trilogy without recasting a role or changing the director.

Spider-Man's landlord's daughter was a really appealing character. What was her name, again?

Ursula Ditkovich, and I agree.

Well, good things about it were mentioned in the thread about things that sucked about the movie—you have to expect the opposite will occur. I don't believe anything can truly be reflected upon completely one-sidedly; you can't talk about the good without the bad, nor vice-versa. Well, not honestly, IMO. Especially not "shades" of good and bad.

What did I love about Spidey 3

-Venom(his look, his character, the fact that he is the only one who is truly evil)

-CG scenes WERE improved, CG Spidey didn't look too much like a cartoon character

-I loved the sheer humor I got out of the retarded chick flick romance moments between Peter and MJ(but I was taking it out of context and I probably couldn't laugh at those drama scenes if I see it a second time)

-The first apperance of Spider-Man where the floor of that tower COLLAPSES onto the floor below it.

-J. Jonah Jameson

-Bruce Campbell

-Bryce. Dallas. Howard.

-The second Peter/Harry fight, and the final fight.

Truth is, I actually enjoyed Spidey 3 when I saw it. While the first one I thought was flawed but I forgave Raimi because he was setting up the characters, and the second one I absolutely HATED for numerous reasons I stated before, which tainted the first one for me as well becasue I knew what Raimi's vision is.

But Spidey three had enough action sequences to keep me entertained, while the rest I was able to turn into humor for me and laugh at the retarded drama. But turning those scenes into humor would probably only work once for me, and mix that with the fact that Raimi royally screwed with the continuity, and the fact that Raimi's vision is Peter's suffering plus his love for MJ is FIRST and Spidey and his adventures and who he has to stop is SECOND, and then not to mention Spidey is played by Tobey Ma-freaking-guire... well put all that together makes me think if I see the movie again, I'll probably hate it.

Things I liked about Spider-Man 3?

The "evil" Peter Parker sequences. They made the movie for me. In fact, I think Spider-Man 4 should be an over-the-top musicale. It would be fantastic.

Peter vs. Harry. My favorite fight sequences in any of the movies thus far.

James Franco. So good!

I dunno, we saw MJ put on her happy face for Spidey's public appearance, she didn't bring up the upside-down kiss until she realized Peter knew Gwen socially, and she still went to offer Peter moral support after he learned how his uncle died, only to get blown off.

After all that, her one questionable act (kissing Harry) seems more than forgivable. Hell, Peter should get down on his knees and be thankful she stopped things at a kiss.

To be honest, I can't really see the resembelence(sp?). To me, Venom was like a mix of human and various animals, showing traits of beasts far and wide. While I would've preferred the more human and just violent comic Venom, the animalistic idea still made sense to me. I mean, the symbiote is really an animal in all technicality, and it is supposed to bring out the more evil and primal side of you in the film.

It was quite rediculous, MJ only acted immature whereas Peter acted like an asshole, the whole kiss with Gwen thing was his doing.. you have to be pretty ignorant and arrogant to expect that to just fly.
I agree with Sean that MJ kissing harry was understandable and more forgivable, Peter should've been on his knees begging.

Thomas Hayden Church was really good as Sandman. It was like watching LeBron James playing basketball with a bunch of middle schoolers.

Other than that, the fight scenes were pretty awesome. "New Goblin" (awful name BTW) vs. plain-clothed Peter was fun. and watching the two of them team up against the villain duo at the end was cool, also.

That's about it, though.

This movie was the best out of the 3 IMO. I loved pretty much the whole thing.

It solved my biggest complaint with Spiderman 2 and perfectly balanced the action/villains with the drama. In that sense, having 3 villains helped the movie when you compare it to Spiderman 2. The movie wasn't perfect, but neither were the others in the series. This one had much better structure and held all the plots together nicely, unlike Spiderman 2 where it was Peter after MJ and oh, yeah, Doc Ock is running around too.

I loved everything about Sandman. Church's performance was amazing, and the special effects were top notch. They gave Marko a real depth that I appreciated.

I thought James Franco did a good job of expanding on his portrayal of Harry in the first 2 movies.

Dryce Dallas Howard and James Cromwell were excellent casting choices for their respective roles, but were sadly underutilised.

Makes me wonder if there are some deleted scenes with him in it. Or at least more scripted scenes that got ditched when they started screwing with the screenplay.

There was a deleted scene of Eddie going to Gwen's house, looking for some sympathy after he had gotten fired. Gwen tries to let him down, Eddie becomes stalkerish, and Captain Stacy threatens him off the property.

That's certainly what I was thinking. When I first heard that Cromwell had been cast in the role, I was actually excited. I couldn't think of a better actor for the role.

Then I see the film, and there is no role. Just a couple of quick scenes that any actor could have pulled off.
