Spiderman 3 (Blu-Ray)
The Greatest Battle Lies Within.
Features: Widescreen, Aspect Ratio 2.40:1, Dolby Digital (5.1), English, Subtitled, French, Spanish
Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man 3 reunites the cast and filmmakers from the first two blockbuster adventures for a web of secrets, vengeance, love, and forgiveness that will transport worldwide audiences to thrilling new heights!
In Spider-Man 3, based on the legendary Marvel Comics series, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. (Kirsten Dunst) and his duties as a superhero. But there is a storm brewing on the horizon. When his suit suddenly changes, turning jet-black and enhancing his powers, it transforms Peter as well, bringing out the dark, vengeful side of his personality that he is struggling to control. Under the influence of the suit, Peter becomes overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care about him most. Forced to choose between the seductive power of the new suit and the compassionate hero he used to be, Peter must overcome his personal demons as two of the most-feared villains yet, Sandman and Venom, gather unparalleled power and a thirst for retribution to threaten Peter and everyone he loves.
"...nifty new villains, a revived Green Goblin, plus $300 million worth of aerial special effects...definitely good to go." Jack Mathews, New York Daily News
"...packed with crowd-pleasing moments and satisfactorily wraps up the trilogy..." Lou Lumenick, New York Post
"The wow factor works overtime with state-of-the-art effects sequences that often are as beautiful as they are astonishing." Michael Rechtshaffen, The Hollywood Reporter
"...a wonderfully imagined, heartfelt piece of pop entertainment...spectacular eye candy..." Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
"...it's more of the same -- except better." Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Editor's Note
The Marvel comics hero returns for more high-flying fun in this third installment in the series. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is up to his usual Spidey tricks, attending university classes as an awkward geek, then quickly slipping into his red-and-blue suit to save New York City from various villains. And there are villains aplenty. Thomas Hayden Church blows in as the Sandman, an escaped convict whose molecular structure is destroyed in a particle accelerator. The freak accident gives him the ability to form and reform from piles of dust. While the Sandman sifts through the city streets robbing banks, Spidey must also contend with his onetime friend, Harry (James Franco), who has taken up where his father, the Green Goblin, left off. Harry chases Spider-Man down on his goblin glider, hurling pumpkin bombs. But Spider-Man's biggest battle is perhaps within himself, when he is taken over by meteorite ooze--a substance that gives him great power, but also turns him into a vengeful, selfish jerk. Throw into the mix Peter's new competition at the Daily Bugle--the ambitious, sneaky Eddie Brock (Topher Grace)--and Peter's relationship troubles with Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst), and SPIDER-MAN 3 weaves a tangled web indeed.
Director Sam Raimi's playful style and his delightfully campy screenplay hold true to the spirit of the Stan Lee comics, and he does an excellent job of hitting all the right superhero notes. Raimi has created an action film that is a feast for the eyes, but comes with fully rounded characters and a moving moral lesson to boot. The special effects are astounding, but Raimi makes sure the film isn't all action and no talk--he makes Peter's struggle a human one, and one that we can all relate to, regardless of our web-spinning ability.

As Peter Parker faces his inner demons, Spider-Man 3 could be subtitled The Passion of the Spidey, a provocative approach that risks alienating the hardcore comic crowd and even some just expecting a piece of popular entertainment, but it is never dull and it is ultimately rewarding to anyone willing to follow Peter as he tours his dark side...The battles are spectacular and occasionally humorous, especially in the scenes between Spider-Man and Sandman as his consistency keeps changing...But the emphasis is less on action and less on comedy than it is on pathos...This is the stuff of Douglas Sirk, not comic books, and while that is bound to strike some fans as just plain wrong, it is a refreshing new take on an old story. Raimi and his collaborators could have coasted, offering a more conventional comic book conflict, and that would have been entertaining. Instead, they offer a view of Spider-Man's world that is far more intriguing, a fresh look at an old legend, instead of a tired sequel. - Pam Grady
