Raimi raises the stakes The Spider-Man triquel from Sam Raimi was supposed to be. The first two films were quite successful, which anticipated the appearance of the third work of the franchise. Sam Raimi and the screenwriters clearly decided to raise the bar, piling up the tape not only with new characters, but also massively intertwining the destinies of the characters so that by the middle of the film it was quite possible to get confused about who and with whom is in what relationship at this particular moment in time. As a result, I will not lie to my soul, saying that it is customary to scold the film in the society of moviegoers. However, in my opinion, the picture came out quite decent, becoming a kind of completion of the story of Peter Parker performed by Tobey Maguire. Looking ahead, it should be noted that the fourth part of the series was planned, but it was not destined to see the light. It is quite possible that the successes and failures of the third film predetermined the fate of the failed sequel. In the third film about a friendly neighbor, from the very start we are shown that the main characters are doing great. Everything seems to be cloudless in Peter and Mary Jane's relationship. However, like the sword of Damocles, the threat from Harry Osborne looms. Ever since the end of the second film, this unpleasant feeling of danger for the Spider and his loved ones has not left, when Harry revealed the secret of his father Norman Osborn. A predictable plot begins to develop when, in addition to difficulties with a new opponent, Spider-Man has problems due to an incomprehensible cosmic entity that decided to get attached to him like a parasite. In addition, the symbiote reveals the basest feelings of the host, which is shown in the changed Peter. However, in this rapid development of the plot, you involuntarily notice how the scenario moves seem to be adjusted to the events necessary for the authors. Sometimes everything looks a little like the truth. For example, Spider-Man does not look like himself, conflicts between the characters arise out of the blue, which makes the work somehow unreal. And this is a significant blunder of the film. On the other hand, you feel a certain dislike, probably, for every main character. Their actions are surprising and frustrating. It seems that Sam Raimi decided to reveal the basest instincts of his characters, turning literally everyone into some kind of villain. At least I didn't feel much empathy for Parker, Osborne, or Watson. It seems they deserved everything that happened to them in the first half of the film. The classic twist of the third work of the trilogy also works in the film, which sends us to the first one, where the deception lies. And if this topic was revealed well enough in the film "Scream 3" (although everything was probably far-fetched there too), then here an unexpected turn does not fit into the canvas at all, and the disclosure of the plot twist makes you frown and even resent out loud. However, I was ready to accept this turn of events because of the arch of a Sandman named Flint Marco, who carries his burden of a murderer and just wants to be near his daughter. The story of this antagonist catches on, makes you see the world of Spider-Man from a different side. The screenwriters are exploring the nature of the villain for the third time. If Norman Osborn and Otto Octavius were such in the first two films, then Flint Marco became such a hero here. The third film raises the level of action on the screen. There are an order of magnitude more battle scenes here. Sure. Opponents have also increased. In order for the viewer to enjoy a beautiful picture, it was necessary to surprise with various scenes of chases and fights. It turned out quite well. The film still looks great from this point of view. The finale is touching. Each of the characters reconciles with his "I" and finds solace in the strong friendship that each of the trio carries through the years. The bright dawn of a new day seems to tell the audience that everything is behind them, and something new awaits the characters, which, by coincidence, will already remain behind the scenes. "Spider-Man 3" came out as a worthy conclusion to the famous and now classic trilogy. It's a solid blockbuster with good drama inside. Let the film stand apart from the first two pictures, still this story is undoubtedly necessary for a complete immersion in the world of Peter Parker and his loved ones. 10 out of 10
