How is spidey-3? Wonderful, superb, Excellent! One can go on adding adjectives in it’s praise. The movie with it’s strong storyline and amazing visuals has everything going for it. It’s a perfect blend.
Superheros are no longer all goody-goody men with extra-ordinary powers. Yes, they do face problems in life, they do face dilemmas, and they also have to choose between good and bad. But, the difference between common man and them is that after some struggle they eventually end up choosing the good. This makes them far superior to others than their super powers. As the caption for the movie rightly says “The Greatest Battle lies within”. The one who wins it is the greatest super hero of all. Spider Man -3 brings this point home.
Tobey Maguire comes up with a brilliant performance. His expressions speak louder than dialogues as a possessed spider man. Kirsten Dunst and others come up with a decent performance. But, it is Toby Maguire who is clearly in control. He plays spider-man with amazing ease.
All in all, spider man stands tall among all the other superheroes who seem to be crowding the market off late. That’s why as he himself says in the movie, people love him, so do the audience. Definitely worth watching!
