Breaking box-office and hype records everywhere, the third outing of Peter Parker and his gang of flawed super-villains has finally arrived. But it hasn’t so much arrived with a bang as it has a small, controlled explosion.
We find Peter (Tobey Maguire) and Mary-Jane (Kirsten Dunst) where the last film left off; happy and annoying. But soon MJ hits career-trouble and she becomes even more of a whiney, irritating twat. Peeved that her hero boyfriend is too busy saving people’s lives to be extra nice to her, the two drift apart. With the help of an alien symbiote, Peter finds his darkside and goes all… dark. Meanwhile, he has to contend with his vengeful best friend (James Franco), his uncle’s sandy murderer (Thomas Haden Church) and a rival photographer (Topher Grace).
