Summary
At the start things seem to be going pretty well for the webslinger. Much to the consternation of the Daily Bugles J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons, hilarious as always), Spidey's become New York's favorite celebrity, and is even given the key to the city by the prettiest girl in his chemistry class (a terrible Bryce Dallas Howard). Unfortunately [Tobey Maguire]'s Peter Parker seems to be letting all this adulation go to his head, and he's paying so little attention to his precious Mary Jane Watson ([Kirsten Dunst]) that our clueless hero doesn't even notice she's been fired from her Broadway debut.
Wait, I haven't even gotten to Topher Grace's Eddie Brock, an unctuous ass who's trying to muscle his way into Parker's gig at the Daily Bugle by Photoshopping forgeries of Spider-Man committing robberies so the people of New York will turn on their hero. And that's before Brock gets his grubby paws on some of that alien goo.Honestly, folks, it's exhausting just trying to type all this out. Spider-Man 3 eventually gets so tangled and top-heavy, [Sam Raimi] has to resort to Peter Parker watching television so news crews can helpfully recap at least an hour's worth of off-screen events that set the final battle in motion. (Note to aspiring screenwriters: If your superhero needs to watch CNN in order to figure out what's going on in his own damn movie, that's a good sign you've written yourself into a corner.)See the full content of this document
