In this installment of Spider-Man, Peter Parker (Tobey Maquire) wanted to propose to Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst). Meanwhile Harry Osborn (James Franco) wanted to kill Peter because he thought that Spider-Man killed his father. At the same time, Peter found out the it was Flint Marko (Thomas Haden Church), who later turned into Sandman, was the person who actually killed Peter' Uncle Ben (Cliff Robertson). Peter was later influenced by some extra-terrestrial block solid/liquid material which made him arrogant and his Spider-Man suit turn block. Eddie Brock (Topher Grace), who was fired by Jonah Jameson (J. K. Simmons) turned into Venom. Sandman and Venom joined hands to kill Spider-Man, and got Mary Jane as hostage. Peter asked Harry to help him to save Mary Jane, despite their differences…

It is very hard to find a sequel that is better than the former episodes. In the Spider-Man series, the third episode tops both the first 2. The film is an excitement from the beginning to the end. The story started with continuing the story line of the second episode, and does not seem a bit to be written later than the release of the previous 2 episodes as the progression is so smooth. Despite being a commercial product for making billions of dollars, the film is good by itself.

Tobey Maquire has some interesting performance which makes both the characters Peter and Spider-Man much more colorful. Other actors' performances are also good.

The film talks about forgiveness and anger. The messages are a little bit subtle. If you know the fate of Sandman and Venom, you will know what the writers are trying to say, though.

In short, a brilliant sequel and an excitement for all of us. Good film!
