Spider-Man 3 is the final film in the original Spider-Man Trilogy, released on May 4, 2007. It is the third Spider-Man film overall, and the last one in this particular continuity.Peter Parker, it seems, is finally living the life he wants — New York doesn't seem to be gunning for him, he's with the girl of his dreams, and he's managing to balance his normal life with the life of Spider-Man. But his overconfidence leads to tension with MJ when he begins flirting with Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard); and Harry Osborn, having discovered that his best friend is Spider-Man, decides to take his father's Goblin serum and seek vengeance.Meanwhile, escaped convict Flint Marko is turned into the shapeshifting Sandman (Thomas Haden Church) after entering a particle accelerator, and is revealed to have been involved with the same criminal who killed Peter's Uncle Ben. As well, a mysterious alien organism crashes to Earth and bonds with Peter, enhancing his powers but also influencing his behavior for the worse. When this symbiote is abandoned, it finds refuge in a rival, Eddie Brock, Jr. (Topher Grace), who becomes the maniac Venom.A sequel was in development, but Creative Differences between Sony and Sam Raimi led to its cancellation. The franchise was rebooted as The Amazing Spider-Man Series, with Marc Webb in the director's chair and Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man.Thomas Haden Church returns as the Sandman in Spider-Man: No Way Home. | |

Artistic License – Gun Safety: Invoked. Flint Marko shot Uncle Ben by accident when he was startled by Carradine, because he had his finger on his gun’s trigger while pointing it at Ben’s chest. He feels horrible about it and it’s implied that he’s the one that called the ambulance. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Downplayed, but compared to 2, the movie is darker and a bit more violent and bloody. It explores the heroes having a dark side, with Peter embracing his, becoming a violent, vengeful Blood Knight who tries to kill Sandman and even after (briefly) discarding the symbiote suit, rather proudly tells Aunt May that Spider-Man has killed Uncle Ben's murderer. His next fight against Harry is also very violent, with Peter intentionally beating him up and cruelly mocking him before disfiguring him, something Peter wouldn't have done in the previous movies. And with two villains ganging up and beating the ever loving shit out of him in the climax with the entire city watching, the stakes get pretty high. The movie ends with a character we have known for three whole movies dying, as opposed to one that is introduced in this very movie. The ending doesn't even have Spider-Man triumphantly swinging through New York City, but Peter and MJ slowly dancing together, wordlessly forgiving each other and (most likely) giving their relationship another chance. That being said, it is nowhere as dark as the trailers made you believe it would be. Also, unlike the first two movies and much like the next one, most of the fight scenes are set in the night time, giving a slightly eery feel to them, especially the ones where Peter is wearing the black suit. | |

Conflicting Loyalty: Harry's story arc in the movie as he wavers between trusting Peter or fulfilling (what he believes are) his father's wishes. Complicating the decision further is his knowledge of Peter and Norman's actions as Spider-Man and Green Goblin. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Peter and later Eddie being affected by the symbiote seems reminiscent of drug addiction and the mood swings that accompany it. Getting rid of the symbiote could be like trying to get off of drugs. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: According to the novelization: Peter tried for months after Doc Ock’s defeat to talk to Harry about Norman's death, including at his home and OsCorp, but Harry kept pushing him away. Peter eventually decided to give his friend space until he was ready. After the premiere of MJ's show, Harry wavers when Peter tries to appeal to him, but hardens after seeing another hallucination of Norman in his car window. The symbiote is drawn to the power and energy from Peter's molecular structure after landing on Earth. Flint escaped prison after 18 months by sneaking off during an enforced outing to clean up the local highways when a fight broke out among the convicts. Harry’s flying board is called the Sky Stick. The latter half of Peter and Harry’s brawl takes place in Chinatown. Peter claims Harry was hurt in a hit-and-run at the hospital. Quest Research, related to Quest Aerospace, is conducting the particle accelerator demolecularization test (ostensibly for molecular research, but the scientists suspect they’ll try to weaponize it). Worried about industrial espionage since Green Goblin's attack on their testing grounds, Quest’s upper management chose more remote places for research facilities and conducted experiments at night. The sand at the base of the accelerator gun is to measure molecular bonding. Though their dialogues are swapped from the book, one of the scientists is named Dr. T Alan Chafin, the senior scientist is named Sean O’Sheanote Both either dismissing the intrusion as a bird or initiating testing, Chafin's assistant is named Ashley Michelnote Alerting the team to a fluctuation, and Donnie Blaswell is another techniciannote Noting the change in silicon mass. Flint stole a car and drove into a remote area of the New Jersey marshlands. While filling the tank, he was spotted when a police car pulled in for gas, kickstarting the chase for him. Flint's presence at the accelerator site was covered up to protect Quest's experiments. The photo shoot Gwen participates in is for an office supply catalog and takes place at the law firm Miller and Ingersoll, Esq. She only answered the comedy model ad to make some extra money. The brunette Latina model is named J.J. Sachs, the redhead is named Wendy Goldstein, and the photographer is named Ernie Schultz. Gwen gives Wendy relationship advice during the shoot. Peter comes to the key ceremony partly to prove something to Jameson. Mary Jane's replacement is named Helen. Gwen met Eddie at a Starbucks near college. After their second encounter there (which Gwen suspects was deliberate on his part), Eddie walked her home and she impulsively gave him a kiss of thanks. Flint gives himself the moniker Sandman during his first robbery after his Freak Lab Accident. Peter briefly fears that George Stacy will find out he’s Spider-Man after seeing him at Constellation. Before the subway fight, Spider-Man takes off his mask and reveals his identity to Flint while demanding to know why he killed Ben. Brock tries to take pictures of Spider-Man and Sandman’s fight down the grate. Peter has more trouble taking off the suit when he arrives home. Harry regains his memories after his phone call with MJ. He initially resists his hallucination of Norman urging him to continue doing his father's bidding until after MJ leaves. Gwen and George are initially humiliated for rewarding Spider-Man with the key to the city when he is framed as a criminal. Connors exposed a lab mouse to a tiny portion of the symbiote, causing it to brutally kill another mouse. MJ feels No Sparks in her kiss with Harry and realizes it's unfair to force love between them. MJ was too scared to tell Peter that Harry threatened her into breaking up with him because she was warned Harry was keeping an eye on her, along with her scrambled emotional state. After Peter knocks her down at the Jazz Room, she spots his black suit and realizes it's controlling him. When Peter leaves, MJ prays for him to find help and come back to her. Peter built a containment for the symbiote once he recovered from removing it, but couldn’t find the organism in the church by the time he returned. The sandcastle Flint creates for Penny is in reference to a castle snow globe he gave her as a 5th birthday present. Gwen is among those present at Spider-Man's battle with Venom and Sandman, having come with her father after seeing MJ on the news, and blames herself for these events after discovering Eddie is Venom. In order for Peter to be allowed at the Jazz Room again, MJ had to claim that his behavior was due to clashing prescription drugs. | |

Say My Name: Peter does this a few times after Harry is knocked out in their first fight. He does the same thing in the climax, screaming Harry's name in anguish when Harry is fatally impaled by his own glider. Peter yells "Eddie!" when Eddie instinctively tries to re-bond with the symbiote... after Peter just threw a pumpkin bomb at it to destroy it. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: A lot of problems could have been solved if some of the people involved simply talked to each other. Mary Jane in particular is quite guilty of this. Judging by the conversation between Peter and Harry at the beginning of the film, Peter still hasn't actually sat Harry down and told him everything that happened the night of Norman's death. Granted, it's entirely possible Harry wouldn't have believed him anyway, but Peter could still have put forth more effortnote Though the novelization clarifies he had been trying ever since the end of Spider-Man 2 but was repeatedly blocked by Harry. Peter even acknowledged he could use his powers to force a confrontation but was afraid it would alienate Harry further so he decided to give his friend space until he was ready to talk. A lot of the tension between MJ and Peter could have been dealt with if MJ had just told Peter that her part in the play was recast. Whenever Peter brings up the bad review, MJ just smiles awkwardly and doesn't say anything, so one could chalk it up to her being too ashamed to say anything, but she tells Harry with absolutely no issue whatsoever. In her defense, she likely didn't want to bring down Peter's mood during the key-to-the-city ceremony, and is interrupted by circumstances afterwards. Some of the tension could also have been cut if MJ had just talked to Peter about how he was letting his fame as Spider-Man go to his head a bit. Also, when forced to break up with Peter, MJ never mentions that Harry has a.) gotten his memory back and b.) threatened to hurt Peter if she didn't do so. Given that Harry was nowhere close enough to them to overhear their conversation, she could have easily whispered it to Peter or found another covert way to convey the message. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: In the comics, Eddie Brock is a principled Intrepid Reporter and what causes his fall from grace isn't faking news, but instead reporting something from a faulty source. And while movie Brock goes to a church to pray for Peter Parker's death, comic Brock does so to pray for forgiveness due to being Driven to Suicide. As a result, this also applies to Venom - in the comics, he started off as an obsessive nemesis toward Spider-Man, willing to do everything in his power to humiliate him over ruining his life, but then slowly got over it and developed into a Noble Demon '90s Anti-Hero, something that the next film to feature him will follow through with. In this film, Venom outright states that he loves being evil, terrorizing citizens and killing Harry just to screw with Peter. | |

Within Parameters: The scientists running an experiment involving a particle accelerator and sand notice that the mass of the sand is greater than expected. They write it off as a bird that will fly away once the experiment starts. The "bird" is actually Flint Marko, about to be turned into The Sandman. Exactly what sort of 200-pound bird the scientists were thinking of is anyone's guess. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Even though this was a major problem that caused strain on Peter's life and his relationship with Mary Jane in the previous film, it is never explained or shown how Peter managed to balance his life as a civilian and his life as Spider-Man, as his daily schedule in this film is exactly like his daily schedule in the previous film. Although, given that Mary Jane now knows that he is Spider-man and thus he no longer appears unreliable and inconsiderate for no reason, it explains why their relationship is less strained (at first). | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: A gold version of the Green Goblin mask from the first movie is seen in Harry's armory. The color scheme is a reference to the Hobgoblin from the comics. Many aspects of Venom were taken from Spider-Man: The Animated Series: The symbiote arrives on Earth the same way it does in that series. The scene where Spider-Man awakens from a nightmare to find himself hanging upside-down in front of a reflective window while wearing the Black Suit is a direct homage. There was also to be a scene where Peter sees a reflection of himself as Venom while looking in a reflective mirror, similar to a scene in the 1990's animated series, but it was cut out. The lettering that Eddie issues his challenge to Spider-Man in the news heavily resembles the font used for the title of the animated series. Venom taunts Spider-Man by using MJ's Affectionate Nickname for him ("Tiger"), much like he did in the series. One early Green Goblin story from the 60s had Norman go through amnesia after an injury in a fight with Spider-Man, only to later regain his memories during a nervous breakdown. Harry goes through a similar arc here. Unlike the comics, Spider-Man successfully saves Gwen Stacy from falling to her death. The lizard skeleton in Curt Connors' lab when he calls Peter about the symbiote is a clear reference to his supervillain alias, the Lizard. The novelization even has Peter wondering if Connors is planning to use his research on lizards to regrow his missing arm, before dismissing the notion. Peter hits on Betty during the height of the symbiote's influence. Betty is Peter's original Love Interest in the comics. "Flint Marko" was an alias used by the 616 Sandman in the comics, where his real name is William Baker. Here, the former name is his real one, as it was in Ultimate Spider-Man. The novelization also mentions William Marko and William Baker as Flint's aliases. In the novelization: In the prologue, Peter considers setting Harry up with Gwen, a nod to their relationship in the comics before she and Peter got together. At the key ceremony for Spider-Man, Peter sees a boy with a homemade web shooter and can't imagine how he himself would build such a device if he didn't have organic spinnerets. This is a nod to the comics, where most iterations of Peter use mechanical webshooters they designed, which was the original plan for the Raimi films. While first using his symbiote suit, Peter describes his boosted Spider-Sense "as if invisible weblines radiated in every direction, and he was at their center." This is how the power is drawn in the comics. Peter threatens to take his photos of Symbiote Spider-Man to the Globe if Jameson doesn't pay him more. The Daily Globe is the Bugle's biggest rival in the comics. | |

Throwback Threads | |

Throwback Threads: Around 1/3 into the movie, Peter Parker suddenly has a new black version of his Spider-Man costume, courtesy of the symbiote. It makes him stronger, but also more emotionally driven and makes him act less and less reserved, eventually ending with him making Mary Jane angry and humiliating himself in front of people. He then decided to take the suit off (by bashing himself onto a church's bell), but some time later, MJ gets kidnapped by Sandman and a mysterious villain; he goes to wear his old costume and storms out to save her. | |

Plus, Peter has a reason to be 100% sure that Spider-Man did not rob any bank. | |

Word of God states that he was supposed to be a hallucination, representing Harry's good side, but he's seen interacting with Harry in Peter's presence, who doesn't act as if anything's wrong. Perhaps you can make sense of it by assuming the butler does exist (and he is in fact in the previous movies, though practically just an extra with more than one scene), but Harry hallucinated his realization in the form of said butler. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Leans more towards the positive side: Harry is dead but made amends with Peter, and Peter has to come to terms with having acted like a colossal jerk. But he's managed to overcome his dark side, forgiven the man who (accidentally) killed his uncle, and it's implied that his rocky relationship with Mary Jane will heal and they'll be back together again (the last bit is ultimately confirmed in Spider-Man: No Way Home). The last scene is perfectly symbolic for the imperfect life a superhero leads. Peter walks into the club Mary Jane is singing at, and Mary Jane then stops singing, ironically at the line "care for no one", the moment she spots Peter, the person she cares about the most. When she stops singing to step down and dance with him, that is her choosing to sacrifice her dream to sing on Broadway in order to be with Peter through his life as a superhero. Mary Jane doesn’t have her career on Broadway but she has Peter. Peter doesn’t get to have a normal life, but he has Mary Jane. The sacrifices they have to make are unfair, but nothing is as miserable as not having the love of their life with them. Peter has lost a lot throughout these films, but this ending where he reconciles with Mary Jane shows that they're willing to stick it out together forever, just them against the world. The ending still tells us there is not a single force that can tear these two apart, as their story finally ends. | |

Then Peter exposes his fake, he loses his job, and Gwen breaks up with him — and then he meets the Venom symbiote... | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Peter under the influence of the symbiote lashes out at anyone he feels has wronged him in some way or the other. While his actions against Harry and Eddie could be justified, he takes it too far with Mary Jane by showing up at her workplace on a date with Gwen as revenge for her breaking up with him (also taking Harry's word for what happened without getting MJ's side of the story). After this fails and Peter knocks MJ down when she tries to break up a fight he starts, he finally realizes what he's become. Eddie Brock. Peter exposed Eddie's fraud against Spider-Man (which in itself was the result of Peter in the Venom Suit wrecking a camera that contained a legitimate picture of Venom Suit Spider-Man). Eddie's response? To go into a church and pray to God for Him to kill Peter. Then he got the Venom suit… Guess God doesn't like Spider-Man either. Which explains a lot, to be honest. | |

Bookends: The film starts and ends with a voiceover by Peter. The first is him saying that now things are going really well in his life. The second is that choices make people who they are, and they can always choose to do the right thing. The first movie ends with Norman dying by being impaled by his glider, and Peter and MJ attend his funeral (with Harry). This movie ends with Harry dying by being impaled by his glider, and Peter and MJ attend his funeral. | |

Seeking Sanctuary: After realizing things have gotten out of control, Peter goes to a church tower where he tries to free himself from the black symbiote. He later learns the ringing bells generate the loud noises that are the symbiote's weakness, freeing him. This is more or less how it happened in the comics. | |

Sympathetic Villain, Despicable Villain: The two villains that Spider-Man faces in the movie are Venom and the Sandman. While Sandman has a young daughter whom he cares for very much and feels remorse for shooting Uncle Ben years ago, Venom on the other hand wants revenge on Spider-Man for getting him fired from his job as a reporter for the Daily Bugle and threatens the life of Sandman's daughter in order to ensure his cooperation. | |

Easy Amnesia | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_55b1f9a1 | comment |
Harry tries to murder Peter in the opening act before succumbing to Easy Amnesia and turning good again; he recovers but downgrades his villainy from "try to kill Peter Parker" to "ruin his relationship with Mary-Jane"; later, when he and Symbiote-Peter clash, it's more a battle of two Jerkasses rather than a fight between a hero and a villain. In the finale, Harry ultimately becomes an Anti-Hero. | |

Stumbling in the New Form | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_58075ef2 | comment |
Stumbling in the New Form: When Flint Marko first becomes the Sandman, there is a poignant, dialogue-free scene when he first emerges as a vaguely human-shaped pile of sand. He struggles to get up, and keeps collapsing back into the sand. Eventually, he's able to stand up in a humanlike shape. When he sees his locket, he attempts to grab it, but it goes through his sandy hand. Soon, Sandman figures out how to make his body solid, and he is then able to make his sand body look exactly like his original body. | |

Central Theme: Choosing between revenge or forgiveness, as the former is the one driving the conflicts between Peter and the three villains. Harry Osborn chases Peter in the city attempting to kill him to avenge the death of his father. They reconcile when Harry learned the truth that his dad didn't exactly die because of his friend. It turns out Flint Marko was Uncle Ben's killer. Peter is furious when he learned this, but the former is Easily Forgiven in the end after learning of the circumstances. After being humiliated and losing his job at the Bugle, Eddie Brock wants Peter dead. It's also when he became Venom, and the hostility towards Peter is the reason why he convinced Flint to team up with him. | |

In the comics, Eddie Brock is a principled Intrepid Reporter and what causes his fall from grace isn't faking news, but instead reporting something from a faulty source. And while movie Brock goes to a church to pray for Peter Parker's death, comic Brock does so to pray for forgiveness due to being Driven to Suicide. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Venom is only marginally bulkier than Spider-Man, rather than the hulking brute he is in the comics, since he's played by an actor in an actual costume instead of being portrayed through motion capture CGI like in his next appearance. He also spends a lot of time "unmasked," presumably to save money on CGI in an already VFX-heavy movie. | |

Plot Hole | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: How did Peter manage to balance out his superhero life and his real life? The film never shows how Peter was able to balance his life out, and everything he does part of his daily schedule in this film is exactly like his daily schedule in the previous film. How did Eddie Brock know to kidnap Mary Jane to lure Peter? In the comics the symbiote tells him Peter is Spider-Man, but there's no indication the symbiote is more than a simple parasite. Maybe Sandman put two and two together and figured out Ben Parker was related to Peter? How in the hell does Eddie know anything at all about Sandman?! Much less about how Spider-Man won't let him help his sick daughter?! Readers of the comic may know the symbiote bestows information about Peter to Eddie, giving a reasonable explanation about how he knows about Sandman. Not quite so much about the daughter, though. However, this is not outright stated in the film so newcomers may still be in the dark. The above two issues are clarified in the film's novelization and tie-in comic, Spider-Man 3: The Black. As Venom, Eddie gained access to Peter's memories while bonded with the symbiote and learned about Mary Jane after breaking into Peter's apartment. He learned about Sandman's connection to Peter upon finding his police file after breaking into Gwen Stacy's house and approached Flint after his sandcastle visit to Penny. | |

Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_643879c7 | comment |
Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: Venom is never named at all. Likewise, Harry's costumed identity was referred to as "New Goblin" in promotional materials, but he's never even called that during the film. However, Peter does taunt Harry by calling him "Little Goblin Junior" at one point, which is the closest they come. This was barely averted with Flint Marko, who gets called "the Sandman" exactly once during a broadcast. | |

| Spider-Man 3 / int_653c5c73 | comment |
Cannot Spit It Out: A great deal of the movie's conflict could have been avoided if Peter had at least tried 1-2 films earlier to explain to Harry what happened with his father. He didn't even need to ignore Norman's final words, all he had to say was that he found his body that way and that the Green Goblin had killed him. Of course, by the time the fight with New Goblin happens, Harry is so consumed by anger that he won't believe Peter's words. | |

As a result, this also applies to Venom - in the comics, he started off as an obsessive nemesis toward Spider-Man, willing to do everything in his power to humiliate him over ruining his life, but then slowly got over it and developed into a Noble Demon '90s Anti-Hero, something that the next film to feature him will follow through with. In this film, Venom outright states that he loves being evil, terrorizing citizens and killing Harry just to screw with Peter. | |

At the end of the film, Flint reveals the truth: he did get Uncle Ben out of the car, but Uncle Ben tried to talk him down. Carradine ran over and shook Flint's arm, causing him to shoot Uncle Ben by accident. | |

Adaptation Explanation Extrication | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_794f3589 | comment |
Adaptation Explanation Extrication: Somehow, Brock/Venom knows everything about Sandman despite having no scenes with him prior to their meeting. Granted, in the comics, the symbiote transfers the thoughts of its host to its next one, but the movie doesn't even bother explaining this at all so those who didn't read the comics would know. The novelization confirms the thought transfer power, while the tie-in comic The Black explains he found Flint Marko's police file in the Stacys' house while stalking Gwen. Venom manages to consistently get the drop/surprise on Peter in the final battle, without triggering his spider sense a single time. This is never explained in the movie, but this is because in the comics, the Venom symbiote doesn't trigger Peter's spider sense since it recognizes it as a friend, not a foe/danger. The novelization states Venom is somehow invisible to the spider-sense. | |

Bullying a Dragon: Harry does everything he can to goad Peter into a fight. It doesn't seem to occur to him that antagonizing someone with years more super-powered combat experience than he has might be a bad idea, the resulting brawl doesn't end well for him. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Upset with Peter kissing Gwen (as Spider-Man) and pushing her away to focus on Uncle Ben's murderer, Mary Jane goes to see amnesiac Harry, who still has feelings for her (and presumably no memory of their break-up). In the heat of the moment, the two briefly kiss. But immediately, Mary Jane realizes her mistake and leaves. Leaving Harry to seethe in anger from (once again) being spurned by her, which leads to him regaining his memory and being goaded by his hallucination of Norman to use her to destroy Peter. | |

Detachable Doorknob: Peter's already crummy studio apartment becomes even worse when his inside doorknob completely dislodges itself. Unlike most superhero examples, it wasn't even due to his powers; it just came loose with a simple turn. Naturally, this causes Pete and others headaches trying to enter and exit his apartment, and he eventually snipes at his landlord for not fixing it; though he was under the influence of the Venom symbiote by that point. | |

Saved by the Church Bell | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_8510bb62 | comment |
Saved by the Church Bell: The movie adapts Peter's removal of the symbiote from Web of Spider-Man #1 with extra focus on the religious context. The scene comes immediately after Peter reaches his moral low point by hitting Mary-Jane and begins with him standing atop a church, with a Crucial Cross in frame, as church bells call him to the bell tower. As the ringing increases, he rips the symbiote off bit by bit as he turns his back on the selfishness he indulged throughout the movie. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Peter finally understood that Uncle Ben's murder was a genuine accident (as neither Marko nor Carradine had any intention of killing him in the first place), but one can't help but wonder whether Aunt May will learn the truth as well. The symbiote sample Dr. Connors had been studying is only seen for a few scenes and is not seen again, leading the viewer to interpret its fate - it either might have died off without a host, got destroyed by Connors or lived on. | |

Didn't Think This Through: Eddie faked the picture of Spider-Man robbing the bank to get the photographer staff job at the Daily Bugle, but seemingly didn't plan for what could happen if the picture was revealed to be a fake and he was found out. It also didn't occur to Eddie that as Peter is the only other person in New York who photographs Spider-Man, the photo he faked was originally Peter's, so of course Peter would recognize the photo as being one of his own. When Peter found out and exposed the truth, Eddie quietly tells Peter that no paper in the city would hire him again if they knew what he did. Peter simply tells him he "should have thought of that earlier". | |

Rule of Symbolism | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_916c72b3 | comment |
The last scene is perfectly symbolic for the imperfect life a superhero leads. Peter walks into the club Mary Jane is singing at, and Mary Jane then stops singing, ironically at the line "care for no one", the moment she spots Peter, the person she cares about the most. When she stops singing to step down and dance with him, that is her choosing to sacrifice her dream to sing on Broadway in order to be with Peter through his life as a superhero. Mary Jane doesn’t have her career on Broadway but she has Peter. Peter doesn’t get to have a normal life, but he has Mary Jane. The sacrifices they have to make are unfair, but nothing is as miserable as not having the love of their life with them. Peter has lost a lot throughout these films, but this ending where he reconciles with Mary Jane shows that they're willing to stick it out together forever, just them against the world. The ending still tells us there is not a single force that can tear these two apart, as their story finally ends. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The symbiote attaches itself to the rear license plate of Peter's moped after it lands in Central Park. The shape of the symbiote at this point is a V shape. This foreshadows Venom as the symbiote later bonds to Eddie Brock and he becomes Venom, who Peter has to defeat in the climax. Emma's line to Flint in their sole scene together, "You maybe even killed a man?", and Flint's response, "It wasn't like that. It wasn't.", set up how Flint is revealed later to be the real killer of Uncle Ben, but it was a tragic accident and Flint never meant to kill him. In their earlier chase/battle, when Peter throws one of Harry's bombs back at him, he's not trying to hit Harry, but merely wants to distract him long enough to knock Harry off his glider and get away. Their fight later on in the movie ends with Peter doing the same thing, and thanks to the symbiote Peter's wearing, he's nowhere near as nice about it. Early in the film, an amnesiac Harry says he would give his life for his friends Peter and Mary Jane. Guess how he ends up dying. When the symbiote first bonds to Peter, its shadow takes the form of a bestial head with a fanged mouth and then a clawed hand. Eddie Brock coming across black-suited Spider-Man at the bank heist. Spider-Man smashes his camera, forcing Eddie to use his other camera. One of the pictures Eddie takes is used to make his fake picture during said bank heist to try and expose black Spider-Man as a criminal. At the beginning, MJ tells Peter that she dreams of singing in the stage with him in the front row. The final shot of the trilogy is MJ singing in the lounge while Peter approaches her and then they hug. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: When Harry attacks Peter with Razor Bats in their first battle, Peter cringes, remembering his first encounter with them. Peter's final battle with the Green Goblin also got a Call-Back in his second and final fight against Harry: At the start of his battle with the Goblin, Peter took a Pumpkin Bomb point-blank to the face. In 3, after completely mopping the floor with Harry, Harry attempts to nail Peter from behind with a Pumpkin Bomb in a last ditch effort to kill him. Peter causally dodges it, and sends it flying back right into Harry's face as it explodes. Overlapping with Freeze-Frame Bonus, but when Eddie gets incinerated by the pumpkin bomb while in the symbiote, for a fraction of a second he can be seen being Stripped to the Bone — much like the Oscorp directors from the first movie. | |

You really get a sense of how angry he is when he raises his voice a second later: "You're fired!" Harry says this to Peter, when he begged for his help to save Mary Jane. Accentuated by him stepping into the light to reveal his disfigured face (which Peter had caused) before saying it. | |

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Played Straight with The Sandman's motivation of robbing banks to pay for his daughter's hospital bills. Considering his embodiment of sand, he could create an islandnote The guys who built the World Archipelago earned at least $14 billion or just supply sand for construction, which would earn him far more money legally than robbing banks could. If building is boring and he wants to hurt people instead, he could threaten war onto America in exchange for money and family health care. Or he could even join the military (benefits include your family getting free health care)! Heck, this was still the height of The War on Terror, Sandman would be unstoppable in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan. Then again, Sandman was never one of Spidey's more intelligent foes. | |

MJ delivers a significant one shortly after, when Peter shoves her to the ground while she's trying to break up a scuffle between him and the restaurant's bouncers. It finally gets him to see what the symbiote suit is doing to him. | |

| Spider-Man 3 / int_a55ab01e | comment |
Peter under the influence of the symbiote lashes out at anyone he feels has wronged him in some way or the other. While his actions against Harry and Eddie could be justified, he takes it too far with Mary Jane by showing up at her workplace on a date with Gwen as revenge for her breaking up with him (also taking Harry's word for what happened without getting MJ's side of the story). After this fails and Peter knocks MJ down when she tries to break up a fight he starts, he finally realizes what he's become. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Venom/Eddie Brock does this when he bonds with the symbiote and gains all of Spider-Man's powers. You'd think he'll catch Peter unaware, or at least if he wanted an ally he'd go to Harry who still hates Spider-Man for supposedly killing his father. But no, instead he asks Sandman/Flint Marko and kidnaps Mary Jane, leading to Peter's Big Damn Heroes moment and Harry's Heel–Face Turn, resulting in Brock's demise. | |

Oh, Crap!: Peter at the end of his first fight with Harry after he knocks Harry out. He has another one when he realises Harry isn't breathing. Spidey gets one after he puts his fist through Flint's stomach. He can't pull it out again, prompting an "Uh-oh" from him. Flint promptly knocks him flying. Flint himself gets one during the subway fight after seeing his arm having turned to damp sand. Peter gets a brief one during his second fight with Harry when he realises Harry has stabbed him. As does Harry when Peter throws his own grenade back at him shortly afterward. Eddie gets one when Peter finds out that his picture of Spider-Man during the bank heist is a fake. Peter during the climax when he realizes Venom is Eddie. | |

Informed Flaw | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_af2547c9 | comment |
Informed Flaw: Mary Jane's singing. Kirsten Dunst is a good singer and delivers a lovely performance in the movie whenever she sings but her character is critically panned in-universe for her Broadway performance. In part justified because we're sitting in the front row with Peter, who's meant to be oblivious to MJ's professional problems and one of the reviews remarked that "her voice hardly carries past the first row." The novelization seems to support the critics, as Peter wonders if the theater's sound system is making MJ’s voice sound reedy and thin, and isn't convinced by his acoustics explanation for the lukewarm applause she garners. However, it's implied MJ is improving through her singing at the jazz bar, where she starts to get better reviews by the end. | |

He still retains the giant wraparound spider Chest Insignia. | |

Re-Cut | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_c3ae004a | comment |
Re-Cut: A slightly alternate cut of the film, called Spider-Man 3: Editor's Cut, was released in June of 2017, on a bonus disc for a Blu-ray collection of the trilogy. The cut (which, as its title would suggest, was supervised by the film's editor, Bob Murawski) omits certain scenes note most notably the scene where Bernard tells Harry the truth about Norman, and the scene where Aunt May encourages Peter to set things right with Mary Jane while adding in some new ones that were deleted from the theatrical cut, including one scene that had been long-requested by fans, where Flint disguises himself as a sandcastle to watch over Penny in a park. In addition to the scene removals/additions, the cut also rearranges the order of a few scenes note In this cut, Peter exposes Eddie's forged photograph before his fight with Harry and restores many of Christopher Young's original compositions for the film (that were replaced with recycled music in the theatrical cut). The Editor's Cut of the film is 2 minutes shorter than the theatrical cut, a rather huge difference from the Spider-Man 2.1 cut of the second film, which added an extra 8 minutes onto the movie. | |

However, Peter later erroneously claims it's been two years since Ben's death, with the second film (which took place two years after the first) occurring during the anniversary of his death which was in 2004. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In the trailer, Sandman is given Godzilla's roar. Mary Jane Watson’s performance in Manhattan Memories has her singing “They Say It’s Wonderful� from Annie Get Your Gun. In the end at the jazz club, she sings “I'm Through With Love�, first sung by Marilyn Monroe. Connors compares the symbiote's chemistry to chondritic meteorites from the 70s. The novelization explains he is referring to the Jilin meteorite shower of 1976 when the single most largest known chondritic meteorite, at 1,770 kg, was found in China. In the novelization: Peter claims there are now three Billboard Top 100 songs about Spider-Man. Manhattan Memories has classic musical tunes like those by Cole Porter and the Gershwins. Peter compares MJ’s smiling performance to Helen of Troy's face. While falling through the air after being attacked by New Goblin, Peter experiences gravity "More by degrees, like with the coyote in those cartoons.� Harry likens his hallucinations of Norman to Hamlet, which is also a Call-Back to the previous film. When sneaking into his apartment, Flint Marko recalls how entire buildings of New Yorkers once failed to intervene when a young woman was murdered, referencing Kitty Genovese's deathnote Although it has since been confirmed the reporting was exaggerated. During his and Harry's skirmish in Chinatown, Peter remembers Woody Allen's quote "I’m astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it’s hard enough to find your way around Chinatown." The police liken the particle accelerator site to a James Bond film. Flint compares his new powers to Frankenstein's Monster. While taking photos of the crane disaster, Eddie references Nick Ut's famous photo of a naked Vietnamese girl fleeing her burning village during the Vietnam War. Eddie compares Gwen’s expression when screaming to the iconic Munch painting, The Scream. Eddie tries flirting with Betty Brant using the lyrics of "Betty My Love" and "The Name Game". At the Osborn townhouse, Peter feels as if Norman’s gaze is following him around the room, referencing The Mona Lisa. After being fired, Mary Jane bitterly says, “Home is other people.� A passerby replies that “Hell is other people�, according to Jean-Paul Sartre. In their first encounter, Sandman compares Spider-Man’s demeanor to Bugs Bunny. When pondering the symbiote’s origin, Peter remembers Sherlock Holmes' Character Catchphrase: "Whenever you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains—however improbable—must be the truth.� Peter struts like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. He also tries to channel Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry at the Jazz Room. MJ’s deduction on the black Spider-Man suit controlling Peter is likened to Hercule Poirot. As Peter leaves the club, the other patrons part "like the Red Sea before Moses". Before the church scene, the narration mentions Voltaire’s philosophy that “God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.� | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Harry's hallucination of Norman. He repeats lines from the first film that Harry has no way of having heard, implying that it is indeed Norman's ghost (or even the Goblin personality wearing Norman's face) pushing his son to destroy Peter. | |

Punch! Punch! Punch! Uh Oh...: In his first encounter with Sandman, Spider-Man tries to punch him only to have his hand stuck in Sandman's gut and says "uh oh" before Sandman delivers a Megaton Punch. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Gwen gives this to Peter in the jazz bar scene, when she realizes he's only romancing her to humiliate Mary Jane. She even apologizes to MJ before storming off. MJ delivers a significant one shortly after, when Peter shoves her to the ground while she's trying to break up a scuffle between him and the restaurant's bouncers. It finally gets him to see what the symbiote suit is doing to him. Eddie Brock actually calls out "What the hell?!" when symbiote Spider-Man breaks his camera. He improvises: he takes out his digital camera and snapping some quick photos of the carnage as the police arrive, then downloads images to his computer, takes one of Peter's Bugle images of Spider-Man in Times Square, Photoshops Spider-Man into one of Brock's own images, and recolors him black. This comes back to bite him when Peter exposes him, forcing J. Jonah Jameson to fire him. | |

Temporarily a Villain | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_d82784fb | comment |
Temporarily a Villain: While he doesn't quite become a full-blown villain so to speak, Peter shows a semi-evil side when the symbiote he has on his suit results in a major increase in vengefulness and aggressiveness. He doesn't switch sides; he's fighting against the same enemies as he was immediately before; but the symbiote's influence has him doing things he severely regrets and that the series portrays as very clearly wrong. Harry tries to murder Peter in the opening act before succumbing to Easy Amnesia and turning good again; he recovers but downgrades his villainy from "try to kill Peter Parker" to "ruin his relationship with Mary-Jane"; later, when he and Symbiote-Peter clash, it's more a battle of two Jerkasses rather than a fight between a hero and a villain. In the finale, Harry ultimately becomes an Anti-Hero. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Zig-Zagged. Once Peter embraces the power and personality changes the symbiote brings, Peter acts more like a bad boy and clearly thinks that he's God's gift to women, but the various looks of exasperation and even disgust he gets from most of the women he encounters tell a very different story—probably because, contrary to expectations, he's still a clueless geek, only now that he's "evil" he's an obnoxious and arrogant one with only a superficial understanding of what people would perceive as cool. However he is shown to have success with charming some women, but only because they were previously attracted to his normal good personality, with the symbiote simply giving him the confidence to act on that attraction to ask Gwen out and get the attention of Ursula and Betty. | |

Contrived Coincidence: All Raimi movies — and most movies in this genre in general, for that matter — have this problem, but this one takes the cake: Flint Marko just happens to fall into a scientific experiment that turns him into the Sandman; Harry Osborn just happens to get amnesia and forget that Peter is Spider-Man and that his Dad was the Green Goblin, and the symbiote just happens to land next to Peter Parker and attach itself to his suit. And all of this happens on exactly the same night. Not to mention, Eddie Brock just happens to be praying for Peter Parker's death at the exact same time that Spider-Man is struggling against the symbiote on top of the same church, which ends with Eddie receiving the symbiote and becoming Venom. | |

Eddie Brock. Peter exposed Eddie's fraud against Spider-Man (which in itself was the result of Peter in the Venom Suit wrecking a camera that contained a legitimate picture of Venom Suit Spider-Man). Eddie's response? To go into a church and pray to God for Him to kill Peter. Then he got the Venom suit… Guess God doesn't like Spider-Man either. Which explains a lot, to be honest. | |

Four Lines, All Waiting | |
| Spider-Man 3 / int_e8dcd1c0 | comment |
Four Lines, All Waiting: One of the more common complaints about the movie was the fact that the presence of three major villains, each of whom has their own plot, as well as the romance plot, left the movie rather crowded. Keep in mind that, in both comics and cartoons, Spider-Man fights multiple villains all the time with little narrative clutter — the problem was how the villains were handled, not the fact that there was three of them (other films, like Batman Begins or The Dark Knight, had even more villains, but were still successes). | |
