Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) enjoys his newfound confidence and exhibits a new spring in his step.
Your
friendly neighborhood web-slinger is back, only this time his sunny
outlook has become partially overcast in the third chapter of director
Sam Raimi's Spider-Man saga. Tobey Maguire, Kirsten
Dunst, and James Franco return to reprise their roles from the previous
two installments, with Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace, and Bryce
Dallas Howard making their first appearances in the series as Flint
Marko (aka Sandman), Eddie Brock (aka Venom), and Gwen Stacy,
respectively. Peter Parker (Maguire) has finally leaned to walk the
middle ground between being the superhero that his city needs and the
man that Mary Jane (Dunst) loves. All is well in New York City until one
night, as Peter and M.J. sit gazing at the stars, a falling comet
streams across the sky and crashes into the ground close by. But this
isn't any ordinary shooting star, and upon impact the mysterious space
rock is split open to reveal a shape-shifting symbiote with the power to
overtake anything that it comes into contact with. Later, as Harry
Osborn (James Franco) acquires his late father's flying board, engineers
a powerful new Goblin outfit, and takes to the sky to avenge dad's
death, the mysterious space sludge infects both Peter's Spider-Man suit
and ambitious street photographer Eddie Brock (Grace). Peter's strange
new suit gives him a newfound sense of power as it gradually overpowers
his personality, and he discovers that escaped convict Flint Marko was
in fact the man responsible for the death of Uncle Ben (Cliff
Robertson). Unfortunately for Peter, Marko has recently acquired the
power to morph at will and quickly completes his transformation into the
dreaded Sandman. As the Sandman gives in to his darkest criminal
instincts and the slithering space symbiote transforms Eddie Brock into
the nightmarish fanged villain known as Venom, the citizens of New York
City must once again call on Spider-Man to fend off destructive forces
that are far too powerful for the likes of mortal man.
