Following one of the most celebrated superhero movies of all time, Tobey Maguire reunited with director Sam Raimi and actors Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, and J.K. Simmons for "Spider-Man 3" in 2007. The film sees Peter Parker still struggling to juggle a superhero life with his relationship with Mary Jane. But when he comes across an alien ooze that bonds to him, it doesn't just give him a new costume with incredible new powers, but twists him into an angrier, bitter superhero, endangering his life and his relationships.
At the same time, his best friend (Franco) transitions into an enemy after discovering that Peter is in fact Spider-Man, the man who killed his father. After Peter jettisons the black ooze suit, it turns snarky reporter Eddie Brock (Topher Grace) into the deadly villain Venom, just as fugitive criminal Flint Marko (Thomas Haden-Church) — the man who killed his uncle Ben — becomes the malevolent Sandman. Suddenly, Peter is forced to do battle with not one, but three new baddies.
Unfortunately, the villain overload didn't do any favors for an already overstuffed plot, and the result was a murky mess of a movie that proved a disappointing end to the trilogy of Maguire's "Spider-Man" films from Sam Raimi. Still, it's packed with top-notch action, and faithful interpretations of classic Spidey villains. Thankfully, nearly a decade and a half later, Maguire would have a chance to go out on a much higher note.
