A BRIEF RUNDOWN: Main titles begin, same flipping marvel logo, same brilliant Elfman theme (this time composed by Chris Young, but more on that later). No Alex Ross paintings, but there is some great CGI which focuses a lot on black webs, which is a hint at things to come, the composition of the titles is similar to that of the first movie, as opposed to the second. So at this point the film has just begun and already I feel like I’m visiting an old and treasured friend for the first time in 3 years.
I can’t really describe how ecstatic I was at this point. The first shot of the movie is footage from spider-man’s final swing in Spider-Man 2, at least I’m pretty sure it was, we here a voice over from Peter, more of the same, but this time he notes how things are finally going his way, and the camera zooms out and we see Peter and a group of kids watching the clip of Spidey swinging on a big screen suspended over the streets of New York.
The first 20 minutes is basically that, just the viewer watching Peter, and its so odd to see things going right for him, it’s a good feeling, but thankfully it doesn’t last. We are introduced to Sandman early on, and ironically he’s the biggest surprise in the movie, he is being played off as the typical thug who kills in the movies promotion but he is very similar to Doc Ock actually, he’s a family man who I believe is a good man at heart, and he has a great scene with Cliff Robertson, his character teaches Peter that the past is the past, and if he really is going to be a hero, he has to be able to forgive someone who has done a wrong, and that revenge will do nothing but make things more painful.

'Spider-Man 3' Advances RP Opening Day to May 1, Three Days Ahead of U.S.
from : http://www.clickthecity.com/movies_article.asp?p=1591Columbia Pictures' “Spider-Man 3” will swing to Philippine theaters on May 1, Labor Day -- three days earlier than the film’s May 4 opening in the U.S., this according to Victor R. Cabrera, general manager of Columbia Pictures Philippines.
This means Filipino moviegoers will be the first in the world (along with Japan and a few other Asian countries) to witness Spidey’s latest, exhilarating adventures. Considered as the motion picture event of 2007, “Spider-Man 3” will have the widest rollout in Philippine history, to be shown simultaneously across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
Reuniting the original cast led by Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco, ”Spider-Man 3” is directed by Sam Raimi, who also helmed the first two blockbuster installments of the Marvel Comics superhero, “Spider-Man” and “Spider-Man 2.” To date, the "Spider-Man" series has surpassed $1.6 billion in worldwide box office receipts.
Joining the ensemble cast of the third installment are Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace, Bryce Dallas Howard, James Cromwell and Theresa Russell.
A complex web of secrets, vengeance, love and forgiveness, “Spider-Man 3” is a riveting adventure that will transport worldwide audiences to thrilling new heights. In the film, Peter Parker (Maguire) has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. (Dunst) and his duties as a superhero. But there is a storm brewing on the horizon. As Spider-Man basks in the public's adulation for his accomplishments and he is pursued by Gwen Stacy (Howard), who rivals M.J. for his affections, Peter becomes overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care about him most. His newfound self-assuredness is jeopardized when he faces the battle of his life against two of the most feared villains ever (Church, Grace), whose unparalleled power and thirst for retribution threaten Peter and everyone he loves.
“Spider-Man 3” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
