Spider-Man 3 – Sandman transformation
- Year: 2007
- Directed by Sam Raimi
- Rotten Tomatoes score: 63%
- Metacritic score: 59
Fifteen years have passed (how time flies!) since the final entry int the Spider-Man trilogy directed by Sam Raimi, and five other productions focusing on Peter Parker and his extraordinary abilities have already been released since then. And although we remember Raimi's works warmly, with a hint of a certain sentiment, we must say that not all of them aged well.
Spider-Man 3 suffered from quantity over quality in terms of screenplay and events. There were as many as three villains (if we include the character performed by James Franco), and in addition, we have a quite bizarre theme of Peter Parker's personality transformation (which went down in the history of the Internet as "Bully Maguire" due to quite hilarious facial expressions of Tobey Maguire.
However, there's a scene in this movie that's still impressive today. It's about the moment when Flint Marko (Thomas Haden Church), while escaping from the police, falls into a machine called a particle accelerator. Marko becomes, completely accidentally, part of an experiment of a group of scientists researching sand, as a result of which his body fuses with the material. So we get a magical scene of the emergence of the sand creature that becomes a version of the villain. Since then, Marko has been the Sandman. The whole thing is both terrifying and delightful in its own way.
