[@johnwalker1058]

There is a LOT more build up though. Doctor Strange had his own movie before this, so we got to know who he is and his story. As for the other Spider men, the first one got a whole trilogy to build him up, the second got two movies, and the third will have his trilogy completed with this movie. The multiverse practically had around twenty movies building it up with the whole Infinity Saga of the MCU, especially culminating with the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy towards the end of that saga. Finally, the six villains each are pulled from the previous Spiderman movies that built up the previous Spider men. So there is far more background provided and context given to explain each bit of what is going on and for fans to appreciate them accordingly. It's like how someone would not have been able to appreciate Infinity War or Endgame nearly as much if they did not watch the other movies of the Infinity Saga and just jumped straight into it. They would not know the characters or understand the deeper nature behind the conflict unfolding before them or its significance. - - - TL;DR - My point is basically this: You can have a lot going on in a story and have it be good quality as long as you provide enough preparation for each aspect of what will go on later. You can have a lot of different things going on as long as you adequately build up each one properly rather than just throwing them all together last minute.

Bit of a correction: In the comics, the symbiote had nothing to do with being brought back by Jameson's son. It actually emerged from a machine in Battleworld during Secret Wars. Additionally, it never actually corrupted his personality either. The ideas of the symbiote being brought back on a space shuttle and corrupting Peter are both entirely the result of the 90s animated series.

@@johnnyskinwalker4095 Bro, no offense, but no one cares. Potato potaato. The symbiote is an alien, therefore Venom is half alien. No one ever assumed Eddy nor Peter was alien also. That's really dumb to say. Again, no offense. Don't argue with me for no reason.

Spider-Man 3 will forever be known as the trend setter for this modern era of studio interference with Marvel Studios and DC

[@northwindkey]

Actually it was set long before that with Superman II.

[@Lanosrep]

​@@northwindkey There were the odd ones like Superman 2 etc, but Spider-Man 3 onwards, most films from Marvel Studios, Sony, Fox, and DC were rife with studio interference

[@pokemongamer7992]

I'm SO GLAD the studio/producer interfered. I got to see the most awesome Venom design ever. Also, watch/read the Spider-Man 3 Venom review on my channel.

I just have to say I love your fiancee's reactions because they ( at lest to me ) feel real. There are many female reactors out there that are so annoying by constantly asking questions, complaining, crying, or cringing at the drop of a hat over everything. Her reactions seem pure. Bravo!

[@matsvassli1614]

seeing how Jen has "fallen in love" with all these movies, especially the mcu franchise, is honestly pretty touching (yes, might be sentimental). As someone who have watched these movies pretty much all my life, its amazing to see someone experience them for the first time..... On another note: cause Jen says in the 2 first Harry Potter movies that she wants those movies to be abit darker, I think she will absolutely love the Prisoner of Azkaban. Its my favoreite Harry Potter movie, partially to how dark atmospheric it was and how different that felt to the previous once. Cant wait to have Jen see that one.

[@dobber43]

I like the sandman flashbacks with Ben cause you get to see that Peter already blame himself for Ben and Ben's killer dying just to find out the wrong person died, and you see flint didn't want to kill anybody he wanted to save his daughter but Ben's death eats at him.

[@thehitman6963]

This movie is extremely underrated I know most people will disagree but Spiderman 3 is my favourite from the trilogy. I really felt and understood how venom impacted Peter. And brought out his bad side.

I enjoyed it when I was a little kid, but as I got older I just started hating this movie.

[@leonardolonghi3472]

Jen: "Feel like they should have more security than that." Hulk's comics' birthplace: "Yeah, agreed."

[@Kilo-gc1kd]

I dream of what the movie would've been like where the villain was just Sandman and his fight to keep his daughter alive. Maybe Peter finds out about his daughter at some point in the movie and is conflicted about stopping a man who is trying to save his daughters life. Be a cool root for both the villain and superhero movie. I still adore this movie though, even with all it's flaws I still find immense enjoyment from it.

[@SEliteGuitarist99]

I think the Black suit story was fine, we just didn't need the resolution of being Venom in it. I think if they dedicated the final 30 minutes to Harry and Sandman then have the Bell Tower scene be the last scene it wouldve been amazing

[@troytheobtuse6769]

37:10 HOLY SHIT. Jen has to read Spider's Shadow. It's a What If series (the first of many more to come) in the comics (i.e. Earth 616, so you'll see people like Mr Fantastic and Capn' America) and it basically explores what would've happened if Peter kept the symbiote on for longer, and in the original comics the Symbiote Saga unfolds pretty much the same way it's presented here (except it's origin) so you'll know where the dramatic changes are. The story does come back to a responsible Peter trying to repair the damage he's done with the Symbiote but in the end it does shake up the Spidey status quo in a very interesting way. A solid read if you're looking for one.

[@EddieUsername]

30:23 shoutout to Sam Raimi's daughter btw. One of my favourite little jokes in the whole trilogy honestly.

[@HoodedMushroom]

No matter what anyone says about the movie, the Sandman scene is fucking epic, best villain "birth" in comic movies imo, so well done.

[@CrossOutBryce]

Watching this made me realize that I still really enjoy this movie, despite it's flaws, although realizing 30:51 BROKE ME, HOLDEN.

[@Wysch]

Watching these reactions of Jen, I keep realizing what a bunch of nerds we are. I mean, I am not American and I grew without the whole comic pop culture, but I got into it in early 2000's and as I said, I feel like a total nerd when watching these reactions. And it honestly makes me feel good, knowing that there are people my age somewhere around the world, who geek out in the comments the same way I do when watching the reactions.

[@harrisonrosemont]

anyone notice that jens gotten wayyy better at analyzing movies. she brings up so many good points that i didn’t notice

Although I do agree that this movie has too much going on, I grew up loving this movie and just loving Spidey in general so it disappoints me when people hate on this movie or just hate on Spidey movies in general.

I really like this film a lot and saw these movies growing up so these 3 movies mean a lot to me. I can accept the faults and flaws in Spider-Man 3 but I like it alot even with the "too many villains"... also Harry's death is beautifully shot and the musical score is very impactful. Also the theme of forgiveness really hits me personally through my life. Sorry to ramble on but I always feel like I have to defend this movie lol. Great movie imo. Great reaction as always!

[@mrborigard]

Honestly ur spot on, this movie has impacted my life the most, everything from the score, the quotes, and Harry’s death just make it perfect to me, I was genuinely shocked to find out people didn’t like it

[@corporealghoul]

I love the concept that Peter could have at any moment killed Harry. I'd hope most know by now but for those that dont... Spiders IRL can lift 170 times their own body weight. If you directly convert that to Peter's weight he would be able to lift roughly 12.5 tons. However, the spider's in the exhibit we saw were gametically altered to do what spiders do but much better. They took the jumping spider and now it can jump 5x as far as normal. They took the spider that spins the biggest webs and upped its ability to create webbing. And they took the strongest spider and made it stronger. So Peter can lift much more than 170 times his own weight. In the comics one number thrown around is he can lift 100tons. This means Peter is always holding back when fighting. He could literally punch Harry's head off... no no... he could slap Harry so hard his head would spin like the exorcist. So when they are fighting in Harry's place Peter could have at any moment killed Harry. When he shoved him through the window and out onto the balcony he could have shoved Harry straight through the window, clear over the balcony rail, and likely through the wall of whatever building sits across the street from harry's place.

23:30 both the serum that green goblin and Spider-Man have is basically base on the super soldier serum that oscorp was trying to replicate in different forms. Use that in insects to see new traits, one bit Peter and he is that. The other Instead of liquid formula it’s gas base to quickly take effect but side effect is the person mind becomes twisted. Also the Bruce banner also tried to replicate the formula with infusing gamma radiation to it which in the end lead into the hulk being made. You be surprised how many super powered heroes in marvel origins is tied to steve Rogers and being injected with the formula.

[@trayolphia5756]

28:55 sigh…and thus was when the slope down in American culture where people got too easily confused between “cause” and “catalyst” Peter didn’t cost you your job, girl, career etc…he was simply the catalyst which brought YOUR OWN actions to light, and the repercussions that came with those choices and actions YOU took… What’s truly sad is that in the modern day…if you so much as hint at such notions and concepts, that anyone who blames another for the things that went wrong in their life, that maybe that person should look at it from that perspective…they treat you as if you just praised h1tler or something…sigh

I've thought about Bernard not telling Harry the truth until waaaaay later than he should have for a while, now, and this is the best explanation that I can think of: Norman's final wishes were for Harry never to find out that he was the Goblin. He tells Peter this just before he dies, so I wouldn't at all be surprised if Bernard found the same thing out through either Peter or Norman himself (Whether from a will or personal conversation). In order for Harry to understand that Spider-Man wasn't the one to kill his father, he'd have to know that he was Green Goblin. Throughout almost all of Spider-Man 2, Harry doesn't know the truth about Norman being Goblin, so Bernard would have no reason to tell him. The thing is, up until seeing all of the damage to the rooms from his fight with Peter in Spider-Man 3, Bernard still probably doesn't think that Harry knows the truth about his father. In fact, in this movie he even had amnesia! Harry pretends that he still has it all the way up until nearly the end of the movie. It's never spelled out obviously, but that's what I tell myself every time I watch Spidey 3 so it'll stop bothering me. lol

[@Emeraldnite-if7vo]

@holden--I was confused about your Venom origin until I realized you were referring to the animated series! The original comic book origin is Spider-Man got the symbiote as a costume during "Secret Wars" not knowing it was alive, then when he learned it was trying to take him over he did the same thing in the movie and used the snoics of the church bell to get it off him.
