C- | "If anything, Spider-Man 3 is another rude awakening as to just how important character development, especially in regards to its villains, and pacing is." |
| FromTheBalcony |
| Bill Clark |
3/5 | "Spider-Man 3 is an 'almost' success...it 'almost' has us convinced that this trilogy will transcend its blockbuster necessities to mean something more - either as art, precedent, or simply a great way to spend some time at the Cineplex." |
| PopMatters |
| Bill Gibron |
B | "This is, for all intents and purposes, a fine movie that will do a very efficient job entertaining the pants off audiences. The creak, however, cannot be denied." |
| OhmyNews.com |
| Brian Orndorf |
C+ | "Gone is the bright tempo and unbridled enthusiasm of the first two movies that seemed to offer limitless possibilities for the genre." |

| Cole Smithey |
| "The point of Spider-Man 3, underscored by all the posters, trailers, and buzz, is black Spidey." |
| PopMatters |
| Cynthia Fuchs |
2/5 | "Spider-Man 3 is three, maybe four movies clumsily crammed into one." |
| eFilmCritic.com |
| David Cornelius |
C | "Dunst sings, Maguire stagnates, the script sags, and goo from outer space takes center stage. Here's what else is wrong with 'Spiderman 3.'" |
| EDGE Boston |
| David Foucher |
3/4 | "It seems likely that few viewers will walk away from the movie flat-out disappointed." |
| Reel Film Reviews |
| David Nusair |
C- | "There's much too much goo over our hero's moral decline and sudden redemption." |
| Ozus' World Movie Reviews |
| Dennis Schwartz |
4/10 | "Sudeci po tome koliko je ovaj Spiderman potrosen, bilo bi bolje da se snimi remake." |
| Index.hr |
| Dragan Antulov |
3.5/4 | "As is a rule with most sequels, Spider-Man 3 is bigger and vaster in scope than its predecessors. Where it bucks the trend is in its decided superiority over them." |

2/4 | "Is this Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 or Aaron Spelling's?" |
| Slant Magazine |
| Ed Gonzalez |
D+ | "It's schizophrenic pacing and apathy towards its audience's acceptance means the film never needs to be seen more than once, if that." |
| FilmJerk.com |
| Edward Havens |
B- | "Despite its many flaws, I still essentially enjoyed the film, if not nearly as much as the previous ones." |
| EricDSnider.com |
| Eric D. Snider |
2/4 | "Raimi and his collaborators have fallen into the same traps that have ensnared both the Batman and X-Men franchises. Too much often resulting in not enough." |
| eFilmCritic.com |
| Erik Childress |
B | "For all its problems and miscalculations, the film is fascinating and gutsy in its sheer strangeness." |
| Film Blather |
| Eugene Novikov |
1.5/4 | "This third film is awful, it’s sloppy, and it’s mishandled in every aspect..." |
| Cinema Crazed |
| Felix Vasquez Jr. |
| "Another third installment, another arrested adolescent gone wild" |
| CinePassion |
| Fernando F. Croce |
C | "Both overstuffed and undernourished...in the comics the Web-Slinger has occasionally lost his grip and come crashing to earth, and that's what happens here, too." |
| One Guy's Opinion |
| Frank Swietek |
3/5 | "A stirring morality play about the importance of choices in our lives, especially in regard to love, friendship, power, and forgiveness." |
| Spirituality and Practice |
| Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat |
B | "Despite all its violence, Spider-Man 3 is a call for peace." |
| Cinepinion |
| Henry Stewart |
2/4 | "One has to consider that the film's problems -- and they are numerous -- may be the product of the franchise's runaway popularity." |
| ReelViews |
| James Berardinelli |
3/4 | "despite narrative bloat, it maintains much of the giddy-enthralling energy and emotional pathos that made its predecessors the very definition of great popcorn moviegoing" |
| Q Network Film Desk |
| James Kendrick |
| "Proof that it pays keeping on the same creative team that made previous installments in your franchise a success." |
| Sci-Fi Movie Page |
| James O'Ehley |
1/4 | "... Watching Spider-Man 3, as my hopes took on the taste of ashes in my mouth, I felt the sad, gloomy pall that falls across any piece of entertainment when passionate innovation is replaced by profitable repetition." |
| Cinematical |

4/10 | "un produit plutôt fade qui essaie énormément sans trop savoir ce qu'il fait." |
| Panorama |
| Jean-François Vandeuren |
2.5/4 | "Despite an overwhelming sensation of been-there, done-that Tobey Maguire and company inject enough fresh material into Spider-Man's third outing to keep both fans and converts happy. Or happy enough." |
| Palo Alto Weekly |
| Jeanne Aufmuth |
8/10 | "Simply put, things are just too crowded in Spider-Man 3 ... [but] I still had a wonderful time with the movie because so many of the themes and elements are familiar." |
| ReelTalk Movie Reviews |
| Jeffrey Chen |
6/10 | "All told, the film is still moderately entertaining, although the individual parts are certainly greater than their sum as a whole." |
| Screen It! |
| Jim Judy |
6/10 | "Another fine installment in this very fun and exciting comic book superhero movie series." |
| JoBlo's Movie Emporium |
| JoBlo |
3/4 | "There are one too many teary redemptions, one too many airborne rescues and, finally, one too many climaxes. But we'll forgive Mr. Raimi his excesses." |
| Big Picture Big Sound |
| Joe Lozito |
5/10 | "Given the enormous $258,000,000 estimated budget for this movie, you'd think somebody would have given a moment's consideration to the script." |

| Joseph Proimakis |
2/5 | "Seventy-five minutes into it, I check my watch and groaned, realizing from the preview that we haven't even introduced all the story lines yet...sloppy, heart-rendingly annoying, with scenes of professional embarrassment" |
| rec.arts.movies.reviews |
| Karina Montgomery |
3.0/4.0 | "All the plot of a 6-issue comic book story arc cleanly edited into a 2-hour and 20-minute movie." |
| MovieCrypt.com |
| Kevin A. Ranson |
4/5 | "I was pretty impressed with how the script managed to juggle so many characters at once and actually make them relevant. Batman Forever this is not." |
| Film School Rejects |
| Kevin Carr |
4/4 | "Sure, it's a bit overstuffed and definitely over the top, but damn it if I didn't love every moment of it." |
| Montreal Film Journal |
| Kevin N. Laforest |
3/4 | "Spider-Man 3 is crammed with goodies." |
| TV Guide's Movie Guide |
| Maitland McDonagh |
4/4 | "If the first sequel was superhero movie as soap opera, this is it approaching opera." |
| Mark Reviews Movies |
| Mark Dujsik |
| "Spider-Man 2... was alive with humor and humanity and spirit and soul. All of that is missing here." |
| Flick Filosopher |
| MaryAnn Johanson |
3.5/4 | "The "Spidey vs. himself" theme feels fresh to me, and the movie subsequently avoids that "three-peat burnout" that affects many film series." |
| Aisle Seat |
| Mike McGranaghan |
B- | "Too many villains. Too many plots. And way too many tears. Boy, is there a lot of crying in this movie." |
| Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies |
| Nell Minow |
C | "A hollow shell of a saga devoid of both thrilling action and rousing passion." |
| Lessons of Darkness |
| Nick Schager |
3/5 | ""Don't shoot, fellas: it's the bass player from Fall Out Boy!"" |
| Film Threat |
| Pete Vonder Haar |
3/5 | "This third instalment feels surprisingly uneven, even as it keeps us utterly entertained for the lengthy running time." |
| Shadows on the Wall |
| Rich Cline |
4/5 | "It's been a fine if bumpy ride with Raimi down this corridor of Marvel Comics history, even if I'd love to see him working on something cheap and scrappily funny again." |
| eFilmCritic.com |
| Rob Gonsalves |
| "Spider-Man 3 is impressive even in light of the fact that its unwieldy ambition often does more harm than good." |
| Stranger Song |
| Rob Humanick |
B | "These people know what the hell they're doing, and after five years of practice, they're not about to drop the ball now." |
| Flipside Movie Emporium |
| Rob Vaux |
C+ | "Despite all its excesses, all the hangers-on and nepotism, it is also entertaining in its own overwrought way." |
