First of all, I was surprised as I read the reviews for Spiderman 3. For years, it seemed to me as if everyone out there hated this movie. I was wrong, it has received high marks by many reviewers, and I'm glad to see that. Because the reality is while this film is not perfect, it is still a good one with excellent messages in it. I think there are some people (and I'm not thinking of any Amazon reviewers, per se) who are so bent out of shape about certain aspects of this flick, like the way the character of Venom turned out for instance, that they miss the very important elements that are clearly evident in it. That's why I have written this review, to highlight these clear messages, and to try to give viewers a new perspective on a movie that is sometimes unjustifiably maligned.

For example, the topic of forgiveness is a very key theme in this film. We all need forgiveness at one time or another and I don't think I ever remember seeing a Hollywood movie where forgiveness is so clearly presented to the viewer. I'm tempted to reveal spoilers here to reinforce my point, but I'll refrain. Suffice to say, this movie is worth viewing for no other reason than to see pure, undiluted forgiveness on display.

Secondly, there are so many positive quotes that are true and profound. For instance, at one point Peter says, "whatever comes our way, whatever battle we have raging inside us, we always have a choice. It's the choices that make us who we are, and we can always choose to do what's right." Aunt May gives also two incredible lines. At one point she tells Peter: "A man must be understanding and put his wife before himself." In another scene, she tells him, "Revenge is like a poison. It can take you over and before you know it, turn us into something ugly." These are quotes that you sound like they should be in a devotional book or a sermon, not a Hollywood movie.

Third, there's another clear message that comes screaming from the scenes of this movie nearly from beginning to end: romantic relationships are hard. Again, I don't want to reveal too much, but Peter and Mary Jane go through incredible challenges in this film. It makes me think about how some young people can sometimes idealize dating relationships. There are some singles, for example, that refuse to be happy until they get into a relationship. These people should be counseled that dating relationships can be very difficult, and Spiderman 3 can be used an illustration of this fact.

In short, I recommend this movie. There are great messages presented that we can use in our every day lives.
