Your friendly neighborhood web-slinger is back, only this time his sunny outlook has become partially overcast in the third chapter of director
Sam Raimi's
Spider-Man saga.
Tobey Maguire,
Kirsten Dunst, and
James Franco return to reprise their roles from the previous two installments, with
Thomas Haden Church,
Topher Grace, and
Bryce Dallas Howard making their first appearances in the series as
Flint Marko (aka
Sandman),
Eddie Brock (aka
Venom), and
Gwen Stacy, respectively.
Peter Parker (
Maguire) has finally leaned to walk the middle ground between being the superhero that his city needs and the man that
Mary Jane (
Dunst) loves. All is well in New York City until one night, as
Peter and
M.J. sit gazing at the stars, a falling comet streams across the sky and crashes into the ground close by. But this isn't any ordinary shooting star, and upon impact the mysterious space rock is split open to reveal a shape-shifting symbiote with the power to overtake anything that it comes into contact with. Later, as
Harry Osborn (
James Franco) acquires his late father's flying board, engineers a powerful new
Goblin outfit, and takes to the sky to avenge dad's death, the mysterious space sludge infects both
Peter's
Spider-Man suit and ambitious street photographer
Eddie Brock (
Grace).
Peter's strange new suit gives him a newfound sense of power as it gradually overpowers his personality, and he discovers that escaped convict
Flint Marko was in fact the man responsible for the death of
Uncle Ben (
Cliff Robertson). Unfortunately for
Peter,
Marko has recently acquired the power to morph at will and quickly completes his transformation into the dreaded
Sandman. As the
Sandman gives in to his darkest criminal instincts and the slithering space symbiote transforms
Eddie Brock into the nightmarish fanged villain known as
Venom, the citizens of New York City must once again call on
Spider-Man to fend off destructive forces that are far too powerful for the likes of mortal man.

Spidey's Dark Side
Your favorite webhead goes bad as an alien symbiote causes his dark side to surface in the best of the series, as he battles three new supervillians:
The Sandman, Venom, and the New Goblin. You don't have to be a Spider-Man fan to enjoy this.
