...that we associate with young lovers. Ocean's Thirteen is essentially the story of what guys will do to avenge the frilly-shirt-wearing Vegas moneyman they adore. (One of them writes him love letters!) Spider-Man 3 is as much about Peter Parker and erstwhile best friend Harry Osborn getting back together as it is about Peter and Mary Jane. In Knocked Up, the courtship that's most fun to watch is that between the two potential brothers...
...friend of AICN critic Moriarty, tosses Spidey 3 into the sar-chasm by informing us that "There's only about 25 minutes of actual Spidey footage in this movie - which makes all kinds of room for: That darling Mary Jane singing (two songs!). Peter Parker crying. Harry [Osborn] crying.... The Sandman crying. Eddie Brock crying. Mary Jane crying. Aunt May crying....

As a whole, the execution works. The plot doesn’t seem muddled by the two love interests and three villains, and visually, the film really rocks you hard. Every punch comes closer...

He's been ready for his bad-guy close-up for five years now, so, as he says, "it wasn't like I had to practice a villainous cackle or anything like that." This time, Peter has a triple-gänger: as he recognizes and fights his own weakness for celebrity, he's up against Harry, who must avenge his father's death by killing Peter-Spider. "It's two superhumans battling it out," Franco says...
