Who Directed it: Sam Raimi (A Simple Plan, The Quick and the Dead, Army of Darkness, Darkman, Evil Dead II, The Evil Dea, ...oh yeah, and the other spider movies)

Plot: Can't tell ya much about the plot without giving it away. However, I will tell you this: this third movie wraps up all the plot elements from the first two. So, if you've been watching them you know what I'm talking about.

Moral teaching: You can chose who you want to be, good or bad, either way, it's your choice. The black oil goop, crawly thing is very much an allegory to sin, and the characters in the movie who get attacked by it and made to feel good by doing bad, have a choice weather or not to continue.

Content: Eh, a smooch or two, some vicious spidey dancing, a bit of cleavage (sure to set off your spidey senses,... ahem). Also, lots of comic book style fighting and action, some blood, I wouldn't say it has gore at all, but some good punches and guys heads hitting brick walls, etc... fun stuff.

Rollerskates: I'm gonna say that this movie is....good. Better than the second, I don't think it's better than the first, but it IS good. Some quite cheesy parts in it, I thought they could have not have made Parker so nerdy at the beginning. The visual effects were AMAZING. When The Sandman was becoming...the Sandman, I was like "holy freekin' cow! This is like, beautiful, it's like a piece of art!" 4 Rollerskates out of 5, and 2 out of 5 for content.
