Spider-Man 3 - Synopsis
In Spider-Man 3, based on the legendary Marvel Comics series, Peter Parker has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. and his duties as a superhero. But there is a storm brewing on the horizon. As Spider-Man basks in the public's adulation for his accomplishments and he is pursued by Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard), who rivals M.J. for his affections, Peter becomes overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care about him most. His newfound self-assuredness is jeopardized when he faces the battle of his life against two of the most feared villains ever (Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace), whose unparalleled power and thirst for retribution threaten Peter and everyone he loves.
Spider-Man 3 - Note to Parents
Normally, the KidsTV/Movies website does not cover movies that are rated PG-13; however, a few PG-13 movies will be featured on the site due to the fact that they are marketed to kids and kids will want to see them. If kids are begging to see these movies, parents will need to know about them.
Spider-Man 3 is rated PG-13 for sequences of intense action violence. Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, the first two movies in the series, were both rated PG-13 for stylized action violence. So, watching either of the first two movies will give parents a good idea of what to expect from the third. Although, it is likely to be more intense and the violence looks to have a darker tone. Spider-Man 3 contains themes surrounding topics such as good vs. evil, Peter's inner battle with his darker self, revenge, and Peter's love for M.J.
