My Comments: This movie may be equally as good as Spiderman 2, which is a masterpiece. This movie has excellent action, a complex & well written story, good character development, and fine examples of biblical virtue. In the first part of the film, Peter Parker has finally created a balance between his personal life and his Spider-Man responsibilities. He enjoys public recognition for his heroism, and he‘s pursued by a new girl. But then Peter is engulfed in a black alien substance with an influence over him that makes him aggressive and self-serving. He starts to go down a road of destruction, both personally, and as a dark-suited superhero.  He faces major battles with three villains in this film, which weaves into big adventures. There is a strong message of values, such as forgiveness, self-sacrifice, and doing what is right. This is an outstanding film.  ENJOYMENT RATING: 4.5 stars.

Dove approved 12+.

My Comments: This is a beautifully crafted action film. It is so much better than its predecessor. Although for much of the film, it is a bit sad to see how life is not going well for Peter Parker or even Spiderman, the flick has a kind of literary quality, with complex characters and story line. The plot is deep and meaningful. A good deal of integrity is portrayed. The action scenes are excellent and not too violent. The characters let out their hearts and souls. This whole film really works .ENJOYMENT RATING: I give it 4.5 stars.
Dove Review: This film has it all-a terrific story, stellar performances from the cast, great special effects and music.

Tobey Maguire is fabulous as the dynamic hero Spider-Man and Peter Parker. He realistically deals with many concerns and he has a lot to juggle. This includes explaining to his girlfriend Mary Jane why he is often late or absent, and why he can’t make an eight o’ clock curtain to see her act in a play. His spent energy in capturing criminals and preventing crime is full-time work…

The film, despite being a comic book, superhero movie, manages to be dramatic. Yet there are plenty of jaw dropping scenes, including the runaway subway scene, which may just be the best superhero action sequence ever filmed. Some humor is appropriately added into the mix too. The content issues are minor … and we heartily award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this picture.

Dove Review: Ehrenreich proves that he’s worthy of the role (of following in Harrison Ford’s footsteps) and rises handsomely to the occasion. Dove seeks to make it clear that a lot of thought has gone into the following decision. Though there are a few moments of content which might make you shift in your seat, Dove has decided to Approve Solo with the 12+ seal in hopes that the following nuanced caveats will be taken into consideration…
