Film Poster Analysis - Spider-Man 3
When I took a first glance at this poster for the film "Spider-Man 3", I knew immediately that it would look like a convincing theatrical piece, with an all star-cast featuring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco, it was a sign that like the previous 2 films in the trilogy, that this was sure to be a hit......but how and why?
The things that captivated me with this film are first off, the fact that it's a film about Spider-Man, who has always been a comic book hero of mine, and I knew instantly as soon as I saw the Black Costume on the poster that they'd be doing one of my favourite storylines concering an alien symbiote, which would start effecting Peter Parker (Spider-Man) massively....
The tagline, "The Greatest Battle Is Within" (Although it's in Italian here), seemed to catch my eye too, as I knew that it would show that the film wouldn't dissapoint.
Seeing as the film is one of great inner-conflict for all the characters, I did like the way that Spidey was mirrored in the glass to show that he would be struggling with his dark side, and becoming a very different character, while facing new and DANGEROUS Foes...
The way in which this mirroring effect has been done is to show how Spider-Man is struggling to keep one side of his persona more dominant than the other, and how the symbiote is succeeding, which could be why the red and blue Spidey is in the mirror.
Overall, this poster makes the film look incredibly promising, indeed like it's predecessors.
