Sex & Nudity

  • Gwen Stacy's cleavage is visible during a photo shoot.
  • In scenes from the first two films shown during the opening credits, we see Peter shirtless.
  • Mary Jane wears a backless dress during her musical number onstage.
  • We see Harry in just his boxers as he comes out of a treatment chamber.
  • Peter and Mary Jane do some passionate kissing while lying clothed on a huge web at night.
  • We see Harry shirtless while a defibrillator is used on him.
  • Spider-Man allows Gwen to kiss him while he hangs upside-down facing her (she pulls his mask down and plants a passionate kiss on him). Although there might be some tongue involved in the kiss, as Mary Jane gets jealous, it is cut.
  • Mary Jane and Harry briefly but passionately kiss, with both then apologizing for doing so.
  • Seeing his female assistant up close and personal with Peter in the office (both are clothed and are just flirting), Jameson yells out that's not the position he hired her for.
  • Thinking and feeling like he's a "bad boy" but still acting nerdy, Peter struts and partially dances down the street, doing some clothed pelvic thrusting along the way (to no one in particular).
  • To try to make Mary Jane jealous, Peter interrupts her number in a jazz club, does an impromptu dance, and then grabs Gwen for a dance, pulling her leg up alongside his body (while her dress shows some cleavage).
  • About Mary Jane, Venom tells Spider-Man that his spider sense is tingling, adding, "If you know what I'm talking about."

Violence & Gore

  • The action is intense, and combined with the film's somewhat dark tone, it feels violent but is still mostly fantastical and without much blood or major injury detail.
  • Two men fight: one stabs the other and we see blood on the blade, one is thrown on a table, one is thrown through a window, one is thrown into a balcony, and one into a wall (one ends up with a bloody mouth). Then he is tackled to a glass door, the man runs and grabs a green sword and swings it, he swings at a laptop causing a hoverboard to activate. A man raises someone's head so the hoverboard could collide with his face causing him to crash on a deck of glass.
  • During a fight Spider- Man is struck several times with a piece of metal, and the pointed end is raised over him to stab him but someone else is stabbed through the back with the hoverboard and we see it poke through his chest with blood on it (the victim dies).
  • A man is grabbed and held by someone: he is struck in the head and face and slashed with blades, and the attacker breaks a piece of a wall off and it falls to the ground with the other man clinging onto it, he then is grabbed and thrown around and the man holds his body and smashes it against a building then throws him through glass and shards fly in the moment
  • Spider-Man shoots webs and sails between buildings and alleyways while being chased by someone on a flying board who throws flying, bladed explosive devices at him; Spider-Man is slashed by one, the attacker is stabbed by one and caught in the blast when one explodes, and he is then clotheslined by a spider web, falls from his board, and crashes into walls and pipes before hitting the ground, unconscious.
  • Spider-Man and another man with similar superpowers fight, and Spider-Man is grabbed by a giant man made out of sand; the sand man places Spider-Man on a large beam and pummels him with a huge fist and Spider-Man goes limp.
  • In a flashback, a man take a man out of his car, throw him on the ground and shoot a man intentionally (we see the victim fall to the ground). We see a man from the first spider-man movie fall backward through a window and crash onto the ground below (he dies).
  • A pumpkin bomb is launched on sandman and explodes near the head of a man who's made out of sand, blowing part of his head and face off, but without permanent damage.
  • A crane operator on top of a tall building loses control of the crane, it begins to tip over the side of the building, the large beam it was lifting crashes through the side of a building where people are and nearly strikes several, then it crashes through the floor and two people slip, and one slides off and clings from a piece of exterior trim high over the street; she falls and is snatched up just before crashing into the ground.
  • Spider-Man struggles to remove a suit that has become attached to his body: he eventually manages to pull it off, and the black, slimy tendrils that made up the suit slither onto another man, who sprouts many very sharp teeth.
  • Black slimy tendrils creep onto a man as he sleeps, he twitches and wakes up as the tendrils cover his face take control of him and changing the color of his suit.
  • A man made out of sand chases an armored truck, the truck speeds out of control, crashes into a car, flips over, and the sand man and Spider-Man fight briefly, before the former goes away in a column of sand.
  • A man made of sand breaks himself into particles and disperses in a truck filled with sand and gravel; he emerges even larger, he throws a man into a car windshield, strikes several others and throws cars through the air.
  • Accompanying the opening credits are several scenes from the first two films that show the beginning of Spider-Man, a man's murder, and another man's death.
  • A woman in a taxi hangs high off the ground in a large web, the car begins to slip and fall, cinderblocks fall onto the car from a truck that is above it, and when the car does fall, the woman grabs onto the web and holds on she loses her grip and falls and Peter rescues her having to go through sandman
  • A man runs while being chased by police and dogs, he punches a dog (we hear it whimper and see it fall to the ground), he climbs a fence, and falls into a pit where a molecular experiment is being conducted that breaks him down into particles (we see him beginning to break away like a sand sculpture blowing in the wind).
  • A man punches several men in a nightclub and then strikes a woman knocking her to the floor. A man grabs a woman around the throat and shoves her against a wall.
  • A large glowing rock crashes to the ground near where a man and a woman are, and a slithering, tendriled form moves toward them. A man that has been de-molecularized reforms from sand and gravel to become whole again.
  • A man yells in several scenes and his secretary reminds him to remain calm because of his blood pressure.
  • A man is shown in the hospital, and medical personnel are trying to resuscitate him.
  • Peter confronts Harry who is injured and neutralized then insults him. Harry tries to attack him but Peter smacks him hard to the ground. Harry grabs a pumpkin bomb and throws it at him and Peter shoots a web at the bomb and swings it towards him causing it to explode leaving a permanent scarred face on Harry.
  • In a fight between Harry and Peter, Harry throws a bunch of flying snitches at peter causing minor scratches. Peter jumps on a wall and misleads the snitches to fly to harry leaving one of them stuck on his shoulder. Harry pulls it off. Peter then webs on a pumpkin bomb and throws it which explodes on him causing no damage.
  • Venom knocks Spider-Man aside and is about to pummel him when Mary Jane drops a cinder block onto his head from above. The two then continue their fight with various brutal blows and such, with Spider-Man landing quite hard.
  • Venom blasts Spider-Man back through a cab's windshield hard enough to tear off its top section. Venom then grabs Mary Jane, spiderman tries to attack Venom and venom knocks Spiderman on a black web, shoots webs at his hands and jumps on him.
  • Harry suddenly grabs Mary Jane by the throat and pushes her back against a wall.
  • Cops chase Sandman with their guns drawn, but he disappears by turning into sand. He then blasts one cop back against a windshield and then turns into something of a small sand giant, with the cops firing into him (causing holes and seemingly causing Sandman some pain, but no permanent injury). He then knocks those cops aside, along with a police car.
  • In scenes from the first two films shown during the opening credits, we see a close-up of a spider biting into Peter's skin, The death of Ben Parker and Norman osborn, and Doc Octopus.
  • Eddie jumps toward the symbiote and blows them both up when Peter pulls him out of the symbiote and tosses a pumpkin bomb at it. For a little moment, his skeleton is visible.
  • An action sequence involving Peter and Harry results in the latter suffering from a dense concussion that gives him short-term memory aftermost of act one a the scene, Harry is knocked unconscious with blood on his head. Peter tries doing CPR on him but that doesn't work.
  • Spider-Man creeps along the ceiling of a train tunnel while following a man who has robbed a bank; he drops from the ceiling and the two fight, one is thrown onto train tracks, they are each slammed into the sides of speeding trains, and one falls into water, and then a large barrel of water is poured onto him and he seems to dissolve.
  • After finding out that Eddie photoshopped the picture on the news article, Peter gets mad and pushes Eddie into a glass picture frame.
  • On a newsbroadcast, Sand Man is shown to be throwing armored cars around.
  • On the same broadcast, Venom is briefly shown murdering a number of NYPD officers.

Profanity

  • Repeated uses of "hell" and "ass." One use of "damn" used by Peter.
  • More profanic than the first two
  • 1 hell, 2 uses of "Oh my God" and 1 use of "My God."
  • Infrequent mild and insulting language.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Mild consumption of alcohol by a few characters.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Venom is a dark and menacing character who often roars when attacked or attacking, which may scare some. Also, his appearance can be frightening as well.
  • During the crane scene, several people on the street are killed by falling debris, including a young woman who gets hit in the chest by a steelbeam and dies with a terrified high-pitched scream.
  • When Eddie first becomes Venom, he suddenly moves towards the camera, serving as a transition to the next scene, but may also startle some viewers
  • The appearance of venom and the noises he makes is very scary
  • A meteorite crashes to the ground and some black, sticky substance (like a moving web) scampers across the ground and hops on the back of Peter's motorbike as he takes off with Mary Jane (both are oblivious to it).
  • The scene where Peter and May learn that Flint was Ben's true killer is very dark and desolate but we later learn that he didn't kill him on purpose
  • In the film, as the symbiote takes control of his body, Peter continues to behave violently, bluntly, and with hostility towards those around him. As the story progresses, Peter realizes that he will eventually lose himself as he rebels against his friends and colleagues and makes enemies, who later turn out to be the film's villains. Venom's gaze is evil and hideous. The black goo initially follows its target, devouring it and transforming into a sinister creature.
  • All of the city's cruelty towards Peter takes a darker turn. Jameson is cruel towards Spiderman as usual. MJ gets upset over things Peter does, and to make the stakes higher, she dumps Peter (partly staged but it's what she does). And Harry, borderline hating him in "2," turns into his enemy outright after the events of "2" (obvious). Again not for little kids or the somewhat faint of heart.
  • Harry's face is disfigured after one of his own bombs has been thrown at him. You can see the his disfigured side of his face. This might be unsettling for some.
  • The symbiote' effect on Peter, and Venom, in appearance and actions, are frightening and unsettling.

  • Harry was shown being stabbed by Venom.
  • Eddie kills himself when Peter Parker tries to kill the Venom symbionte.
  • Harry sacrifices himself to save Peter from Venom. After Venom is defeated, Harry dies of his injuries with Peter and Mary Jane by his side. This scene is extremely depressing and hard to watch.

  • Sandman has a sick daughter and tries to steal money with his partner. It is revealed that he caused Uncle Ben's death by accident and he describes the event haunting him for years and wanting to take it back. Very tragic.
