Evaluating James Franco’s Green Goblin in “Spider-Man 3”
In “Spider-Man 3,” James Franco’s portrayal of the Green Goblin received mixed reviews, largely due to the character’s departure from the expected appearance. Unlike previous iterations of the Green Goblin in the Spider-Man series, Franco’s rendition featured a mask that covered his entire face, with only the top of his head visible, diverging significantly from the traditional design.
Franco’s stylistic choice for his Green Goblin costume raised questions among fans and critics alike, with some expressing disappointment in the departure from the iconic look associated with the character. While the mask design may have aimed to introduce a fresh take on the character, it ultimately failed to resonate with audiences, leaving it as one of the less favored renditions of the Green Goblin in the Spider-Man franchise.
