would suggest avoiding this topic.
Now.
This is basically the spoilers from the Spider-Man 3 novelization which is already out. It's all of it in a nut shell.
I WARN YOU!

I'm only giving partial spoilers as well. If you want to know anymore just ask me and I will tell you. I didn't do the sum up but it is from here: http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthrea d.php?t=268146

The only reason why I just don't give the link is because I don't want you guys to muddle through the entire topic for spoilers. It's a very long topic. Ask me any spoilerish questions if you would like to know anything. That or avoid the topic and wait for the movie.
(SPOILERS)
OPENING
The movie probably begins with Peter looking at how much times have changed since the previous film. Spider-Man is now considered a hero by all. He is the symbol of peace, justice, and hope in New York City.
MANHATTAN MEMMORIES
The story begins at the play Manhattan Memories. These are the shots of MJ on a stage of stars and Harry watching from the balcony.
Peter is in the first row seat. After the play, Peter spots Harry (who is in a rush to get out) and follows him to his limo. Peter insists that he needs to talk to him, that he needs to know what’s happened.
PETER
Don’t keep locking me out! You need to hear the truth.
HARRY
Tell it to my father… raise him from the dead.
PETER
I’m your friend, you’re father was my friend!
The limo drives off.
Peter goes in to see Mary Jane, who is still on good terms with Harry, and congradulates her on the play. MJ suggests that they should “celebrate.”
WATCHING THE METEOR SHOWER
They ride (bike) to the park and watch a meteor shower, during which the meteor crash lands to Earth. Peter guesses that the meteors may have been from Mars.
MARY
Where do they all come from?
PETER
Maybe Mars, a hundred million years ago.
The symbiote, which is described a black oil-like goo, breaks free from the meteorite and senses Peter.
More or less, the symbiote CHOOSES Peter and this is made clear through it’s actions. As Peter and MJ are going, the symbiote sticks to his shoe. The image that came to mind when reading this part is the beginning of Men in Black II- how they seemed to give that plant life in the way that it crawled through the setting of the park. But, this time life is given to the symbiote.
AVENGE MY DEATH!
The following scene shows Harry going through more signs of depression. He is angry and he often gives into his anger. For example, Bernard brings Harry some milk and Harry yells at him saying “I’m not thirsty” as pushes the milk violently away. Harry grasps his skull, he’s having severe headaches. He finally sees his father’s reflection and Norman tells Harry that it is time to avenge his death. Harry agrees.
ESCAPE FROM THE LAW FOR A LITTLE FAMILY TIME
Flint Marko runs through a deserted street and comes across his low-rent apartment.
He enters via the alleyway side window and creeps into his daughter’s bedroom. His daughter’s name is Penny. He kisses his daughter on the head and places several of the letters that he tried to send (and were refused) under her pillows. He goes and gets the classic black and green Sandman sweatshirt and goes into the kitchen.
Here he encounters his wife, Emma. Emma is mad at Flint for coming- she is PISSED! Flint doesn’t dare take action against his wife, he just stands there and takes it all in. Penny eventually enters the kitchen and embraces her father and hands him a locket. He takes it as he has a peaceful moment with his daughter. This is soon broken by Emma’s yells at Flint to “go!” Hearing another siren approaching, Flint exits via the kitchen window.
INTERESTING NOTE: Flint is a very emotional character. He tends to cry. When he leaves we see tears in his eyes. But, as Sandman- there are no more tears due to the transformation. We never actually see him cry- Emma says it and we see tears in his eyes as he leaves.
THE GAS CHAMBER
Harry goes into the green gas chamber. Suffice to say it details that he exits and breaks into a CACKLING maniacal laughter. Think the original Green Goblin laugh.
NOTE: This is the scene from the trailers…
”I’M GOING TO ASK MJ TO MARY ME!”
Peter goes to visit Aunt May in her new apartment. Aunt May tells Peter that he has to make sure that it is the right thing to do- that he shouldn’t rush into it- that there is more to a marriage than love. He needs “security” – such as having a steady life and job. This then leads into May telling Peter that a man must put his wife before himself and then May’s speech about Ben’s proposal ending on “give her this.” Peter leaves Aunt May’s.
AIR BATTLE BETWEEN OLD FRIENDS
The next scene that follows is the Peter vs. GG II battle.
Peter rushes Harry to a hospital. Note- the fight scene takes place in China Town!
THE HOSPITAL
After some scenes at the hospital- Peter saying that it was a “hit and run” and seeing the doctors working on Harry we go to-
BECOMING A SANDMAN
Flint running away from the police.
QUEST (!!!- FIRST FILM- !!!) and the “demoleculization chamber.” Flint running into the room, the scientists ( can’t see inside) think it’s just a bird and give no second thought about it. The transformation begins. Flint becomes Sand. Before this is complete- he throws the locket to the side. Police arrive, they tell the scientists to shut the experiments down- Flint is no where to be seen!
AMNESIA
Harry is at the hospital. He has amnesia. This is a very emotional scene. Harry remembers that Peter is his friend and he slowly remembers that his father has died. MJ enters the hospital room. The three of them are together for a nice brief moment before Peter and MJ are ushered out by a nurse. When gone, we overhear Harry saying “My best friends- I’d give my life for them.” Which is great foreshadowing for the ending to come-
THE SANDMAN
Back in the chamber, the sand takes form and slowly becomes Flint. Flint learns how to control his body and slowly begins to walk. He leaves the area undetected. He does this through his attempt to reach at the locket, eventually he learns to materialize his hands and he attains the locket.
This is all I will post. You CAN look for the other postings of the entire book/movie in the topic if you really want to. I won't really do it unless people request it. I figure giving you the start of the movie isn't too much of a spolier.
