SPIDERMAN 3

(8/10)

Well here we go....let all the backlash begin because it is certainly starting but I, personally, don't have the same disapointment. By a third part of any series- I think it is safe to say that a movie is made to satisfy the fans and the fans only BUT , when a film is being released in 4200 theatres, cash will be coming out of everyone's pockets not just the fans of the movie.

Spiderman 3 is a lot more intimate than the others. We really get to dive deep into the characters minds and see sides of them we didn't see before, especially weaknesses. And I loved that aspect. I loved new friendships that were made and nice comic touches and it certainly was amazing seeing Peter Parker be quite the badass for a part of the movie since we all have a dark side.

Villians: Well Venom looked amazing and scary but once he morphs into Topher Grace you can't help but kind of chuckle- the boy is too dorky to be playing such a serious villian and Venom doesn't even come into play til very late into the movie and I think his followers will be vastly dissapointed. On the other hand, I really liked how they did Sandman(Thomas Haden Church) and connected him to the original film- we are able to get a glimpse of his life and actually feel sorry for him because in the end the moral of this film is forgiveness at all costs.

Performances were all fine by me- Kirsten Dunst seems to be getting tired of playing damzel in distress but she is always beautiful and charming. Tobey is just devilishly fun in this movie and don't miss his "bad ass hair doo" haha. Also, I have NEVER EVER liked Bryce Dallas Howard- I hated her movies, I don't think she is pretty but um....way to go you have a fan in me- I think she is simply gorgeous in this movie!

The plot seemed simple enough which was fine but there was too many foreced coincidences- I know this is comic book world but still- you can only accept "Oh, he just happend to be there?" for so long. A cameo from Raimi-alum Bruce Campbell really steals part of the movie- he is hilarious!!!!

So overall I'm not really telling anyone to not see this movie because it was made with lots of love and deserves support. But if their going to have another one- their really going to have to blow our minds because this one just kind of sugarcoats around the edges, less action- more mushy gushy but sometimes I like mushy gushy.
