Spiderman 3.. oh God..
Straight off the bat, I'm apologising, because I don't usually write scathing reviews on anything.. in fact usually I just don't write reviews period, but I have to say that seeing Spiderman 3 tonight was probably $11.50 I could have spent more wisely on toilet paper..
Honestly.
I don't understand how Hollywood can continue to spill garbage onto movie screens and expect people to keep paying to go to the cinema.
Oh wait, downloading movies illegally is the reason the studios are losing money.. sure.. that's it..
It's especially irksome because the prequels were really quite good. (Keeping in mind this is all a comic-book adaption..)
Out of 10, I'd give Spiderman 3 either a 2, or a 1. It wasn't so much the performances that killed it per se, Topher Grace was (with a little open mindedness) ok, Tobey Maguire struggled to pull off his lines but given those lines, did reasonably. Aunt May was undoubtedly the best performance in my mind, but this movie couldn't be saved, not at all. Not by adding 3 villains at once, explosions, lots of dramatic music and a big-impressive trailer.
One of the points I awarded it was actually because I shared the pain with some friends, (whos company, may I add, made the night very enjoyable).
Sandman appears out of nowhere, apparently revealed as the 'true' killer of Uncle Ben, but he apologises so all is forgiven.. Venom had a small amount of decent character development, then dies.. Mary Jane screams the whole time (oh and cries in one scene), and the hobgoblin gets stabbed through the chest, and as the sun sets over New York, the star-spangled banner waving on the building top next door, and the chorus swelling, he too packs it in.
Of course, I didn't ruin the ending for you, you already knew all of that was going to happen. I just saved you the agony of waiting two and a half hours to get there.
It's too bad really, to make a movie so awful that it verges on ruining the comic books, and does no justice to the tv show that made the whole story so great, but that's what Spidey 3 did for me.
If you're still going to see it, fine, but keep an open mind.. a very open mind, and forgive the constant plot holes, terrible script, and useless dialogue from characters we've never heard of. In fact, just focus on the pretty special effects, and everything will be fine..
Give me a break Hollywood, for the love of all that is sacred, get off your asses, stop pumping mindless crud to an audience that's more intelligent than that, and hire some decent writers.

5 thoughts are now mine:
You have to admit that Emo Spiderman was prety amusing. Especially when he was strutting his stull all down the sidewalk. Hahaha.
Oh geez.. I almost walked out when that happened!!

im sick of your spidey sense already for f*!k sake... post a new freakin blog entry damn you!!!!

LOL!!!
Mr Jimzip, 'tis time for you to blog again kind sir.
Unless of course, your apartment has been robbed and they stole your computer. And then you called the police but they turned out to be fake police and stole your wallet. So you had no cash for the internet cafe, which had burnt down anyway in a freak fire.
Which I guess, considering your luck over there at times, could well have happened. In which case, can someone plese wire James some money so we can get another blog entry???
