Movie Review: Spiderman 3

I watched Spiderman 3 this weekend which continues to be the leading movie in Korean movie theatres.  In my opinion the movie was quite good, but not as good as the first two movies.  The special effects are in incredible as to be expected and all the main characters give strong performances, but the story line is what makes this the worst of three movies.  There are a variety of story line threads in the movie that just do not come together well in the end.  The story line thread involving Peter Parker turning into the dark Spiderman was just absolutely ridiculous and really took away from the movie. 

The movie has two new villains, the Sandman and Venom along with the old Hobgoblin villain from Spiderman 2.  The two new villains are very poorly developed, especially Venom, which can all be attributed to the poor story line.  One of the villains should have been left out for a future Spiderman movie which would have helped focus the story line.   All in all it is worth seeing just for the special effects alone, however I think Spiderman 2 is still the best Spiderman movie.

    sandman kicks ass

    i think they should combine a marvel all star cast into one movie

    hulk
    spider-man
    x-men
    fantastic four

    one thing i didnt like about fantastic four was THING was to small he used to beat the HULK in comic editions! the movie version wasnt big enough
    the movieversion of hulk was cool

    also x-men needs to introduce Collasus as he was a prime character in the comics
    he was briefly in X-men 2 as a student

    Sandman was a cool character and they probably could have made the whole Spiderman 3 movie focused around him as much as they did Doctoc Octopus in Spiderman 2. The Fantastic Four movie I thought was just horrible. The only saving grace was looking at Jessica Alba for two hours. The next Fantastic Four movie does look pretty good though because they face off against the Silver Surfer.

    The X-men movies were good and Hulk wasn’t to bad either. I think the problem with combined hero movies would be trying to pay all the big name stars to act in them.
