Spider-Man 3

My Spider-Man 3 Review:




As a Spider-Man fan, I liked the movie, but some thoughts:

First of all, Spider-Man has the best set of villains and supporting characters in comics. You would have to do a major botch-up job to make it seem otherwise.


Topher Grace has now become one of the greatest miscasts in film of all time. As Eddie Brock, ok, but as Venom — he pretty much destroyed it. I think Sam Raimi became a bit confused in trying to explore some of the darker themes in Spider-Man and at the same time not alienating the kids which seems to be one of the important target audiences for Sony. The result is an ill-advised casting of Topher Grace among other things. I’m not a big fan of Venom — because I hate him or it since its so evil — but Topher, even if it looked like he tried his best, pretty much made Venom look like a joke.

Tobey Maguire is a horrible actor. When you cry and the entire audience laughs, that’s serious bad acting right there.

Finally, since when was Kirsten Dunst known for her singing? This is a spoiler, but consider it a warning: Kirsten Dunst’s singing bookends this movie. Get ready.

Again, it's just great to see Spider-Man on the big screen. The animation is top-notch with some really good sequences.

The storyline and the concept is good -- the battling with yourself thing, and I think this is the best Spider-Man movie so far.

Verdict: Cool!
