Spider-man 3 – Almost, But Not Quite
Posted on March 17, 2008 - Filed Under Arts and Entertainment
Let’s begin with the biggest movie of the year: Spider-Man 3. Spider-Man 3 transpires immediately after Spider-Man 2. It was divulged to Harry in Spider-Man 2 that his good friend Peter Parker is Spider-Man, and Harry takes steps to assassinate Spider-Man since Harry believes Spider-Man (Peter) killed his father.
At the start of the movie, the love relationship between Peter Parker and Mary Jane is genuine and honest; however, Peter realizes that his alter-ego Spider-Man is an iconic figure and hero to many people. Mary is floundering as her occupation as an actress after receiving egregious evaluations from critics. As the movie progresses she has an arduous time connecting with Peter due to all the Spider-Man notoriety getting to his head. This is tremendously exacerbated by the black slime that attaches to Peter Parker. Falling from the sky at an amazing velocity is the black slime, which acts as a double-edged sword when it comes in contact with anyone.
The slime enhances all of Spider-Man’s physical attributes, but it also diminishes all of Peter’s inhibitions. While all this is occurring, fugitive Flint Marko attempts to uncover a remedy for his child’s sickness. As Flint tries to flee from the authorities, he finds himself trapped in a science experiment. This experiment converts him into Sandman. I have to admit I enjoyed watching the perverse Spider-Man (Peter Parker) much more than the playful Spider-Man (Peter Parker). For starters, it accentuated some of the most facetious scenes in the movie.
One of which was when Peter was dancing in a cantina in front of Mary Jane and making asinine gestures at random women as he was walking the streets of New York. Afterwards, Peter ascertains from the police that Flint murdered Peter’s uncle. This makes Peter furious, and he goes on a rampage to avenge his Uncle Ben’s death. Peter recognizes that the black slime consumes him, so he tries to discard it. This is where Eddie Brock comes into play. Eddie is Peter’s nemesis at the Daily Bugle and who ultimately becomes Venom.
Spider-Man 3 turns into an ongoing battle between Spider-Man, Sandman, Venom, and Harry. Spider-Man 3 does have its share of flaws: Sandman, Gwen Stacy, and Topher Grace’s portrayal of Venom. I have absolutely no idea why the hell Sandman and Gwen are in this movie because they are incongruous. James Franco does a decent job of playing Harry. Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst do an adequate job of reprising their roles as Spider-Man and Mary Jane respectively. Peter’s aunt is in the movie played by that woman who is irrelevant, and the always entertaining J. Jonah Jameson is the egotistical journalist at the Daily Bugle.
You do not have to be a Spider-Man fan to appreciate the memorable cameo by Bruce Campbell. Spider-Man 3 is much better than the disappointing ending in Spider-Man 2 because no villains commit suicide in this movie. A 300 million dollar budget, and Sony coming up with a dreadful ending like that in Spider-Man 2 was embarrassing. Do not fret because Spider-Man 3 does not disappoint for the most part. It is the best of the 3 Spider-Man movies in view of the fact that the action sequences, comedic performances, and computer generated images are brilliant.
Final verdict: See it because is is funny as hell and the computer generated images worth the price of admission.
