Spiderman 3 Sucks Rotten Bananas

I’ve been lazy with my movie reviews, but I just HAD to say something about this movie.

IT SUCKS!!! It’s not worth paying $11 or $13 to go see. It’s a video rental. It’s waaay to long. I was looking at my watch 3/4 of the way into it thinking, “When is it going to end?!?” It needed to be edited better.

The special effects were good. The end sequence of the big battle was great. Although when Spiderman is fighting with Goblin’s son the background didn’t seem real. But I can forgive that because it’s a movie based on a comic book.

The story starts off really good, then somewhere in the middle it just loses its way. It turns into this stupid soap opera. I was shaking my head during the movie thinking, “Oh they’re not serious?!? Oh NO!” I turned to friends in the theatre to see if it was just me that was thinking this was retarded and our friend Guy had his hands over his eyes shaking his head in disbelief.

So it’s not just me that thought this movie sucked. Our whole row was just shaking its head or staring at the screen with a ‘WTF!?!’ look on their face. It’s sad to see that a great movie franchise would sink this low.

They need to keep that mask on Tobey McGuire. Why they keep on riping it off is beyond me. It’s just retarded. Just keep his stupid mask on. Tobey needs to be behind a mask, he’s not Tom Welling! Tobey Dancing and acting all hip was just too much. I know they were trying to achieve a difference in the way the Venom symbiote made Peter feel, but they went at it all the wrong way. It was terrible. I felt like scooping my eyes out with a spoon and throwing it at the screen. I was embarrassed for Tobey/Peter. It was also too forced when he played that part. The acting just didn’t cut it.

The sappiness just made me want to scream, “I DON’T CARE!!! SHOW ME A GOOD FIGHT, IT’S WHAT I CAME TO SEE!!!”
The whole, “I forgive you, I forgive you” line just made me groan. Horrible. Absolutely horrible.

The script writer sucks. He destroyed what could have been an amazing movie. It had potential… it really did, unfortunately they hired the wrong writer and wrong movie editor.

When the movie ended, Guy covered his head in his jacket and said, “I’m embarrassed to be seen here at this movie.”

I totally understood his feelings. I want my money back, I want the 2 hours and 20 minutes of my life back… and I’ll never get it back.

The next weekend, we had free movie coupons from the cereal boxes so we took the kids. I made Ryan sit through it with them while I went shopping. All 4 of them loved the movie and I loved the fact that I didn’t have to sit through that horrible movie again. AND I’m NOT buying it on DVD.
