Spidey… Swings and Hangs
May 3, 2007 by joiestar
honestly, i am a spider-man movie fanatic not because i like the story very much but because i dearly love tobey maguire, i still believe until now, he is my soulmate.(joke!)
so there I was with my officemates, may 01 (opening date), at sm mall of asia imax theater, falling in line along with a bunch of kids, pre-teens, teens, couples and elders, gays, lesbians, name it, they all came to see my dear peter parker. they didn’t mind the excruciating long line in buying tickets, not to mention the long line again in entering the theater, even if the malls (almost all of them) opened all their cinemas with only one movie, (that is spidey 3) the crowd is still like that of a rally… and the word "accomodation" is close enough not to be felt (kahit na sure seats).
well so much for that. as i expected, the movie was really good! entertainment is given one notch higher than the usual watch-and-enjoy theme. the theater was filled with, "woah!", woh!"," awesome!" and "God! wheres my popcorn?!" yeah, the tiry falling in line suffering outside was given full justice.
but, as a movie fan and a moviehouse rat at that. there’s still some flaws i observed, well maybe it’s just that i am a keen observer and very particular with the story and continuity… that’s why i look for flaws or i’m watching a hollywood movie and i just can’t believe there’s still some imperfections…
first, the scene where spidey and venom fought for the first time, (that is when spidey was rescuing mj and venom came and unmasked him… and "beautifully" fought with each other) the CGI (computer graphic image) made spidey was so obvious and you could really tell which one is real spidey and which one is not. maybe it’s a mistake they took off spidey’s mask for when they did a fight scene with spidey in a complete costume… it was perfect.
second, the crowd of people watching my dear spidey battles in the climax are just below the fighting area. picture this, spidey, venom , mj screaming for help in a taxi,and a truck are above strangled in a huge web, and below are people watching and taking pictures, and medias covering the incident, and believe me, there were also children! isn’t that a little off?
third, how did a crane got on the top of a building? i know it’s crazy for me to mind that, but I was just bothered how. maybe, again, the "new" building is still under construction!
fourth, when the black thing (?) covered spidey and made him black too… he was wearing his red suit that I presume changed it’s color into black when spidey was taken over. but how come on the next scene both the black and red costume was shown giving my dear peter the freedom to choose? then i said "huh?".
but either way, i enjoyed the film. this third film is filled with great scenes, comedy and dramas. i think this one is more dramatic than the first 2, (my friend cried twice in the movie). sam raimi was really good, the visuals are rich, the musical scores are hair-raising and truly cinematic, the soundtrack was nice and the cast was really fit. bryce dallas howard is so beautiful and charming and james franco is freakin sexy! (it’s not what you’re thinking), tobey maguire (do i need to say more?) is perfect for the role.
If you haven’t seen this movie, don’t be discouraged or even be bothered with this review, it’s really nothing..i’m still young and half-virgin with this stuff, believe me, i still have to count more years to be credible.
spiderman 3, like the first 2 movies presents rich-visuals, excellent SFX (special effects), breath-taking fight scenes, and clean humors. flourished with really emotional moments giving it more serious and not for-profit-only touch, this one has a real heartfelt story.
