Spiderman 3 - Warning, may contain Emo

with one comment

Film was sold out (of course) at the Southbank cinema’s, apparantly they had sold all internet tickets by 4pm!

Personally I love packed movie cinema’s as there is always someone interesting to talk to and at the very least someone who’s laugh was way too hard and makes you burst out.  I had such a fellow in front of me.  Every moment in the film where MJ was trying to be sincre “but Peter… what about me!  Don’t you care how I feel?” this poor fellow just couldn’t help it, it was like watching a fatman hold together a burst pipe, eventually something was going to crack.

Luckily his laughter was well recieved as I think I haven’t buried my head in my hands so many times in a movie.  Every time Peter and MJ were together (roughly 98% of the film) I kept wanting to shield myself from the trainwreck which was their relationship… I think they must have consulted Dolly on how to create a relationship that Teenagers could relate to.

On the flipside I’ve never walked out of a cinema and heard sooo many people comment about Emo.  I think everyone was amazed as me at how Peter Parker was affected by Venom best shot i could find on the internets:

Yes… Peter Parker sporting an emo haircut and black eyeliner, and even looks at himself in them mirror a lot.  Real men don’t look in the mirror at themsleves, only emo’s and Men for evading people who are about to stab them in the back.  Which Spidey sucks as well in this film, it seems all you have to do is walk up behind him and you’ve got him with his emo pants down.

To be fair, I ‘ve never really liked any of the Spiderman films.  Toby just doesn’t cut it for me as Spidey, he’s just too plain… annoying!

There were a few cool fight scenes, and with the Green Goblin returning you know some stuff is gonna blow up.  Props for giving the Green Goblin less armour and more X-games style.

Out of the 3 hours of film I’d have to say I’d rewatch, maybe 15 mins of it JB compressed style.  Those of  you who know how I watch a movie will appreciate this.
