Classic Entertainment for the Masses

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2019)

4 May 2007. Once in a while, a movie comes out that taps directly into the mainstream audience with such power that it resonates its own level of quality. Such is this third installment of Spiderman. Two such contemporary movies have come before - Jaws (1975) and Titanic (1997). Spiderman 3 sets a new standard of excellence for the mass audience movie taking humor, relatively complex plot outline, and incorporating breathtaking action sequences, and a heavy dose of spirituality, betrayal, revenge motif, forgiveness, love and relationships into an amazing package for this era of time. Besides a surprisingly somewhat weak special effects and one weak scene with the Franco and his servant, the overall movie is superb. The depth of emotions and the ethical message is so riveting is so ripe for today's complicated and crumbling societal direction. Nine out of Ten Stars.
