Go ahead and see it

Rating: 6/10 (7 May 2007)

I must say I was disappointed in the path the director chose for Spiderman 3. If, like me and my group of friends, you are a fan of the comic series, you will be too.
1) Sandman is supposed to be sick and twisted, not a misunderstood man, down on his luck, trying to do something good, but going about it the wrong way. 2) Venom is the greatest threat to Spiderman, more than any other villain, because he can do everything Spiderman can do, but Spidey's spider sense doesn't work with Venom (and it is pure evil and cannot be killed with anything smaller than a fuel-air bomb). I'm not even going to say what he did with Harry, it is simply outrageous.
I think the director spent too much time playing therapist, trying to give Spiderman some closure, resolving his issues. Spiderman is a superhero. As such, he is a tragic figure, like all super heroes. They don't get closure, but they fight on despite their deep inner turmoil, that is what makes a super hero heroic. So go ahead and see Spiderman in theaters, the DVD won't be worth the money.
