A Little Tiring

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2007)

I have to admit, I like the spider-man movies. The first one was the best, as most first installments are. The second was just a big disappointment in my mind. Then, we're faced with an over publicized, over hyped third movie. I was expecting it to be amazing, since they made it sound like THE movie of the year. And, humble movie goers, what is my final verdict? I'd rank it somewhere between a good and a so-so. The Peter/Harry fight was intense, enough to give me a migraine in fact. But, with a good cast, this movie offers some more than mediocre acting scenes. Peter's evil side is what bothered me most. He seems mostly vengeful, and then you've got him prancing down the street in a silk suit? And what, may I ask, was that jazz club scene all about? It's just about enough to make a spidey loving fan pack up and go home! But then, all redeems itself with a kick butt final battle scene! Where Spidey goes seemingly alone into a web of venom's crazy goo, and starts kicking some Eddie Brock tail! The sandman jumps in, and all hope seems lost, when (gasp!) Harry Osborn forgives and forgets and sacrifices his life for Spidey and MJ. Ooooh, what a good ending...not. What seems like the end of a very respectable movie evolves into a funeral scene, with a short and very predictable monologue from Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and then the movie seems like it's done, but then cuts to yet another scene. Where MJ is singing at the jazz club (goodbye to love? Yeah right!) and Peter comes in and takes her hand. Then it's over. I think that movie had the most tiring ending ever.
