Wow...

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2007)

I went to see the Friday night showing, and up to then all I had heard was raving reviews, plus it had an 8.2 rating on here. I really thought this was by far the best out of all the Spiderman movies, and is probably my favorite comic book movie so far(yes, even better than Batman Begins!) That's why I was so shocked to find so many negative reviews this morning. Really really shocked. I expected there to be the typical haters and such, but I really could find very very little to criticize(ie dancing in the streets??), and the rest of the movie really cancelled that out. I realize that everyone is permitted there own opinion, but I suggest you go see it for yourself. Everyone I heard really enjoyed it, which is why I was just so stunned with all the negative reviews I've seen scince just this morning.
The only thing I can see that anyone would criticize is maybe that the younger guys might not enjoy it as much because there is a lot more emotion and love scenes and fewer action scenes. All the actors were brilliant, but I really have to give props to James Franco, his acting has much improved from the first two.
It was very interesting to see an evil side of Peter Parker. After all, there's only so much perfect hero the world can stand. Sandman and Venom were well-cast, but the door was let open to a number four. Personally I hope they stop now, leave the series on a high note.
At points the CGI was laughable, but the characters brought out so much more that you really didn't care too much. there was also a kickass shot of Spidey leaping into the final battle in front of an American flag, reminding so my people why Spiderman is such a unique comic book hero-he lives in the real world, facing the same demons that you and I face, just on a much larger and more challenging scale.
And in case you were wondering, I was really not a big Spider Man fan until this film. The first two were enjoyable, but just did not seem to have that extra bit. This one really had it. Please go see this movie and judge for yourself, I did not think it deservedso many bad reviews.
