great movie - but not suitable to everyone

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2007)

SO... how is Spiderman 3...? I read a few reviews before writing my own and... You can say whatever you want, one thing is for certain, whether you liked it or not - you just can't disregard it. for the better or worst - There's always something happening on the screen that gets your attention, the film doesn't have a dull moment (or very few)... However, lot of scene are down right - emotional ones... if you are a sensitive person - get ready for an emotional roller coaster. so if you're the kind of person who doesn't like to see MUSHY stuff, if you like your hero invulnerable and MACHO, and not so in touch with himself - Go and see old James bond movies.
The movie is packed with Messages, action, and emotional scenes. Messages like : The responsibility of being a hero, knowing what compassion is and to control your "other self" so you wouldn't lose what you really are - a humane person. the destructiveness of letting your dark feelings take control of you... learning to forgive yourself, forgive others, and above all - face your fears, whatever the risks, and discover courage, and who you really are. sounds a bit like spider-man 2, huh? actually, maybe because it's the one that wraps it all up- the director pulled out all the stops. there are more than a few twists in the story and people do get hurt and die.
the action is wonderful and feels great, the effects are nothing short of amazing and the soundtrack really serves the plot beautifully. as to the story itself... as I mentioned before- the director maybe turned to the extreme and you'll find yourself "swallowing" a lot of emotional semi romantic scenes which is definitely not for anyone. other "emotional" scenes are when close people to Peter getting hurt.
This is definitely not your average action movie- it's a little "heavy" and dares to be different from a lot of action movies you've seen. before I sum it up, I just got to hand it to Sam Raimi, Stan lee, Avi ARAD, the production crew and to Colombia/Tristar management who had the BALLS not to use the same old - hero - formula again.
so, why not a 10 or a 9? to tell you the truth, It was too much for me to handle. too much emotions, maybe too many messages and maybe too much of everything. still, I liked it a lot - after all, this maybe the last time you see spidey on the big screen - wouldn't you like to pay him your last visit...?
