the battle within

Rating: 1/10 (4 May 2007)

OK..so i have seen spider-man 3...i was waiting so long for this movie that even if it was bad i have got to see it..so lets talk about it.. i have been a spider-man fan for ages now...i know pretty much everything about the wall crawler and when the movie franchise decided to go through it at first i was angry..cause i knew they couldn't do it like it is in the comics...first one was not so bad...second one was really good...but this one...i think really got the very soul of the comic book.. Sam Raimi did a very good job on directing..action scenes couldn't have done better..the scenes where spider-man fought Osborn was epic...and the final scene where Osborn and Spidey fought both venom and sandman was breathtaking..so the directing and the visual effects was really good... about the acting..i think Tobey Maguire did an awesome job this time..reflecting the roles of 2 different persona's(the Symbiote and the real parker)is a hard thing but he really pulled it off...James Franco also did a nice job on playing the new goblin...it was fun to watch him struggle between his love for his friends and his loyalty to his father...as for the new comers..Topher Grace is Eddie Brock..but not like the comic-book-bad-ass-Brock...in the movie he is pretty cheesy and hits on anything that moves...(like Betty Brant)but this version of Eddie Brock was suitable for this movie because he was supposed to be a rival for peter parker and he should have been like peter parker....the other part of Eddie Brock which we d like to call "venom" was a bit different from the comic book version and he showed himself in the last 30 minutes but it was fun to watch him in action at last...Bryce Dallas Howard is the really beautiful Gwen Stacy...in the comics she dies...they didn't put it in the movie but i hope she wont :)....the love triangle between MJ,peter,Gwen was good given the circumstances peter is in,dealing with his other evil identity...
i thought the movie was actually good..OK maybe they put a lot of villains in one movie...maybe somethings happened too fast like they weren't important(like..where does the Symbiote come from??or..Spidey loses his black suit too quickly we haven't seen him in real action in that suit!)maybe Spidey vs.venom fight wasn't long enough..but..who cares?...i mean the movie was good..even for a comic book fan like me...the long awaited venom was not great but really good...sandman was perfect!,the new goblin and harry were astonishing....harry's death was meaningful..he died like a true hero helping his friend and died trying to protect him...so: spider-man 3 is good...if you have a free time and money to spare you should watch the brand new wall-crawler while he tries to end the battle within! cheers...
