Okay so I saw Spiderman 3 on Friday night and just wanted to start a discussion about it. I have to say... I was pretty disappointed.
I LOVED the first two Spideys and thought they were so well done. But this one... I don't know. It was pretty cheesy at times. I just didn't care about the characters as much in this one. As much as I love Topher, I didn't think it was very good casting. And I really think the venom character could have been left out all together. It also bugs me when not everything is explained. Like what the heck happened to Flint (the guy who turned into sandman). I mean what was that contraption that did that to him? What were they researching, etc? Also, where did Venom come from? Was it just an alien that happened to land on earth? Why go specifically after Spidey? In the comics, they explain that it came back from space on an astronaughts ship or something like that. The movie just left so many holes.
Also the whole Emo look that Spidey went through. I realize they were trying to show him as a different person but really. The walking down the street was sooo cheesy as was the dance at the jazz club. His hair was driving me NUTS!
On a positive note, I am glad that he and Harry made up eventually. And I thought the whole idea of the movie (revenge bad, forgiveness good) was nice but it was just soo cheeesy!
Any thoughts?
Another thing I didn't get. When Venom had taken over Spidey, he still had his Spiderman qualities, just a little darker. So how come when he took over Topher's character, he was still Spider like. It seems like he would just play off of the powers they already had or something like that. Topher was in no way Spiderman. Hmmm... Just food for thought.
