Spider-Man 3
I was fortunate enough to be able to see the 12:01 AM showing of Spider-Man 3 last night. The theater was about 95% full and contained a wide range of ages, sexes, races and social economic backgrounds that had gathered for the first taste of a modern icon's new film. It made me happy, hopefully and even more excited to watch the movie.
The Good:
The same cast and crew made the feel of the movie perfectly in line with the previus 2 films.
The score was again awesome, but it's Danny Elfman so what else would you expect.
The special effects were incredible.
It really felt like a comic book brought to life.
It had humor, action, romance, drama and Bruce Campbell (making his 3rd appearance in the trilogy).
The fight scenes were great!
I thought the symbolism was done very well, classic symbolism.
It was a lot of fun to watch.
The Bad:
I found some of the foreshadowing a bit too heavy-handed (In complete honesty, I figured out the complete plot and story sequence in the first half hour).
I would have liked about 5 more minutes of each of the bad guys.
Overall: I really dug this film, I will be purchasing it when it comes out on DVD. I still liked Spider-Man 2 the most, but this is an excellent addition to the series. Good show Mr.Raimi!
