HowEver

Discussion Starter · May 5, 2007

Without giving anything away... just saw Spiderman 3, and found it to be a good ride, if terribly derivative of the first two movies. Of course, it's a sequel of a sequel, but still.

Thoughts?

I'll see it in 3 weeks to avoid the fan stampede.

I can't imagine what the IMAX theatre is like tonight...

I was just coming here to ask if anyone knew of an IMAX theatre where it's showing. The grandkids and I were looking forward to seeing it at our IMAX, but it isn't on the list of current showing and now word if it ever will be

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it HowEver - I look forward to seeing it.

Next comes Shrek the Third .......

I just got back from watching it on the IMAX at silvercity West Edmonton Mall.it started at 8:00 and we got there at 7:15.so we were one of the last to get in we had to sit in the second row,which was way to close.But it was still a great show:clap:

Effects were excellent.

Script not so great.

Acting - horrible.

...and minus 5 points for gratuitous Spidey-with-fullscreen-US-flag-in-background shot.

Couldn't wait for it to be over.

I'm waiting to see it at a drive in. It's the best way to watch a summer blockbuster IMO. Especially if it involves an overnight at a motel...

Just came back from seeing Spiderman III.

Positive Elements:

- good special effects. Glad to see that they cleaned up the CGI a bit from the last two installments
- nice to see Venom on the big screen. Topher Grace was great as was Hayden -Church
- Jameson was funny as ever!

Negative Elements:

- cheesy, drawn out dialogue
- seemed like five or six movies cobbled into one
- the theatre burst out laughing at two scenes: one where Harry's butler confesses his love for his father and Harry (reminded me of the scene in School of Rock! Remember?!), the other where Spidey/Parker bursts out crying when Harry dies.

Oh well.

Too much crying, emo Parker was ridiculous, but overall a fun movie. Worth seeing in the theatres.

I thought it was the worst of three – they keep getting cheesier. Particularly hated the way the film introduced the "new" Peter Parker. But thought it was still ok for the drive-in.

My 12-year-old loved it.

I will probably go and see it soon but I do think that Venom and the black costume could have waited for at least a couple of more sequels. Spiderman's Rogue gallery has allot more villains that deserved to be in a movie than Venom for one the already introduced Doc Conners will eventually turn himself into The Lizard, I always thought that Spiderman's best villain was Kraven the Hunter he definitely deserves a shot at the big screen. With any luck the producers and writers stay away from the obvious and don't introduce Carnage in Spiderman 4.

at the end i was left wondering if this was a peter jackson film, the way the director exhibited no self control. 3 totally unrelated villains and accompanying story lines.

bad film, great effects on everything but spidy himself, who always looks fake in the action sequences.
