Spiderman 3
Overall it was all right. Some fun action scenes. If you weren't already planning on going, I wouldn't be trying to tell you to run out and see it though.
Emo!Peter. OMG. He had the hair over his face, the black eyeliner (okay, they tried to make it look like it wasn't actually eyeliner, but it was totally there) - I laughed. That whole Peter going darkside - eh. Didn't we see this in the first movie? Or was it the second? Where he had this thing with revenge? And he gives up being Spiderman for a while? This was pretty much the same. Even had the pulling out of the red suit again, which was such a "moment." Peter needed to stop having a moment and get his ass in gear since MJ was, you know, going to die.
MJ really couldn't stop being whiny or getting that frowny look on her face for more than five minutes in a row. Of course, you couldn't really blame her for part of it since Peter was busy being a hot dog. And this was even before the Black Alien Goo of Badness.
Okay, is it ever possible to have redemption that's NOT quickly followed by death? Well, there *was* some pseudo-redemption with the Sandman, but he was regretting his actions even before he went all HULK SMASH. So he got to live.
But the fact that Harry died SUCKED. I mean, if I had to pick one thing I liked the best in this movie, it was when Peter and Harry were fighting on the same side. I was thinking, you know, I could watch a 4th movie if it had lots of this - buddy superheros!! And then they killed him! BAH!
Really - have redemption and die? Really? I suppose it makes things tidy. Think of if Darth Vader had lived. It'd have been a bit awkward with the kids, having tried to kill them a couple of times, and just think of all the "sorry I blew up that planet you liked" cards he'd have to send. But this way he has redemption, dies, and can then kick back with Yoda while morphing into Hayden Christensen. It's pretty sweet.
