Daggers Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 Spiderman 3 It seems the most appropriate way to celebrate such a spend of money is to give it a mark out of 10! Early reviews slated the film for being too long, having too many super-villains, being too weak in the plot, having a strained love-interest that didn't work and relying too much on the final battle scene. I thought it was bloody fantastic. I loved the Raimi comedy running through the film, I thought Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, Army of Darkness) was absolutely OUTSTANDING as the French maître d' (also the ring announcer in Spidey1 and a snotty usher in Spidey2). I guess the reviewers don't read comics - but as someone that grew up on Marvel super-heroes I'll devour anything based on the genius of Stan Lee. I wub Stan Lee! ...now for the iMax version!
Flynny Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 Exactly what I thought. I can't understand the slatings its been given. It's like reviewers don't expect audiences to be able to follow more than one thread at a time. Voted a 9.
Leicfox Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 Best one yet imo, although i only voted 8 as im a tight twat.
Alexikokopops Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 I voted ten, just because of the bit when evil Parker strutted down the street pointing at the ladies.
Floating Fox Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 Loved it, great film. 9/10 for me. CGI were amazing, abit of comedy and the soundtrack - I love it
Simi Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 Good to see it's liked. I'll be going to see sometime this week.
Webbo Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 took the kids to see it yesterday. i gave it 7/10. definitely the funniest yet and the affects were brilliant but i think it took a long time to get going and it was a bit over long.
Daggers Posted 8 May 2007 Author Posted 8 May 2007 So I guess it's worth seeing? Absolutely...unless you are going to Star City. The projector was wobbling throughout the film - it made me feel sick during the close ups. Obviously, you need to be expecting a Spiderman film - anyone expecting Three Colours Blue is going to be bitterly disappointed
Floating Fox Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 Did anyone have any 12 year chavs in the cinema who came out with stupid comments & wouldn't shut up all the way through? The ones that always run off 5 mins before the end, so they don't get lamped by some bloke who gets pissed off with them?
Phube Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 I voted ten, just because of the bit when evil Parker strutted down the street pointing at the ladies. Best bit in any Super hero movie ever!!! Fact!! I voted 8. i.e. Really good film, but I think I just prefer No.2 (but not by much). Too much Aunt May... god she's annoying!!
cisono Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 Haven't seen it yet. Will vote when I do (probably tomorrow).
hebangsthedrums Posted 9 May 2007 Posted 9 May 2007 Awful, very disappointed - I loved the first two. Negligible explanation of characters, stupid dialogue and the strange emo infatuation (no I don't dislike it because it was 'emo', but because the symbiate (sp?) was supposed to accentuate the hosts personality which in PP is shy etc so why the random dancing etc?) all add up to Raimi spoiling his previous work. Venom hardly featured and Sandman wasn't a patch on Doc Ock. The butler explaining Spiderman is nice to Harry - lazy.
Daggers Posted 9 May 2007 Author Posted 9 May 2007 The butler explaining Spiderman is nice to Harry - lazy. Read more comics
Dr The Singh Posted 9 May 2007 Posted 9 May 2007 I thought the first two were pants, and hence I expect this one to be!!! Unfortunatley, my nippers want me to take them to watch this movie!!!
hebangsthedrums Posted 9 May 2007 Posted 9 May 2007 Read more comics So in the comics the butler randomly decides to tell Harry spiderman didn't kill his father, all is forgiven and he trots off to help him 2minutes later? If thats how it is in the comics then fair enough I suppose but either way it seems a really lazy way of moving the plot - 'yeh Ive known for ages but I'll tell you now that the story is at a bit of a quandry and its easy'

I didn't like Harry's conversion but there you go, didn't stop the entire film from being a great romp.

No I didn't hang it for just this one point - there were plenty of others but I don't want to get too nerdy and list them all. I just think the attention to detail was poor in comparison to the two previous films. I don't think my expectations helped and obviously thats not the directors fault so I change my score from 2 to 4. I think maybe if at the time of filming Raimi had known for definite that more films were in th epipeline he wouldn't have tried to squeeze as much in and so would have developed a lot of the plot a bit better. IMO - SFX links between the SFX setpieces as a follow up to S2

Simi Posted 13 May 2007 Posted 13 May 2007 Don't EVER question the random dancing. Don't make me come after you... Random dancing was quality. I was impressed with the film as a whole.
Samilktray Posted 13 May 2007 Posted 13 May 2007 yeah good film...bit long but get your moneys worth time wise
