Spider-Man 3 : 4 of 5

Spider-Man 3 is a terrifically fun movie, full of incredible action and effects, along with an entertaining story - definitely quite a departure from the comic books, but managing to capture the spirit of the characters really well. I've been extra-excited about seeing this movie, since my pal Jerry worked on it, and seeing the specific scenes that he worked on added an entirely new level of coolness for me! I really enjoyed the sweeping camera movies in the action sequences and all the creative fighting moves, and I loved Spidey firing web bombs and the giant Sandman scenes. I thought Tobey Maguire did an especially good job this time around, and it was hilarious to see him as the "bad Peter" as the Venom suit starts to affect him (though I have to say, the entire jazz club scene was a little silly and could have easily been cut!). Even though it was tough to weave together a plot with these multiple villains, I really enjoyed the result, although the ending was such a low-energy moment after all that action. My biggest complaint is about the brief moments of narration, which are totally unnecessary (just imagine the opening sequence without it and it's so much better!), but that's just a pet peeve of mine. Spider-Man 3 is an awesome roller-coaster ride, one of the best superhero movies ever, and a spectacular effects showcase! I'm sure I'll be seeing it again!
