Spider-Man 3 - The Broadway Version

Okay, I know this is a bit late but what can I say, I only got invited to Associated Content two days ago and the first thing I thought of writing is a review of Spider-man 3, the movie. I'm your typical guy, I like movies that has action and suspense and stuff that blow up.

The first two installment of Spider-man I like. There were action, betrayal, lots of punches and buildings being blown up. A few blood even showed up. So I was really excited to see this third installment and I hoped that it would live up to my expectation.

Okay, first half of the movie was interesting. There were action scenes and I like the fight scene between Green Goblin and Spidey. The camera moved around a lot that I didn't know what I was looking at, which is GREAT! It delivered, it had great effects, great fight choreography, great EVERYTHING.

About the middle of the movie, Spidey started dancing, and I thought WTF? There were dancing and singing! I thought someone was playing a trick on me and they would eventually show up in the screen and yell that we were all being filmed. When the guy playing Peter Parker started playing the piano and no one yelled, you're on candid camera, I was actually starting to get pissed.

I mean, what the heck are the producers thinking? That someone from Broadway will be watching, jump out of their chair and say, "I have to make this movie a musical!" I mean, come on! If I wanted to see a chick flick I would have rented Sense and Sensibility instead of wasting perfectly good money to see a movie that turns out to be a musical.

Thankfully, the Broadway part was over after being subjected to it for a good ten to twenty minutes. The fight scenes started again and I was in heaven again. The CGI is seamless. In 5 years time, we wouldn't need actors, just good computer graphics personnel.

I don't know how much of the script they took from the Original comic book because, to be honest, I haven't really read any Spider-man comics. But I heard a friend say that the whole movie seemed to be rushed and I said, of course. You can't really fit everything in the comics into a 2 ½ hour movie.

All in all, I'd probably give Spider-man 3 a 3 out of 5 stars. 2 ½ for the screenplay and 4 for the graphics.
