Spider Man 3 - Movie

This film is deeply flawed in certain ways. It's much more convoluted than its predecessors, and nowhere near as cohesive. It seems like Sam has tried to fit too much into the film. Three villains as well as Peter's own inner demons, tension with MJ, problems at the Bugle...how much can one superhero handle? Sure, everyone has their own part to play...but introducing all those new characters, and having their individual arcs play out to a satisfying extent - it's a big job, and one that doesn't quite pay off - or, at least, pays off at the expense of smooth narrative flow.
 
The big flaw in "Spider-Man 3" is that it does not distract me from what a sap Peter Parker. Always remains in the silly romance between Peter and Mary Jane's long suffering that I was asking the question: Can an entire movie about the relationship between these two twentysomethings to do? And my answer was: No, because today's audiences would never accept such a clueless hero and a heroine so docile.
 
The chase/fight sequence between Peter and Gobby Jr. is brilliant. We fly and fall through the air, not knowing which way is up half the time. Only Sam Raimi could disorient an audience to that extent while still allowing us to keep up with what's going on - AND manage to inject the scene with such style, humour and gravity, all at the same time.
 
The comic book-inspired franchise has always been the search for balance, ironically, the balance was exactly what the first two movies lacked, with the cast seriously good continually overtaken by special effects.
 
mmg fan beso spiderman kot omputeh ni..
 
Speaking of capable, extremely photogenic actors who keep doing Sam Raimi movies, it's good to see Bruce Campbell in a slightly more memorable part this time. I'd never imagined him playing a cheesy French Maitre'D, but he gives a hilarious turn in a classic scene.
