Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

movie review for spiderman 3

Watched Spiderman 3 with Freedy yet again today.

Here's my review for it:

1) Graphics and fighting scenes (****)

Many new characters were introduced in this movie. Sandman, Venom and Green Goblin 2.
Graphics were refined and clear. Like especially the sand effects for Sandman and the Spiderman's suit.

Fighting scenes were cool. Was quite sure that I held my breath a couple of times during the intense moments of the show.

2) Acting (**)

Tobey Maguire's acting remained wooden in this show. I mean I understand Peter Parker's supposed to be a nerd, but both Freedy and I was expecting a more matured version of Peter Parker in handling areas of his life given all the trials he went through in the earlier movies.

Kirsten Dunst's performance was rather disappointing too. Didn't portray an intense-enough acting especially when she witnessed the gruesome attacks Peter Parker suffered from Sandman. And come on! Considering the numbers of 'thrill rides' she already experienced in past 2 movies, can she not act so surprised and shocked as if its her first time going through all these traumas!?!?!

On the other hand, James Franco who acted Peter Parker's best friend Harry did an commendable job this time round. Witnessed his efforts in handling the shift of Harry's character over to the not-so-good side in Spiderman3.

3) Plot (***)

Think Sam Raimi who directed all Spiderman series attempted too much in this film. Too many characters introduced in one go, too many aspects to cover (romance, fights, friendship, moral integrity) and too little time = lack of depth in the movie. But well, at least we can comment him for his efforts and bold try! =)

4) Biblicality (***)

Well I do think that throughout the movie some biblical themes were brought up. Subjects such as handling our ego and pride, attitudes towards relationship and marriage and a call to make the right decision irregardless of circumstances are noteworthy stuffs to be observed in this film.

Overall comment: Watch it if you can! Not bad after all! ;)

Oh, leaving you guys with a scene from the movie. I was totally mesmerised by it: (you gotta see the entire footage of the show before you can truly appreciate this pic)
