Spiderman 3 Movie

I was quite fortunate enough to have gone and watched the Spiderman 3 movie today. But before I continue, this blog entry contain spoilers below so if you have not watched the movie and intend to, then you may want to skip this entry now. You have been warned!

I do have mixed feelings with this release.

This movie had plenty of action, an awesome segment for the origin of Sandman (especially the learning parts), plenty of witty humour throughout, and provided a closure on the feud between best friends, Peter Parker and Harry Osbourne; which was set up by the 2nd movie. But I didn't get the same satisfying wow factor I experienced with the previous two installments. I'm not sure why this is the case - perhaps it was the reviews (good and bad) I had read, my own expectations (because I used to read heaps of Spidey comics when I was a boy), or was it because the person sitting next to me had produced a loud fart during the movie?!?

I'm happy with how they integrated Venom into the movie, too bad he was easily defeated towards the end. Unless there was a subtle hint, Venom did not appear to have survived the explosion.

Nonetheless, I'll be adding this movie to my collection once it is released to DVD. And perhaps my feelings will sort themselves out once I watch this movie again, this time in the comfort of home where I won't need to worry about nasty habits of others. Time will tell.
