Last night we went to see Spider-Man 3. It was a good movie - not quite as good as the second, but still a lot of fun. They probably tried to do too much with the story line, and in doing so they didn't have a chance to develop the characters as much as they did in the previous films.
One of the things I have loved about the Spider-Man movies is the fantastic moral message that each of them has. "With great power comes great responsibility", etc. This film continues in that vein with the theme of choices - we are who we choose to be, and in a really cool twist at the end, forgiveness trumps all.
The action scenes are bigger, and the villains are more spectacular - a good movie by any standards. So I was pleased with the movie. It stayed somewhat true to the comic books, and was a lot of fun. I just wish they hadn't tried to do so much with it. It goes by like a rollercoaster and you walk out having had a fun experience, but it went too fast to take it all in.

Hi, I found your blog on Bekki's blog :) I've read a bit of your writing and feel at ease by your style. Eventually, I'll get back soon and make a real comment. I liked your interpretation of forgiveness in Spiderman 3. My husband gleaned the same theme.
