Spiderman 3 - Good Enough for Me

I understand that we all have our ideas of what a great movie should be, especially when it involves characters we've loved... characters we grew up with. When it comes to adapting such an enormous and epic story as that of Spiderman there are always going to be critics.

Me being one of them.

I've heard some say the story was lacking, the effects were too much and even some say that it was a waste of $258 million. And though I can't justify my staying up for the midnight showing with the quality of this movie, I still thought it was a great film.

The effects, for one, were frickin' amazing! I don't care what you say, if you hated the film with a passion, when I saw Venom (after he obtained the suit, because I saw that part about a thousand times online) it was so awesome to see one of my favorite Spidey villains on the big screen. The Sandman was great too and the fight scenes were phenomenal between each character.

I will agree with most and say the story was the most lacking. If you're as big a geek as I am, you'll know the story of the symbiote and how Spiderman actual got the black suit. I realize it's difficult to adapt such a huge storyline into a 2 and half hour film, so I wasn't too disappointed with how they handled the Venom story.

It may not have been worth $258 million, but it was definitely worth seeing. Bringing such a beloved comic book character to the big screen is a difficult task, and I thought they did well enough for me this time around.
