Yesterday evening we watched Spider-man 3

Ontem à noite assistimos a Spider-man III after having some discussions about “pastéis” and “Inland Empire”. I will explain myself… The thing is: I love watching blockbusters like Spider-man, Batman, Superman and so on, because those characters made part of my childhood and thus are very significant for me, since they helped to build part of my world of fantasy, action and romance. I admit to never having read the actual comic books, but I spent lots of time watching the cult movies (Superman and Batman) and TV animated or live-action series. My husband, on the contrary, dislikes those characters and the “blockbuster” concept that supports them, and for this reason I had to convince him, once again, to go with me to see Spidey on the big screen. Well, I have succeeded in making up his mind for about 10 times (as when we went to watch Batman, Spiderman I and II, Superman, and all the Harry Potters) so why would I fail now? Than I came up with a drama about how I did’t want to watch “Inland Empire”, but this didn’t work out very well… so I promised I would prepare him some “pastéis”… but I guess he gave in because he actually hates the idea of letting me go all alone. Now, about the movie: It was lots of fun! Like usual, not as cool as the first part, but still full of humor, romance and action. Something to eat pop-corn with, have a good time, and forget the morning after. I liked “Inland Empire”, but there’s nothing like a good fantasy movie to make my worries blow away (ariadne)

Gestern abend waren wir in Spider-man, and I have to say, that it was probably the best movie ever. They re-employed the old – and very creative – villain vs superhero theme mixed it up with a lot of unnecessary teenage problems and spiced it with a bunch of fortune cookie wisdom. I just wonder how many fortune cookies the writers must have eaten to have been able to come with such a really deep and profound movie. For those of you who might not have realized: this was actually sarcastic and not really the truth. I promised my wife to watch the movie with her and I was pretty sure that I was going to be disappointed. And right I was! Well, the story was more than lacking creativity. Moreover it was pretty boring showing a little boy’s relationship problems who really were not at all new for a standard Hoolywood filminho (pt. derogative for movie). So one question comes up during watching this movie. Why is he called Spiderman?! Instead he should be called Siderkiddy or Spiderboy. And all this deep wisdom like: friends will be friends or everybody can change the world! WOW! Tell me more about things I really never heard before! Plus, not even the part with the black Spiderboy, in which I had put so much hope before, were thrilling, instaed it was just like the rest of the movie. Pretty dull!
Concluding, I can say that Spiderman 3 was exactly like Spiderman 1 and Spiderman 2 and Batman and Robin and Batman Begins and Superman 1 and Superman 2 and Superman Returns and Daredevil and all the other movies that use the villain vs hero thingy. Why not let the villain win once? So my last words: PLEASE SPARE US MORE OF THAT JUNK or at least make it interesting! (christian)
