With the upcoming release of Spiderman 3, the final chapter in an exciting trilogy will become known to all Spiderman fans around the world. Fans should not worry, the third movie is just as exciting as the first two.
When the producers decided to start making Spiderman movies, they had to overcome some natural obstacles. Obviously, it's much easier to draw a comic strip of a superhero doing unnatural things than it is to film an actor in real life. Yet, with the current age of special effects, they were able to pull off a very realistic superhero with super effects. Spiderman shoots webs out of his hands that we know are all computer generated. He flies through the streets and over tall buildings. We know this is all done in a computer studio, yet it is so realistic that we let ourselves be convinced that Spiderman is real.
My big problem with the movies is the origin of Spiderman is not given justice. I am sure, the plot sequence was at one time more elaborate but got lost on the cutting room floor. I just don't buy Peter Parker getting lost in the science museum and getting bitten by a radioactive spider -- which in turn gives him unbelievable super powers. No, I need a bit more to understand how this kid can now think and act like a nasty bug.
I am also a little wary of the Green Goblin, his arch nemesis. Is it the professor? Or has some alien being taken over the professor's mind and body. And if he is just a mortal, why does he seem to have more lives than a cat?
In Spiderman 3, the Green Goblin is finally out. Don't worry, there are not one but two new bad guys for Superman to deal with. The action gets going right from the opening and doesn't let up throughout the movie (except for one or two touching scenes with M.J.)
Go see Spiderman 3 - or better yet, buy the collection when it is all out on DVD. The series is a timeless masterpiece sure to be remembered forever.
