Supermn #3


This movie is filled with all manner of computer generated scenes that only a few years back would have made people rave about it. Now we sort of expect this stuff in movies as "normal" . Amazing how fast we get used to things .
Overall I found the movie rather quirky. You did not go away from the theater feeling gripped by the story or anything really. There was no real drama or tension in it at all for me.
But it was not a bad movie. Actually it may have been one of the better ones I have seen in a while. Here's the reason.
This movie made an effort to deal with some interesting themes (if rather ham fistedly!) Loyalty, friendship, the fathers love for his child, the problems we all have with miscommunication, the problems of perception, sin and its power, redemption, forgiveness, justice, and a lot more were all touched on.
My problem was I went to the movie set to watch a mindless action flick so I really wasn't prepared to process big themes. Strangley enough though ..and here's the quirky part ..I have actually found myself thinking about the themes in the movie long after seeing it.
Now that is something only a good movie should make you do. That makes me think overall Spiderman 3 was not all that bad of a flick.
Next time I watch it I will look a little more closely.
Maybe there was more to see than I saw first go round ..maybe less.
7.5/10
