Spider-Man 3

A wonderful, exciting adventure in the best HD I've seen so far. Whomever said any of these movies was "grainy" didn't watch it on a TV as good as my Mitsubishi Diamond Series.
The story was great and endearing, the casting was great, Spiderman was perfect and the HD was breataking.
This is what good movies are all about: telling a story, using artistic means to do it, and have a great cast to do it.
And, of course, the ending was great too.

My son received one of these about three years ago when he was very young. I put it together then and he enjoyed it. Since he received that one we have moved twice and lost all the pieces. Legos when stepped on go in the trash. So, this year for his birthday he spent his own birthday money and bought a new one. He has loved it. He's 11 and he put it together by himself. I had to help when the dog jumped on it and broke it apart. He has spent hours playing with it and has totally enjoyed it. The other day he was frustrated because he keeps loosing the little beige sand bits on my beige sand colored carpet. But we solved that by using a towel under it to make for a contrast to more easily find the bits. Once he spent his money on it, now he's more careful about losing the pieces.

First of all, I was surprised as I read the reviews for Spiderman 3. For years, it seemed to me as if everyone out there hated this movie. I was wrong, it has received high marks by many reviewers, and I'm glad to see that. Because the reality is while this film is not perfect, it is still a good one with excellent messages in it. I think there are some people (and I'm not thinking of any Amazon reviewers, per se) who are so bent out of shape about certain aspects of this flick, like the way the character of Venom turned out for instance, that they miss the very important elements that are clearly evident in it. That's why I have written this review, to highlight these clear messages, and to try to give viewers a new perspective on a movie that is sometimes unjustifiably maligned.

For example, the topic of forgiveness is a very key theme in this film. We all need forgiveness at one time or another and I don't think I ever remember seeing a Hollywood movie where forgiveness is so clearly presented to the viewer. I'm tempted to reveal spoilers here to reinforce my point, but I'll refrain. Suffice to say, this movie is worth viewing for no other reason than to see pure, undiluted forgiveness on display.

Secondly, there are so many positive quotes that are true and profound. For instance, at one point Peter says, "whatever comes our way, whatever battle we have raging inside us, we always have a choice. It's the choices that make us who we are, and we can always choose to do what's right." Aunt May gives also two incredible lines. At one point she tells Peter: "A man must be understanding and put his wife before himself." In another scene, she tells him, "Revenge is like a poison. It can take you over and before you know it, turn us into something ugly." These are quotes that you sound like they should be in a devotional book or a sermon, not a Hollywood movie.

Third, there's another clear message that comes screaming from the scenes of this movie nearly from beginning to end: romantic relationships are hard. Again, I don't want to reveal too much, but Peter and Mary Jane go through incredible challenges in this film. It makes me think about how some young people can sometimes idealize dating relationships. There are some singles, for example, that refuse to be happy until they get into a relationship. These people should be counseled that dating relationships can be very difficult, and Spiderman 3 can be used an illustration of this fact.

In short, I recommend this movie. There are great messages presented that we can use in our every day lives.

Wow, how did this game get any positive reviews? First off, the camera is virtually uncontrollable. For example, in the first 30 mins. of play, you come to a room. You can see that there are 5 or 6 guys waiting to kick your butt. So I go in and the door shuts behind me. THE CAMERA STAYED OUTSIDE! So I was getting my butt thumped until I could move into the room far enough for the camera to get in. Climbing on walls and looking for things was very difficult because of the camera. Everytime I would try and straighten the camera to look for something, it would jerk back and auto-center itself. I tried looking for options to turn off the auto-center. There are none. I was tickled to hear Bruce Campbell narrating. However, his snarky sarcasm got old REAL quick. Truthfully, I stopped playing this game after the first mission. Frustrating and not fun (in my humble opinion).
