Spiderman 3 is way too funny
June 11th 2007 06:42
What the hell?
I mean, the first movie was really good. A testament to comic book movies. The second was schmaltzy, but not without one or two fun moments.
So what happened?
Spiderman 3 is what. And it is one of the most unintentionally funny movies I have ever seen.
It did teach me a few important lessons, though.
I learnt that it may seem cool not to, but you should always wear a helmet if you’re going to go out on your glider at night.
I also learnt that if I ever get latched onto by an alien symbiote that makes me more aggressive and arrogant I will automatically start combing my hair down like an emo, wearing eyeliner like an emo, and dancing a lot to seventies and jazz music. Like a dork.
Lastly, I learnt that “…whether I make the wrong choice or the right choice, or if I don’t know what choice to make or whether or not I’ve made the right choice in the choices I’ve made so far, I can also learn to make the right choice by way of choosing the choices I make.
My friend Harry taught me that.”
So, really, Spiderman 3 was an education. Sure, it had forty themes, three bad guys, stupid character motivations, and a sad type of desperation which made it latch on to, and even change, a lot of the material on which it was built – but I think movies are about learning.
Learning to love, learning to learn, and most importantly, learning to laugh. And cringe. Quite a lot.
Which I did.
Hooray for me.
Please see this helpful, nice picture-toon for further explanation of my opinions on this film.

Don't worry, my phone didn't actually ring, it just vibrated, so I didn't break movie theatre etiquette. Anyway, after I enjoyed the vibrating for a few minutes, I ran out to answer it. Unfortunately (or is that 'fortunately') I missed the final showdown between Spidey and Venom, hence its lack of inclusion in this hilariously wonderul spoof cartoon that I drew.
Thanks for liking it, though.
