Movie: Spider Man 3

Last night Allison and I went with our friend James to see Spider Man 3. We went up to the Regal cinemas in Hooksett New Hampshire. I like the Regal cinemas because they have a cinema club and offer free popcorn Tuesdays, that is a good deal. Apparently James used to work at this theater back when it opened. I remember going there when I was back in College.we probably passed each other at some point.

The movie was a decent popcorn movie for the summer and weighs in at 2 hours 20 minutes. So it was long. There were some spectacular special effects. The story wasn’t too bad and I love the cameos by Stan Lee and Bruce Campbell. I love it when they show up in the movie.

Topher grace played a very good Eddie Brock. Though he did not get enough screen time in my opinion. I did like how they made the Sandman and they used him pretty well. I enjoyed how we finally get the full picture of the death of Uncle Ben.

What I found weird was how the black suit made Peter some sort of cheesy 70’s disco dancer on the street. So weird. A web comic that I read sums it up pretty well. Here is hos take on Spiderman 3.

All in all I liked the movie and it fits well into the Spiderman movie franchise. I look forward to each one when it comes out.

Comics: Transformer’s Movie Prequels

I just finished reading issue #4 of the Transformer’s Movie Prequels. I like the set up of this 4 issue series. And I am of course very excited about seeing the movie on June 28th. There is so much Transformer’s Information out there right now. Apparently there are a couple versions of the ‘final’ trailer, there is a different one for Shrek than there is for Pirates 3.

But as far as the movie prequel books are concerned we learn a lot about the history of why the Transformers are on Earth. We learn many things about the Witwicky family history and how they are tied closely to the Transformers.

After reading these books I have an even better feeling about this movie. I am getting sick of the naysayers who are complaining about the robot designs and how they don’t look G1 (That is Generation one the toys from 1984 which is the bible for TF fundamentalists). I’m sick of people saying that there are too many humans in the movie and in the comic books. Look, humans played a role in almost every episode of the Transformers cartoon and comic book. They are essential to the story.

And for the love of Primus (creator of the Transformers) stop with the whining about Flames on Prime and the fact that he is a long nosed truck as opposed to a flat nosed Mack truck. And yes Bumblebee is a Camaro, so what. You are going to see that Bumblebee’s essence, that which made him so tied to the humans is going to be retained. And it doesn’t matter that he is not a VW bug, it simple doesn’t matter. This movie is going to be awesome and hopefully that will shut down the naysayers for a while, till Transformers II comes out. But I doubt it.
