Spider-Man: Three thoughts

[thebitterguy]

1) Well, I guess if I enjoyed one movie that was actually two films in one, I can't see why I wouldn't enjoy this one.

2) Thank God they keep Ratner off of it.

3) Spider-Man 4: Enter the Black Cat, starring zoebell as Felicia Hardy. Come on, you want it.

3a) Man, were Gwen & The Captain (no relation to The Captain and Tenille) wasted. Does anyone still give a shit about Gwen Stacy, anyway?

Considering how much of a muddled mess it COULD have been (i.e. Batman & Robin, X-Men 3), Raimi practically performed a miracle.

While my emotional response to SM3 is "hey, it was an okay matinee movie," the more I think about the (realtive) deftness of taking three villains and braiding their stories together to reinforces aspects of the others (and Spider-Man's), I'm quite impressed.

I actually think the movie needs to be maybe 10 minutes longer, to get full closure on the various character threads -- a couple seemed dropped or abridged, probably due to editing.
