Michael Booth of the Denver Post wrote an upset review to the well liked summer movie Spiderman 3. His harsh tone and dislike for the third of the Spiderman series would turn almost anyone away from seeing it. Booth speaks to his audience as if he had seen a movie written by a child. His view from the first and second movies were completely turned around when he saw the confusing jam-packed third Spiderman his arguments of to many subplots and cheesy story lines can easily be considered action-packed touching.
The first reason Booth's feelings towards Spiderman 3 plummeted was because of what he says is a lose storyline.
The loosely woven plot of "Spider-Man 3" has more flyaway strands than Donald Trump's comb- over. With at least six major subplots tied randomly into a cloying,patternless weave.
I strongly disagree with this statement made. Yes Booth tells
the details of all the subplots later on in the review, but these subplots are what makes the film so suspenseful and interesting to watch. It does not becoming boring at any point because you are trying to figure out all the possible solutions for all the characters and their own situations. For example you look at all the possible outcomes that Peter Parker (Toby Maguire) can choose to do with his Spidy life. He can continue to be the dark Spidy that is selfish of he can go back to his old ways of the Spidy that saves the day just out of satisfaction that he is helping his city. With all of these outcomes in your head for each character the film does not ever become a bore to sit through so i don't know what this crazy Booth man is talking
about.
The second point that Booth makes to why he disliked the film Spiderman
3 so much was the overload of expensiveness to the movie. He feels that it was unnecessary to the film and felt as if it just made it seems as if it were a joke instead of intense fighting and suspenseful emotions.
Even the fight scenes are nauseating but unremarkable, for all their expense.
(Hollywood word has it that "Spider-Man 3" is the most expensive movie ever made, at between $270 million and $350 million -not counting another $100 million in marketing.)
Yes this is statement is true Spiderman 3 cost that much which is a fairly large amount for a blockbuster hit, but i believe it just added to the overall quality of the movie. I felt the opposite of Booth in that it gave the film a spark of energy that some films seem to lack. The big sets and upbeat fights where very well thought out by the director with the bright colors and expensive techniques used. Just Because they may have gone a little overboard with money does not mean it is viewed as a bad movie by the public.
Overall Michael Booth's review was a disappointment to me and i know to many others who enjoyed Spiderman 3 very much. It was a strong movie that helped wrap up many untied ends from movies one and two. I would recommend every to see it especially if they liked Spiderman 1 and 2.
