Note: This is my review not from anyone else.
Went to watch Spiderman 3 at Tampines last Saturday and it was a disappointment. Yeah, the money was worth it for a full 3 hours show not to mention the first half an hour is full of advertisements and slides asking people to switch off their phone or at least keep them silent.
I was sort of disappointed at the end of the show. The moves and the effects are good but i am more of a story line person. Same goes to X-Men 3 and Superman. Professor Xavier did not die during the battle with The Phoenix, Lois Lane did not marry some flyboy while keeping mum about Superman's asthmatic child.
Some facts about Spiderman which the director decided to steer off course.
1) Harry Osborn did not turn into some masked oversize wave board rider who calls himself New Goblin. He became the second Green Goblin after his father, Norman Osborn died.
2) Neither did Venom or Eddie Brock died in a bomb blast.
3) Venom was sent back to space as he cannot be killed by a bomb blast. Spiderman tied the symbiote to a rocket which is bound for somewhere in outer space but this mangy little slime thingy came back again which baffles Spiderman a little.
4) Eddie Brock is Peter Parker's closest childhood friend but in to movies they don't seem to recognize each other.
5) When Venom speaks, he would use WE and not I as a term to denote his bonding between the symbiote and the human host.
6) Gwen Stacy the daughter of the police captain is suppose to be dead. Remember the scene when Spiderman had to choose between saving Mary Jane or the kids in a cable car? That was suppose to be Gwen Stacy's part and she was killed in that accident.
7) Captain George Stacy is suppose to be dead from the falling debris during Spiderman's fight with Dr. Octopus.
8) Mary Jane was Peter Parker's 4th love interest after, Liz Allan, Betty Brant and Gwen Stacy. Peter doesn't seem to know that.
9) Peter has better looks compared to Harry Osborn in the comics which seems to be the other way in the movies.
10) Spiderman never produce web on his wrist. In fact he never did produce any. He depends on his web slinging equipment which requires frequent change of web cartridges and sometimes he would run out of web and fell from the sky.
Of course being a 238 million dollars film somebody have to look good, stories have to change to suit the audience and truth manipulated so that the story could end when the director says so. All in all, it is a good show for people who never read or know the existence of Spiderman comics.
