Your Friendly Neighbourhood Hero Is Back!

I'm a huge Spider-Man film. I've enjoyed both the first film and the second film big time. I went into my local cinema hoping that this would out-shine the other two films... I was wrong. This in my opinion, was the worst Spidey film of the trilogy.

Now, don't get me wrong. There where so many good points to the film:

  • The fighting scenes are superbly done. I loved every fight scene. They where intense and left you at the edge of your seat with your eye's wide open.
  • The film also had comedy in it. Which is always great. When the comedy did come around, it was hilarious. J. Jonah Jameson was absolutely great for comedy in the film. Also when Peter Parker was walking down the streets of New York acting flirt-ish was superb. It got me nearly crying with laughter which is what I love in a film.
  • The emotional scenes in the film did drag a bit, but they where well acted in my opinion and they evened it out with the fighting and comedy scenes.
  • The creation of Sandman and Venom was very good. It was creative and intense. It was definitely memorable parts of the film, and of the whole trilogy.
  • The ending was dragged on a bit, but it left us hoping for number four and what will be.

As well as all the positive parts of the film, there where negative parts:

  • I feel that the film was rushed a little, simply because it had to fit three villain's in. Now as much as I loved how the villain's where in the film, I think it was a bit too much.
  • Gwen Stacy... Tut, tut, tut. What a waste of a character! I was highly disappointed by her role in the film. I think she should have played a bigger role in the film and I think she should have built more tension up between Peter and Mary Jane.
  • A lot of the film was predictable... It's a shame the ending was so predictable when Harry came and helped Peter.
  • Finally, the worst part of the film: The stupid, terrible acting of the female reporter who was for some reason suppose to be English! It was terrible. I almost cried... Then laughed. Why did they make the reporter English, and why was the dialogue so awful!

I'll be honest though... On the whole, the film was enjoyable to watch. With the bad part to one side, it was a good film. I've read a whole load of reviews on the net about Spider-Man 3. A lot of the writers of those reviews say that they thought the film was "terrible", "A great disappointment", and so on. The film in my opinion wasn't so bad. It was good and its definitely one to get on DVD.

Bored + Thinking = Music

Being bored can be turned into many things. Some people chose to eat when they are bored. Others put on a film or switch the TV on. And some are like me and put on music... The best thing since Manchester United won the Treble. For me, listening to music gets me thinking about life, the world... I put on my music earlier and thought about Blogger :P When thinking about what to write on my blog I thought I should write something about music.

Being my lazy self, I really cannot be bothered to write an essay about music. So instead, I'm gonna introduce to you my top seven favourite singles. Not of all time, but of now. If I'm still doing this blog in 20 years, then maybe you'll get a top seven singles of all time. But sadly, not now people. Right:


"Black Hole Sun" - Soundgarden
"Burn The Evidence" - Billy Talent
"Get Stoned" - Hinder

"Sorry Your Not A Winner" - Enter Shikari
"I Don't Love You" - My Chemical Romance

"Survive" - Rise Against
"Okay, Time For Plan B" - Enter Shikari

That's in order from "Black Hole Sun" being seven and "Okay, Time For Plan B" being first. Well, if you've never heard of any of those bands, then I would recommend getting shot in the head... Several times... With a shotgun. No, seriously. If you haven't heard of any of the above, and your a hardcore rock and metal fan, then please take some time and download them all. You will not be disappointed (Well you might, but I like to dream).
