Review: Spider-Man 3 (Andrew's Take)

An outsider is alienated from the world by his powers, but uses them at great personal cost to save a humanity that doesn't understand him. I'm not talking about Spider-man here, but Optimus Prime, star of upcoming toy commercial Transformers and a character most are happy to dismiss as empty. He has the same basic set up as Spider-man. If you want to get picky about ordinary, relatable humans and giant alien robots, compare Optimus to Super(-? No? Well fuck you)man. They're the same, yet are treated very differently. Does this blatant geek-baiting have anything to do with reviewing Spider-Man 3? Kind of. Read on!
Now we're at the third entry in the franchise, we're very much into 'villain of the week' territory. This is shown by having a load of unrelated scenes shoved together in the first act. How does a scene with Peter Parker being hopelessly in love with Mary Jane relate to a scene about a petty crook visiting his sick daughter? It doesn't. The underlying grammar of the scene change is 'here's this week's bad guy, so let's give him a motivation'. It is intertextual film grammar, based on the audience knowing what is going to happen in these sorts of films. They know that the unrelated crook is going to turn into a supervillain and fight Spidey, so all these scenes make perfect sense. Without that outside knowledge of the formula most of the first act, which consists of endless unrelated scenes of set-up and exposition, is horribly bitty and disjointed.
We're dealing with a standard superhero movie here, whereas Spider-Man 2, with only a small amount of reaching on my part, could be regarded as a real movie, with a story, theme, character arcs and everything, that just happened to be about a superhero. A good test for whether this will be a problem for a viewer's enjoyment is the introduction of an alien symbiote goo monster. It is introduced by simply landing on earth near to Peter Parker. That's it. If that seems too coincidental, too abrupt or too random for you, this movie is going to annoy the hell out of you. If you can accept it, and think 'woah, and alien symbiote goo monster! I wonder how that's going to cause trouble for good old Spidey!' (and let's just assume for a moment that we don't all know the various histories of Venom from Secret Wars/the 90's cartoon/The Ultimate line of comics etc...), then you're pretty much good to go.
Because this movie is cut from very much the same cloth as the first two Spider-man films. Massively energetic fight scenes that are always given strong emotional motivations linked to the current crisis in Peter Parker's life, interspersed with very simply shot scenes of relationship drama and a couple of wacky fun bits, usually involving JJ Jameson. It was a very deliberate approach by director Sam Raimi to alternate the fantastic with the mundane and, while I personally got a little bored by the talky scenes, they were integral to the success of the films. On the whole, the individual scenes, taken by themselves, are as good, if not better, than anything in the first two movies. Here's the problem though:
In the first two movies, in which there is only one villain, the relationship scenes inform the fight scenes and vice versa, so even when their pacing (especially in number 2) grinds to halt with long, slightly cheesy speechifying by Aunt May or moping by Peter, the overall momentum is kept up by a unity of purpose and theme. The magic came in how the slow and the fast fed off each other. In this film we have Harry as a new Green Goblin, a rival photographer, The Sandman, an alien symbiote and Peter getting into arguments with Mary Jane. Each storyline has a relatively intersting arc, but each one is picked up and dropped every five minutes with very little connection between them until the last act so that balance between slow and quiet scenes and flash bang wallop scenes is destroyed. The film has the same building blocks as the first two but, and let's keep this Lego metaphor, all the different colours make for a very messy wall.
All criticisms revolving around the pacing being off, the film being over-stuffed, too short, too long, boring, too hyperkinetic, random, meaningless and so on all come from this fast/slow waltz around one theme formula from the 2nd movie in a film that has at least three themes.
As a 'villain of the week' movie, these criticisms don't hold too much weight as the movie mostly pops along at a fair old whack and gives us plenty of nifty fighty action and otherwise entertaining scenes at regular intervals. Fans of good, stand-alone movies, or those who think Spider-man is a character of some depth (see first paragraph), will be left wanting.
Let's add some more criticisms while we're at it. The central crisis between Peter and Mary Jame is set up very badly. You see Peter is supposed to be acting very selfishly, ignoring MJ's pain at the loss of an acting gig so he can talk about his own life as Spider-man. Unfortunately, Peter remains one of the most gormlessly unselfish characters in all of movies ever and MJ simply comes over as a pouting, self-obsessed teenager. 'Who cares if you are saving the world, someone said I couldn't sing very well!'. Peter is never portrayed in the first act as anything other than trying to help. So the crisis is actually completely the opposite to what the movie thinks it is plus Peter's self-obsession is what leads to the symbiote having power over him, so that stumble over setting up that aspect of him doesn't do any favours for the symbiote story line. So, that bit is demonstrably bad.
Equally demonstrably bad is the final act fight. If we can accept that this is just a 'villain of the week' movie, the narrative shenanigans needed to reach the two-on-two battle are fair enough, but the fight itself not only recycles beats from previous fights but doesn't feature all that much two-on-two action. Sandman is rooted to the spot for most of it and Venom and the Green Goblin seem to appear and disappear from the fight with alarming convenience.
Back on the 'good stand-alone movie' tack, it also commits the sin of just being a punch up. Despite all those pacing flaws, all the other fights in the movie still manage to be motivated by Peter's emotional state, giving them meaning and heft. The final one is reduced to 'save the girl by punching the bad guy a lot'. Spectacular for the most part so it's hard to complain, but less involving then the others and, when the emotions and thematic stuff finally turn up, they feel corny and shoe-horned in.
So: a worthy enough third part but shows a franchise rapidly descending into, albeit excellently made, superhero gruel. I'll give it a seven, if we're counting, as I'm feeling generous and not yet worn out by a summer's worth of hyper-edited explosions.
Before I go though, I'd like to bring up the criticism of the evil-Peter dance scene. It's always a joy to read through the various reviews on the geek websites for films like this as the things they tend to get annoyed at give us a nice perspective on why we, as a group, are a very silly lot.
The dance scene is embarrassing, shameful, totally out of place, horribly made and kills the movie. Apparently. That all of the movies mix humour with straight faced heroics and slightly lumpen melodrama is ignored. That all of the scenes, be they fighty or weepy, are over the top, on the nose and cheesy is also ignored. The joy of the Spider-man films is that the over-the-topness is always grounded by Peter's emotional state. The scenes that work always start with Peter, in this case distraught over losing MJ and overcoming it through braggadocio and general acting-like-a-dickness, and then layer the entertainment over the top as needed, and the evil-Peter scenes are no different. It is also the companion piece to the 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head' sequence in Spider-Man 2, which everyone loves.
I would suggest that those who hate the dance scene are simply those think web-slinging superheroes are more realistic than a dance scene, think dance is a bit gay, and are only a couple of steps away from thinking Batman should be a hard-R. Danger!
As readers of The Fake Life are all blessed with great intelligence and snake-like hips, I'm confident that you all love the dance scene.

Review: Spider-Man 3 (Charlie's Take)

SPOILERS AHOY!
3 is a hard number to reach without something going wrong somewhere. When you get to a third film, trilogy or not, you start to wonder whether it’ll keep matching up, or whether this is when it’ll all fall down, especially with the demands of the modern audience who like every sequel to be bigger and more expensive than the last. Will this be the moment when the seams rip? Or will it be business as usual?
Spider-Man 3 has a lot of plot threads, so much so that I’m having trouble writing a synopsis. Maybe I’ll try listing the characters:
Peter/Spidey – Wants to marry Mary Jane, the city loves him, but he comes upon a black goo that makes him wear eyeliner and listen to My Chemical Romance.
Mary Jane – Terrible actress (the character, ahem), kicked off Broadway, thinks Peter doesn’t have any idea what she’s going through.
Aunt May – Old and Yoda-esque.
Flint Marko/The Sandman – Daughter is ill, he robs banks to get the money to make her better. Loves stripy T-shirts.
Eddie Brock/Venom – Competing photographer for the Daily Bugle. Doesn’t like Peter. LOVES the symbiote.
Harry Osborn – Still hates Spidey. Is running around in his dad’s gear. Loves doing James Dean impressions.
I think you get the picture. So we’re finally on part 3 of the Spidey saga, with Sam Raimi again taking the reigns, and also co-writing the script with part-time screenwriter/part-time emergency surgeon, brother Ivan Raimi, as well as Alvin Sargent who wrote Spider-Man 2. So it’s a Raimi picture through and through, and it shows. But that isn’t always a good thing.
Let’s talk about the good. Once again, the double talents of Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi are at the forefront. Maguire is as good as ever, and pulls off some pretty awkward dialogue with true aplomb. Raimi’s direction is – as usual – very assured, showing he really has kept his creative side, and especially his love for odd decisons (I speak mainly of the Black Goo POV shot) that shouldn’t come off but do.
The action is unbelievable. This is real breathtaking stuff, and it’s easily the most accomplished of the three films, especially when it comes to the final showdown. The animation work is sensational, and that leads me into my next point: Venom. While I’d like to have seen a bit more of him, he was just a joy to behold. The creature design, the attitude, everything just came together brilliantly, and he’s probably my fondest memory of the picture.
More plaudits go to the Sandman, or at least Thomas Haden Church’s performance and the effects. There was a certain comic purity about the way he was created – I can’t remember if it was like the comics – and the beauty at seeing him jump a fence that had a sign saying “WARNING: PARTICLE TESTING FACILITY” attached to it warmed my heart. The effects, well I don’t want to waffle on cause it’s really fucking boring, they were great. Harry, as well, was great. I wasn’t sure at first with the whole extreme snowboarder/ninja look, but that storyline turned out really well. Franco is a fine actor, and probably should’ve been Anakin Skywalker.
But this is where it starts to turn for me. I see where they were going, that they wanted to make this the big final fight for Peter’s soul and the final emphasis on revenge and ‘with great power comes great responsibility’ but it’s just so fucking overwrought. And when it should be getting more serious, there are some utterly misplaced scenes of comedy that just tear you out of the picture and make you bellow ‘WTF’ at the screen. Peter’s vengeance storyline was well-created, but then everything got so much that by the end it felt like a bad piece of meat sitting in your stomach unable to be digested, but finally moved only by the sweet dessert of the final rumble.
It just seemed, well, so inconsistent. The whole section where Peter walks through the streets doing his comedy James Brown routine made me scream with frustration. It was just ludicrous. And then the Anchorman scene in the Jazz Bar, which led to the one great point in that scene, where Peter schizos out on MJ.
MJ herself, well I’ve gone through this with so many people. The role seems terribly written, Dunst seems completely wrong for it and it hurts it because I cannot see how Peter can fall for her. On the flipside, Bryce Dallas Howard’s Gwen Stacy, like her comic book incarnation, didn’t really do much but still came out smokin’ hot. Funny how that is.
I’m in two minds on the whole Flint Marko backstory. The end scene between Flint and Peter is the best acted scene in the film, and brilliantly done. Yet a part of me wonders if it was really necessary to have the whole ill-daughter stuff, because perhaps it would have made Peter’s forgiveness a little more powerful? Have Flint still feel bad, have Peter forgive him and then turn him over to the cops and maybe have Doc Conners hook up some sand-containment prison thing. I dunno, I just sometimes like my villains to be bad for the sake of being bad. I think that’s why I like Venom, because he’s bad and makes no apologies for it.
It just seems like the flick needed some restraint, or at least a clear view of where it was going. I think it had the makings of a stunning film, but somewhere in the translation something got lost, and I never really felt much emotion which has always been one of the biggest successes of the films previously, maybe because it did seem so dragged out and so patently in your face.
Technically, the film was fine. I don’t know how long it was (two hours fifteen maybe?) but it breezed along, and I had a lot of fun watching it. The music was pretty bad, like Chris Young was doing Danny Elfman just fine until he needed new themes and suddenly everything went topsy-turvy. But I did enjoy watching it, especially the ending, which is as close as we’ll get to Spidey and his Amazing Friends on the big screen. But when I stepped out of the theater, I felt very little, only this middling little feeling in the pit of my stomach. And it makes me sad, because it could have been truly great. But it’s a fun silly popcorn flick, I dunno, maybe it’s my fault for wanting more? Answers on a postcard...

Review: Spider-Man 3 (Luca's Take)

By Luca Saitta
As a pretty huge Spidey nerd, there was little doubt as to whether or not I’d enjoy this outing. After all, this was from the same creative team as the flawed first and supreme second, right? I am happy to say this fucker does not disappoint. Raimi is a filmmaker at the top of his game, and it shows. Action scenes are kinetic, energetic, hyyyydromatic. They’re just short of greased lightning. The melodrama hits every dirty switch in the book, and it works gloriously.

Maguire is in his element once more as the misunderstood wall-crawler, although the “misunderstood” does not really come into full swing as much as in the second film this time. You could even say that this film is to MJ what Spider-Man 2 was for Spidey himself (if that makes any sense). This makes Dunst less of a dead weight than in the previous films, simply because she actually has something to do in this film besides being arguably pretty and an object for Peter to pine over. Aunt May is preachy as ever, but I liked her in the previous films. There needs to be a moral center, dammit, and this woman and her ghostly spouse fulfill that role with gusto. The Stacys aren’t in this film much at all, but Gwen is pretty and the captain is strict-looking. So there.

Villains, you say? James Franco ups the psycho-ante with his New Goblin, smirking delightfully throughout most of his scenes. Thomas Haden Church is an epically tragic anti-hero. His strangely poetic origin scene and climactic duo-battle with Spidey and some… others... are among the film’s many highlights. His “sick daughter” motivation is melodramatic as balls, but the man sells it. It certainly helps that Church carries his scenes so well, to the point that I totally bought the “real uncle Ben killer” retcon. Like Cillian Murphy in Batman Begins, Topher Grace is creepy before he ever approaches supervillain status. His freaky photographer (alliterations are cool in comic books, okay?) is a welcome change from the misguided Jekyll-and-Hyde types populating the previous two films. As he himself puts it, “I like being bad, Parker. It… makes me happy.”

Some scenes are sure to divide audiences. While the JJJ/Ted Raimi/Campbell bits worked like gangbusters, I heard more than a few groans during Peter’s dance sequence and his admittedly pretty long Tony Manero-style strut. Personally, I really dug these bits. Like 2’s “Raindrops” montage, they show Raimi’s style as much as the Evil Dead-reminiscent Symbiote-Sam-O-Cam shots, and elevate these Spidey flicks above the generic action blockbuster pap audiences are spoon-fed today.

This movie is far from perfect, though. It sometimes relies on some groan-inducing plot devices – especially concerning Harry – to keep the story going where Raimi wants it to go. The plot strands certainly make the film feel very episodic until about halfway through. They’re fun strands, but there’s still a fuckload of them. The film may very well drag near the end for younger viewers, as I saw a lot of them not quite managing to keep quiet after the final fight. Imagine if someone threw the kitchen sink at you, but he was nice enough to glue a bunch of nude pictures of Scarlett Johansson to it. It’s too much, but you can’t really dislike it.

All the news that's fit to print! Which, unfortunately, isn't really a lot...

I may be one of the four people to be actually looking forward to the next Indiana Jones, but it seems it might have gained some credibility, in the form of very hot Elf-queen Cate Blanchett. Not content with being very beautiful, Blanchett is also one of the best actresses of this generation with a host of great movies under her belt. Oh, and Bandits. There's no word on who she'll play as of yet, but we'll bring you the info as soon as a bunch of other sites have posted it. Or not.

The remake train is once again making another stop, but this time with a surprising choice. The Hills Have Eyes reduxer Alexandre Aja is ready to start work on the second remake of Joe Dante's Corman cheapie Piranha, which he'll write and direct. Piranha is famous for being the only legitimate Jaws rip-off, mainly because it's a huge parody of the film, and itself, and isn't afraid to admit that it's a micro-budget plagerizing machine. Check this out:
"Aja's cutting edge vision of this film is an entirely new take on the "Piranha" legacy and will certainly satisfy fans of the genre. Piranha takes place at Lake Havasu, Arizona, a small, scenic town whose population explodes during Spring break for fun in the sun and unpredictable desert freedom. This year there's more to worry about than hangovers and complaints from the locals. Havasu sits in a crater and when earth tremors tear open a crack in the lake floor, all hell breaks loose as ravenous razor-toothed Piranhas surface and people start to disappear…"
I'm assuming that's from the press release, but whether it is or not, who cares. It's fantastic. I cannot WAIT for this movie. But wait, there's more:
"Alexandre Aja stated, "My goal is not to remake 'Piranha' but to create a completely new adventure paying homage to all the 'creatures' films that made me fall in love with the genre. It is the ultimate popcorn movie that pits beer soaked sunburned spring breakers against killer, bloodthirsty animals. I am very proud to follow the path of Joe Dante and James Cameron in the 'Piranha' franchise and look forward to working with Greg Levasseur, to write, produce and direct such a fun and gory thrill ride.""
You have to wonder if he ever actually saw The Spawning.
"I went after the remake rights to 'Piranha' because I knew it was a tremendous title that hadn't achieved its full potential when originally made," notes IPW's Marc Toberoff. "Death by piranha is one of the most viscerally frightening fates in all of nature. There's a huge franchise to be re-launched here, and Alexandre Aja and Dimension are the perfect partners for it."
I have no idea what IPW is, or who Marc Toberoff is, and it's too early in the morning to research that, but his spewtalk is impressive. As an aside, it's never ever been proven that a human being has been killed by a piranha. They may take off your toe, but many of them are herbivores, and the likelihood of a school of them knawing a bunch of people to death is absolute zero, probably why Joe Dante made his mutated military issue piranhas. Bred to kill. Eating machines. Conditioned to obey their ultimate master, Kevin McCarthy, and the ice-cold Brit female scientist he loved. Oh dear.

Kirsten Dunst is awesome. Speaking at ShoWest, the big exhibitor convention thing, she received the "ShoWest Female Star of the Year," and generally chatted about whether or not Spider-Man 4 will happen (Tobey Maguire has already said he won't be in it, and Raimi has expressed his doubts, despite David Koepp apparently submitting a script):
"I told Sam that we should do a 'Spider-Man 4' that's completely low budget--'Evil Dead' style--where Mary Jane has eight children with very little special effects and then we'll get a whole new audience, we'd make a lot of money because it wouldn't cost as much and everyone would go see it."
Go, woman, go!
On being asked about making Part IV without Raimi: "Do they want to give Sam Raimi a heart attack? That's evil. Sorry, that's not happening any time soon. I would just say no for Sam's sake so that he can have a break. We would all do it together because Sam, Tobey and I are a team now, but there's no way it's going to happen very soon. I just can't imagine that. We don't have the story to tell right now."
Oh really?
Just kidding about that last one folks. Dunst then talked about the relationships in the film, and then got angry because she heard this would all be on the internet. Oh well.
I have no real issue with Dunst as a person, and as an actress, she can be very good, I just think she doesn't work as Mary Jane and is usually at the core of the not-so-good-or-bad parts of them. That and she's really not attractive. Still, check that poster!

It's Friday evening, I'm bored, and in a vain attempt to prevent this site becoming SethRogen.com, I thought I'd swing some superhero-related news your way. Aren't I generous?
Everyone's favourite webhead is back this summer, but he's back even sooner in a digital sense, following in the footsteps of X-Men 1.5, The Punisher: Director's Cut, and Daredevil: The Version You Never Wanted To See. Hitting stores on April 17th, Spider-Man 2.1 will include a whole eight minutes of new footage - including extended fight scenes - as well as new commentaries, featurettes, and a sneak preview of the third flick, out this summer. I've always been in two minds over the flick, as, on one hand it's the greatest superhero spectacle since Donner's Superman, and a pretty good responsibility parable to boot, but on the other hand, it has a lot of incredibly tedious stuff involving Kirsten Dunst and her lazy eye. Still, it'll probably be worth picking up just to see more Doc Ock. Click on the picture for the cover art, courtesy of DavisDVD.

The Hulk 2 hype seems to be gathering pace, and director Louis Leterrier has been mouthing off about the film on SuperheroHype's message boards. He hasn't revealed a great deal, but hey, it's a slow news day. Here's what he has to say so far:
"HULK is CG. We are using prosthetics for other areas of the film.
The main villain is "Thunderbolt" Ross. Emil Blonsky isn't far behind...
We're very close to casting Bruce Banner."
Right then. All signs point to this being a more straightforward adaptation of the character than Ang Lee's 2003 masterpiece. Whether that's a good thing or not, I'll let you decide (it's not).

Head-in-a-box Gwyneth Paltrow has been answering questions about her role in Jon Favreau's upcoming Iron Man, which is blasting onto screens in 2008. Here's what came from her gob:
"I play Pepper Potts, who's Iron Man's assistant. They have a very charged dynamic.
When do you start Iron Man?
March.
And what do you do to get ready?
Pump it up! [Laughs] I'm exercising.
So why Iron Man?
You know why? Because of the people involved. It had nothing to do with the size of the budget. It was like, if I got a call that there's a six-million-dollar movie, and these are the people, I'd do it. I've always wanted to work with Robert Downey Jr. He's a genius, and I had never been asked to do a film with him before. I'm really excited that it's Iron Man because I've never done anything like it. I'm really thrilled."
I don't know whether it's funny or sad that six million dollars is considered a low budget for a movie nowadays, but there we are: She's Pepper, she's working out and she loves Robert Downey, Jr. Phew, the world can finally go back to normal after those sensational revelations.

Dylan Baker Wants More Screentime Dammit!

Dylan Baker claims Spider-Man director Sam Raimi's got big plans for his Curt Connors character in the NEXT arachnid action adventure romp. We've been teased enough with the guy in the last two films, and maybe 3 will feature him sitting on a park bench, checking his watch, and winking at the camera while mouthing "The Lizard's comin', bitches".
Wait... so is Raimi doing Spider-Man 4?
Ripped from iFMagazine.com: “In this one I am still in my business suit and that’s all I’ll say. I’m kind of the guy that Peter Parker needs to come to whenever he has those quandaries about what’s going on,” states Baker. But then continues on to explain, “All I can say is we’re going to see a lot more of [me] at some point if what Sam says is true, and Sam is the guy who knows, so I am sticking with him.”And would the actor be up for being a main villain in the next Spidey flick?
“Oh yeah [I’d be up for that],” he exclaims. “I’m friends with Alfred Molina and I just saw him the other day and he had so much fun doing Doc Ock, that for me it’s a no-brainer. So, put it in [the movie] and let’s go.”
Okay, so we know Baker is desperate to unleash his inner reptile. But to this day, there hasn't really been any concrete word as to whether or not Raimi and co. would be back for a fourth installment. Baker's comments suggest yes, but I guess we'll know for sure right before Spider-Man 3 opens and makes a billion gajillion dollars. We do know now that David Koepp is in talks to return for writing duties on part 4, though. That's a start.
