Twice this week I've witnessed two entertainment shows billed as events of the millenium.
First Floyd Mayweather Jr versus Oscar De La Hoya and secondly Spiderman 3.
Both, I thought, were over the top and absolute fizzers!
But has this what it has come down too? Is a movies success going to by measured by how well it does finacially in its first week of opening?
Yes, Spiderman 3 was the most expensive movie ever made and yes it raked back most money ever on its opening day but is this to say it was a good movie?
The woman in front of me remarked when the end credits started to roll, "is that it?"
Movie producers are misleading themselves if they think their computer generated graphics are dazzling us in the theatre, believe me they're not!
They can pat themselves on the back and reward each other with big grin eating goofy smiles thinking they've made a hit, but to the average Joe it's still fake and doesn't even look real!
What's sadder though, is that real actors and acting are slowly fading out of todays plots to make way for all this hightech robotic nonsense.
Kind of like the way De La Hoya fought the other day. And speaking of that fight....did it really need all those A-list celebrity parasites ringside to make that fight valid?
One hundred years from now people will be smirking about Spiderman 3's then computer generated images blasting the screne.
What trash!
I saw Spiderman 3 yesterday and I used a free complimentary ticket The Leader gave me, saving me $13. I'm glad I didn't pay to see this.
It's over the top nonsense.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the 2 main characters get married at the end of part 2 which was rather tacky and pathetic?
The only good part in Spiderman 3 was when Sandman falls into that military hole (running from the cops) and the swirling sticks make him Sandman because my seat in the cinema was absolutely rummbling I thought I was sitting in a 747.
I'm waiting to see Zodiac.
Oh and the movie was ruined by 3 asshole schoolkids who stole their way into the cinema and talked out loud the first quarter of the movie and started throwing things as well only to be kicked out later.
Doesn't it make you mad when kids feel the need to express their day just as the movie starts? Why do people get all tuff in a cinema? Gee I hate that.
P.S. I hope I enjoy Pirates 3 more than part 2 as I messed myself in part 2 as it went too long.
I had an accident.
P.P.S. oh, mark my words....Spiderman 4 will be made. They've left it right open for women to take over for the next one. The Blonde at the funeral at the end will avenge the boyfriend and make Peter/Spiderman suffer for embarrassing her in front of thing-O at the night club.
What will she be? The woman version of The Silver Surfer? And maybe even Dunst will become some avenging asshole parading around N.Y. lusting after Sandman.
