Spiderman 3 (2007)

A movie of excitement. A movie of drama. And most importantly, a movie of action. As you all know, this is a love story but there is plenty of action to keep you interested. In my opinion this movie wasn't that great considering that some people say it was the movie of the year and blah, blah, blah.
It had the action but they could have written a better story. Plus with Tobey Maguire not in SM4, this was the last chance to make it good. There can't be a better Peter Parker than Maguire.
Plot: Spiderman fights more supervillians and the people of NYC see him as a hero. Peter wants Mary Jane to marry him but she's jealous of his fame. He is attacked by an alien virus that makes him arrogant, hostile, and aggressive. He must defeat the Sandman who is a shape shifter who is a good person who turns to crime to save his sick daughter. The son of the green goblin wants revenge on Spidey for the death of his father and the appearance of the Venom (a new villain) takes the movie over the top. Basically, everything gets worse. As I said before, this movie could have been better. I will say it again, it could have been better and for SP4 to be better without TM they will have to get someone who knows the comic hero and can act like one.

Rating: 7 out of 10

Coming soon: The Knowing (2009)

Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King (2003)


Yet again, another Lord of the Rings movie and the final part of the quest. My favorite of the three. Great battles, great music, great everything. It was one of the best movies of its year.

Plot: Frodo and Sam continue to Mt. Doom to destroy the One Ring. Meanwhile the rest of MiddleEarth prepares a final battle against the forces of Sauron.

With the help of unlikely characters - a man who understands the power of the Ring and Gollum, Sam and Frodo make it to Mt. Doom. But can Frodo give up the precious? Aragorn must decide if he is going to accept his kingdom and stop being a Ranger. The answers are found in the epic battles that occur. This movie was excellent and I'm looking forward to reviewing 'The Hobbit' when it comes out.
