Spiderman 3

Lori Smallwood a very sweet and hardworking Irish woman was my classmate not so long ago in the computer graphics class in Chicago. She joined Sony imageworks almost three years back and started working on her first project Spiderman 3. Today I watched it on the bigscreen AMC theatre in Atlanta near Cumberland Mall. It has taken nearly 3 years to get it ready because it takes so much time for rendering all those computer graphics and special effects.

Almost everybody I met said this 'The movie is hopeless and dont waste your money'. I was not surprised that they said this. Spiderman 3 is not for everyone. It is meant for a very thorough comic book enthusiast and fan. Only a few people grow up with comic books. I remember Isaac Asimov mentioning in his autobiography that he used to read them voraciously. It is a nice way to stimulate the imagination through vivid story-telling images. And since I was such a big comic book fan I loved this movie. I will say it again. I LOVED THIS MOVIE. You may compare with part 1 and 2 or you may not compare it with any of the previous versions and with other superhero movies. All the same the movie is great! Special effects, storyline (which is expected to be a big exaggerated and didactic as most comic book storylines are) cast all two thumbs up. My first theatre movie after nearly 6 months or more. I have been going thru some tough unsettling times lately and I am happy that I was able to choose a way out. I love the ending of the movie which seems to reflect my state of mind. 'the choices we make reflect who we are'. i walk away with those words resounding like the bell in the churchtower belfry in the movie. thanks for reading.
