3, 3rd, III, Three, Trilogy...

We saw Spiderman 3 on Saturday night with Bob & Em. I thought it was laughable and basically crap (as did our fellow audience members from the pervading chuckles and/or groans). I know the third installment is always difficult but I expected more. Gaps in storyline that were more like chasms and coincidences that had us incredulous. My brother Nic reckons I shouldn't look for any basis in reality for movies such as these but obviously there's only so far my imagination can stretch. Oh well. Hopefully you might enjoy it more by having lower expectations?

You might call me naive but my expectations are still high for the plethora of third installments released this year like Pirates, Bourne, and Ocean's. I'm also anticipating the next installments of Die Hard and Harry Potter!

I had high hopes for SM3 - now I don't want to see it - is it really that bad????

I also have high expectations for Pirates, Harry, Bourne and Oceans - not sure about Die Hard... Bring them on!

Sorry Nixter. Didn't mean to ruin it for you. If you're a Spidey fan you have to see it. Overall it was pretty bad but it did have brilliant moments. The big screen is definitely the place to see it. Let us know what you think when you've seen it. I might be way off!?!

I haven't *loved* any of the spiderman movies yet. Maybe it's cos i never read the comic when I was a kid. Everyone else seems to like them, but I don't really have high expectations.

You didn't ruin it for me ;) Thanks for letting me know though - maybe we will wait for DVD..
