I went to see Spider-Man 3 at Mall of Georgia today, but unfortunately the theatre formatted the film incorrectly. Spidey 3’s aspect ratio is 16:9 (widescreen), but the theatre was projecting it in 4:3. So it was just a box in the middle of the screen. I asked management if it could be fixed...
Tbh I’m only interested in Tobey Maguire coming back to the role if Raimi is at the helm. No Way Home & even The Flash to a certain extent proved to me that actors reprising their roles in other films made by a completely different team of filmmakers is no indication of quality. I was looking...
I also saw Spider-Man 2 last night and am hoping to see it one more time tonight. This movie has only gotten better with age. What gets me is how well the dramatic side of it is handled. That alone is enough to separate it from most films in the genre. That scene between Aunt May and Peter where...
Spidey 1&3 are the main ones I want to see. I’ve seen theatres do screenings for Spider-Man 2 since its release. As a matter of fact I saw it at a 10th Anniversary screening back in 2014.

Spider-Man was my Batman 89 in the sense of how much of a cultural event it was at the time. Spider-Man was absolutely everywhere in the lead up to that first film. There was Spider-Man Cereal, Spider-Man tie in’s in Kellogg’s boxes, Spider-Man Pop Tarts, Spider-Man Reebok’s, Spider-Man on candy...
To me the absolutely best thing about Spider-Man 3, and why I do think highly of it despite obvious flaws, is the arc of Peter Parker. I think it’s one of the most unique character arcs I’ve ever seen in a superhero film.
When the movie starts out since Peter finally has everything he’s wanted...
