Spiderman 3

Now all the buzz these days, or at least from those people close to me, has been for Spiderman 3. The film opens tomorrow with an estimated budget between 250 and 300 million.

Now when I hear that much money being thrown around about a movie, it should really be the biggest film anyone has ever seen in the history of movies. If not, why would anyone ever spend that much money.

For one thing, no actor is worth 20 million, they may be worth it to the investors to get that extra 30 or 40 million at the box office just for name recognition, but in reality there are plenty of amazing actors getting paid almost nothing. It's just how the business works.

Now to get back to my point, Spiderman 3 will most likely not be the best film ever made. From what some critics have been saying it is decent, but it misses the mark. This is what I have been expecting all along. There seems to be far too many characters and villains for anyone to actually make sense of anything. This can get huge films in trouble. If there is no substance behind the 13 villains, what are you really left with?

I am really hoping not to be disappointed. I will go to the theater with low expectations. I think that is the best thing to do. Whenever a film is incredibly hyped that is my course of action. I went into Grindhouse with extremely low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. For some reason the American public just didn't get that one, and for that, I will never understand the American public and their tastes.

So good luck Spiderman 3. I hope you are everything I want you to be. Which, frankly speaking, isn't a whole lot.
