Spiderman 3 – Top 10 Cheesiest Moments
Posted by Jon Lee in Reviews, tags: cheesy, funny, humor, movie, review, Spiderman-3, top-listI just came back from watching Spiderman 3 in theatres. I’ve been told by friends that the movie isn’t very good and that I shouldn’t expect too much from it. After seeing it for myself, I can see why. Even though the movie was long (almost 2 and a half hours), it seemed like they tried to cram too much into one movie.
Without further ado, here are the top 10 cheesiest moments of Spiderman 3 (ranked based on amount of laughter from movie audience).
***** Spoiler Warning! *****
10. The Symbiotic Cell is a Bully
The alien symbiotic cell under a microscope shows that it enjoys playing pinball with other cells. It goes around “bouncing off” other cells to mark it’s territory. From a purely biological standpoint, it’s ridiculous. From a movie goer standpoint, its just funny.
9. Mary Jane Sings
Kristen Dunst sings. She should stick to acting, ’nuff said.
8. Peter Gets Dumped, Cries
It’s Spiderman! C’mon! Spiderman doesn’t cry and try to beg his way back into the relationship! That being said, Tobey McGuire is a suspiciously good crier.
7. Sandman Apologizes
To end the movie, Sandman all of the sudden decides to stop fighting and apologize. The transition from “must kill Spiderman” to “Let’s be friends” was so abrupt, it was as if they tried to wrap up all loose ends as quickly as possible before the movie went over 2 1/2 hours.
6. American Flag Pose
Spiderman comes to save the day and conveniently poses for a few seconds in front of a huge waving American Flag. Maybe it’s the Canadian in me but I think that was over the top.
5. Harry Switches Sides (3 times)
“I want to kill Spiderman” >> “You’re my best friend Peter” >> “I’m going to steal Peter’s girl and kill him” >> “I love you Peter”. Too much for one movie! Especially that last transition (see next point).
4. Harry’s Butler is a Surprise Witness
Harry’s Butler turns out to have known Spiderman didn’t kill Green Goblin all along. So where were you the last two movies? You could have set all this straight and saved everyone a lot of trouble.
3. Spiderman Turns Emo
Apparently, being dark and angry means you automatically have to pull your hair down over one eye and put on some eyeliner. “Good riddance” Spiderman? More like Good Charlotte.
2. Emo Peter Dances
Peter dances to the jazzy “Spiderman song” whilst trying to leave Mary Jane jealous, instead ends up leaving Mary Jane with a broken nose. Looks like a scene from The Mask.
1. Emo Peter Struts
Walking down the street like John Travolta straight out of Grease isn’t really all that cool, especially when all the girls are looking at you funny. Top it off with one of those quick change cuts and you’ve got yourself a cheesy moment.
I must say though, I didn’t think Topher Grace (Eric Foreman from That 70′s Show) could have pulled off Eddie Brock but the acting was good enough that I forgot Eddie Brock is actually supposed to be a hulking brute and not a skinny Photoshop artist. Might have been better if he played Sandman and had Sandman play Venom. Either way, if you haven’t seen this movie yet and want a few laughs, I’d recommend going to see it. Otherwise, no harm in waiting for the DVD.
