Are you guys getting as hyped up as I am about Spider-Man 3? Man, I hope it lives up to the hype. I hope the hype doesn't kill it. Hype, hype, hype. Honestly: It'll probably be so-so to be honest. There's been improvement since the first was made, but I think Spider Man 2 gets the credit it does because it hit the right chord and got lucky. One wasn't bad, since it was popcorn theater. So two had a bigger budget and tried to become something more. Now, three (if you factor in advertising) supposedly has a budget between three hundred and five hundred million. I should hold off on seeing it until next week so I don't support it's opening numbers, but like I mentioned before... hype.
Hype is probably also why I'll see Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer too. If it's never been I mentioned here, I hated the first one. Flat out. I watched it on DVD over four days because it interested me so little. I think I even did laundry while it was on. For a group that's supposed to function as a unit, you can't keep giving everyone their own plot strands, it makes for a confusing movie. I mean, it's not like they're Power Rangers: The Movie. That's a once in a lifetime cinematic classic that simultaneously presents the Rangers both as people and as Super Heroes. I certainly didn't expect that much of a gem. But what I got was more like Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. Talk about flip-flop.
Ah well. Opening weekend for Spider Man 3: 94 Million.
