Spiderman 3 and the Fears of Fans
Can you feel it?
Hear it swooshing in on the wind?
Watch it as it prattles and slithers about interivews, speculation, and hot gossip?
Put your hands to your ears to hear those scarlet whispers and I pray they don't bleed.
What are they about?
Well, it's all about this summer's anxiously awaited movie. It has big stars, a billion dollar franchise, and the next installment…no, this isn’t the next Star Trek movie, though gods know we need another one.
And, no, I'm not talking pirates, ogres, or transformers!
No, it’s the latest Spiderman movie. And loyal fans, I know exactly what you’re thinking. Because I’m thinking it too. I woke up last night in a cold sweat at the terrorizing possibility.
See, the last time there was a billion-dollar franchise release with a host of big name stars and a comic book hero of great renown, we got Batman Forever with wimpy Val Kilmer!You can stop screaming now. I’m sorry I had to mention it in this column, but yes, you’re worried that the latest Spiderman movie will be reduced to such, such, well, crap, don’t be.
For one thing, this installment of Spidy has the same director and the same essential cast. We’ve come to trust Kirstin, Toby and the gang to do their jobs well. That already puts this third-timer a foot of growth over the Val Kilmer uninspired Batman thirdster.
But that remains to be seen, of course, as the movie hasn’t opened yet Come on FRIDAY!
As an avid comic book reader and movie watcher, Spiderman isn’t my favorite, Batman is, of course, followed closely by X-Men, but Spidy is definitely worth watching because you know the cast, director, and script writer will give a good damn show.‘
Nuff said.
