Must See Movies

Spiderman 3 (2007)



Director: Sam Raimi
Genre: action/adventure
Cast: Tobey Maguire (Peter Parker/Spiderman), Kirsten Dunst (Mary Jane), James Franco (Harry Osborn/New Globin), Thomas Haden Church (Sandman) and Topher Grace (Venom)

Today I’m gonna talk about some sequels that came out these last couple of weeks. Firstly is Spiderman 3 which was released last May and, as predicted, it became a box office hit. In this third part Tobey Maguire comes back as Peter Parker and Kirsten Dunst as spidy`s beloved. Also James Franco is playing Peter`s friend who now became the new green goblin to revenge his father`s death. But what about the villains? Well, every superhero movie has to have villains otherwise it would be extremely lame. If you think Doc Ock was cool you have seen nothing yet. Now Spiderman has to face not one, not two but three villains: The Goblin, Sandman and Venom.

Spiderman 3 fulfills your expectations, it is not a great movie but it accomplishes its purpose, ergo it entertains you. I must say it was below my expectations but still is the best of the three Spidermanmovies.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

Director: Tim Story
Genre: Action/adventure
Cast: Iaon Gruffudd (Reed Richards/ Mr. Incredible), Jessica Alba (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman), Chris Evans (Johnny Storm/Human Torch), Michael Chiklis (Ben Grimm/The Thing), Julian McMahon (Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom) and Doug Jones (Silver Surfer)

This one was much better than the first one. Better story, better character development, way cooler special effects, awesome villain and of course Jessica Alba. The first movie was alright. Every first movie based on a superhero comic book has to introduce the characters and show how they become superheroes, etc. etc. so they become kind of slow; also the directors see themselves very restricted by the studios and basically do the film the studios want. The first movie for the studio, the next ones for the fans.

Like Spiderman 3, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is very entertaining and very funny. Also they have a kick ass villain like the Silver Surfer who is played by the same dude who played the pan and the pale man in Pan`s Labyrinth.. (A little bit of useless information). If you like these kind of flicks you won`t be disappointed, just sit back and enjoy it.

Here are some other sequels that are coming out:

Ocean`s 13: the first two were really good, definitely a “must see” of this winter.

Live Free or Die Hard: the fourth in the “Die Hard” series, starring Bruce Willis, what you can expect from this? A lot of blood, explosions, and the world wide known phrase: Yippie-kay-ya, motherf***er.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: the fifth out of seven Harry Potter films. Harry finally faces Voldermort.

Other movies you can`t miss are: The Bourne Ultimatum, Rush Hour 3, Evan Almighty, Hostel 2, Mr. Bean`s Holiday, Resident Evil Extinction and my two upcoming favorites, The Simpsons and The Transformers.

Also I must recommend you some TV series like Grey`s Anatomy, Smallville, CSI: Las Vegas, Lost, Prison Break and my personal favorite Heroes. And if you want to have a laugh, watch Two and a Half men, The Office, Scrubs and my personal favorite Seinfeld (reruns on Sony).

I must apologize. i know that this article is a little bit late, sorry. Occupational hazzards.
