Spider-Man 3 (2007)
Spider-man 3 falls to Marvel's Trilogy Curse
Seriously hasn't anyone noticed that Marvel suffers from the Trilogy Curse yet? X-men 1 - good, X2- Great, X3 - AWFUL Blade 1 - good, Blade 2- Great, Blade Trinity - TERRIBLE! Im hoping that Fantastic four is going backwards and they got the worst out of the way cause if they mess up the Silver Surfer Im gonna be so disappointed. But seriously Venom being killed by a Pumpkin Bomb? Spider-man 3 was atrocious, MJs part did nothing but insult the audience with her false attempts at emotion that just came off as annoying throughout. Emo hair isn't dark either, its LAMMMMME. And as for the Dance scene the whole time I couldn't stop thinking of The Mask or that episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the dancing Demon which are fine in their own type of show but just throwing it into Spider-man made no sense. Venom who was supposed to be Spider-mans most unrelenting and dangerous villain had about a grand total of 10min screen time and no build up. This movie was thoroughly disappointing and and why did they even introduce Gwen Stacey just to NOT have her killed by the green goblin. It would have had much more impact if they focused on Harry Osbourne as the new Green Goblin and Venom right from the get go. You know....instead of just throwing some generic battle scenes in and 0 story. (also they could have at least checked out the comics a BIT before trying to throw a venom storyline together)
Masters of Horror: Haeckel's Tale (2006)
Late Night Writing?
I just want to say that Haekel's Tale starts off like the classiest of all the Masters of Horror leading you to believe that Haekel will have a Frankensteinish encounter in his lust for control over necromancy that would ultimately be his undoing, however it completely goes to the gutter when Clive Barker got bored and started writing up sick stuff. (In fact Haekel is undone at the hands of a zombie baby which just made me grimace in disgust when this easily could have been one of the best MOH episodes)You can pretty much time line this out to how it was written: At 10 O'clock he wrote the first half of the story, at 11 O'clock he started looking at pornographic material, at 12 O'clock he finished writing the story.
