With Spider-Man 3 being shown in roughly 99 percent of all cinemas throughout the Philippines (not an exaggeration; take a look!), you are left with little choice if you want to catch a movie in these here parts. I mean, what about all those people who want to watch Pan's Labyrinth (great movie, by the way)? Or--God forbid--what about Firehouse Dog (no plans of watching)???

Even if you've been itching to watch Firehouse Dog ever since you saw the trailer, I still think you ought to take time to watch Spider-Man 3. I thought it was a fantastic movie, for a number of reasons:

• The action is just plain awesome. 'Nuff said.
  
• It becomes hilarious at the right times. This keeps the movie from becoming too dragging.
  
• The dialogue is downright cheesy, especially in the dramatic parts... and I love it!
  
• And it ends the trilogy like it should. But I bet they'll still make a Spider-Man 4 just to see how much more money they can milk out of the franchise.
  

With regards to its place in the Spider-Man movie trilogy, I thought it was on par with the first one. Some people thought there was too much drama, but Spider-Man is really all about the extraordinary superhuman guy with very ordinary human emotions and problems. (Of course, not a lot of us have had our girlfriends hanging from a hundred-story building in a web, but it could happen to you, you know.)

Can someone explain to me the whole point of Spider-Man 2?

P.S. I also think that everyone should watch Toei's 1978 classic Supaidaman. Think Spider-Man meets Shaider, but minus all the plot of Spider-Man, plus Spider-Man has his own transforming giant robot and new giant monsters in every episode! If you haven't yet, catch the first episode on YouTube now!
