Seen Spidey?

“It seems that one person can make a difference, nuff said.” If i remembered correctly, that is what Stan Lee said to Peter Parker in the movie. Yes, the creator of Spiderman made a cameo appearance in this 3rd installment. Being a Marvel Comics fan since primary school, watching Spiderman (X-Men and the upcoming Transformers) is like a dream come true.
Collecting comics is an expensive hobby. It was about RM3.80 per issue at that time, and that was a lot. I have to keep some of my pocket money for it and decide which issues to buy as I can only afford to buy 1 or 2 a month .. and the ones i missed, my friends and I will talk about it. We didn’t lend or borrow as we wanted to keep our collection in mint quality. I remembered once when I used all my savings for comics. I asked my father for a piece of cheque of the same value so that I could order comics directly from a specialty store. He topped up a bit and I remembered being really happy at that time.
In a way, it taught me how to manage money.
Anyway, how was the movie? I expected more. Apart from great CGI and super villains, and a great final scene, it was boring. I think Venom, being a significant character in the comics, was introduced too late and too short in Spiderman 3. The movie dragged quite a bit with the love story of Peter and MJ. It does however, made Peter Parker more human. At some time, my daughter wasn’t paying attention. I was surprised as she really liked 1 and 2 and has been watching the DVDs repeatedly when she found out no 3 is coming. Nuff said.
Want to see my comics. This is part of my collection, Spawn and Secret Wars. There are more but I can’t take all out as I don’t want my son to see… ha…ha .. comics helped me with my English but those are my collection, I don’t want him to mess with them.
That’s issue number 1 of Secret Wars. The black costume, which eventually became Venom, was originally introduced in Secret Wars 8 (below). I sold that off and made money from it. Should have hold on to it longer but how would I know there will be a movie about Spiderman? The original black costume is much sleeker than the one in the movie. Pure black with a white spider logo.
Want a shorter version of Spiderman’s review. Read what my wife said.

@Kucau, best la kalau ada home theater, tapi based on personal experience sometimes it is much better to watch it at the cinema especially movies like this. lots of CGI and stuffs.
