Reviews

The ratings are going to change a lot until the movie is out of theaters, but I am visiting right now and see Spidey 3 with 7.0/10. 7???? Excuse me, but there is something wrong here. I'll start out with all the things that went wrong with this film.

1. Montage Sequence: Peter has turned darker, and seeing him flirting with ladies in the street was very painful the first time I saw it. Second time I was able to laugh it off because you realize how much the symbiote is affecting him.

2. Adding things: This is honestly the last thing I found wrong with the film. I disagree with character development, I think they gave just enough character development room for us to figure out who everybody was, but they were so dangerously close to falling short that people really believed they fell short. But you can honestly describe all the characters in the film; if you couldn't, then there would be a problem. Gwen Stacy had the least character development but she was only a tool to make Eddie Brock hateful and MJ jealous.

The first minute or so of the film was also cheesy but that was so short that it didn't distract too much from the film. Now onto the positive notes: 1. Villains: Who cares if there are three villains, they were all still cool. Sandman was a classic, Harry was the best, and Venom had terrifying power, beating up Spiderman the whole time and practically killing MJ. Harry was the best by far, I loved the fight in his apartment/mansion. That leads me to a little more about him.

2. Harry: After Harry's "accident", he becomes such a lovable guy and his character was the second best (next to Peter). Plus he become evil just like his father did and his death scene is phenomenal.

3. Emotional Scenes: The other films haven't tried that hard to make you cry, this time around you want to cry so bad. When Peter and MJ break up I was on the verge of tears, it was so hurtful to see what had become of their relationship and Peter was so in love that he could barely maintain himself (and this is when he loses it). Harry's death scene also had me choked up, since he was still good at heart and sacrificed his life for his best friend, and knew it was his time. How sad.

4. Darkness: I was reading one review that said in the film's attempt to be dark it become light-hearted and humorous and was not effective. I find this to be completely untrue, except for the montage sequence. After Peter's fight with Sandman in the subway he sees himself in the mirror and it is very scary to see him. Then comes the painful montage sequence, but it's still dark because of how cynical and distant Pete has become. The club scene was dark once he went up to MJ after his little dance number. When he hits her he sees the monster he has become. Before this though, the darkness and tension was almost unbearable for me. Once Peter runs away I wanted so badly for Peter to come back because I felt so bad for him (the last time I choked up during a film was several years ago, and I'm a guy so I normally don't get that sad). The church scene then comes and the transition between Peter removing the symbiote and it landing on Eddie was probably the darkest scene I was terrified out of my mind.

Fight scenes: All the fight scenes were well-handled; a little bit short but still epic in its proportions. My two personal favorites were Peter disorienting Harry's face and the Venom/Sandman vs. New Goblin/Spider-Man. The other two with Sandman and Harry were thrilling but didn't measure up to the fight scenes of Spider-Man 2.

Mary Jane: Mary Jane is finally becoming a woman, but with no one there for her (also kind of her fault since she never told Peter she was fired), but I feel bad for her too.

Overall there wasn't too much wrong with the film. I think the movie originally was three hours or something and they cut out anything that they felt didn't need to be there. I also was disappointed with the closing because there is now a cloudy future between MJ and Peter's extremely fragile new relationship. I really think they just needed to extend scenes and push the movie up to three hours, and make the montage sequence truly dark instead of painful. 7.0? Spider-Man got a 7.4, and this film was way better than that. It deserves a 7.6 or 7.7 at least. If they make a fourth film, they should not let Sam Raimi and Ivan Raimi help; blame them for letting them work with the script, Alvin Sargent worked alone on Spidey 2 which was outstanding. We WILL Spidey 4 because of the unknown future of Peter and MJ.

Overall, I give this a movie an 8.4. I don't mind if it dons't get ratings higher than Spider-Man 2, but it is better than Spider-Man by miles. Go Spidey go!

It's been two days since Carlton broke up with his ex-girlfriend, Paula. Now having the opportunity to snatch her, Will decides to go out with Paula himself. But Paula has the flu- and has passed it on to Carlton. Will is next.

Will catches the flu and tries to hide it from Carlton. However, he accidentally tells Carlton. Because Vivian is pregnant, they have to stay in the poolhouse- leaving each other to settle their problems. With the hilarious pillow fight and their hilarious confessions, the two resolve their problems. And maybe they should tell Geoffrey why his citizenship never came through.

Hi-lar-i-ous!

The ending of Full House is rather abrupt and is like a smack in the face instead of a real ending. Continuing from last time, Michelle has lost her memory and can't comprehend the world she's in. However, later she talks to her memory. They create an extremely unwatchable scene. However, her memory joins her and soon all is well. The episode is then buttered up and the ending comes off as very unfinished, a bit confusing (you might know this was the last episode), and stupidly. It's not even cheesy like the others, just random stupidities. The family seems so upset over the fact that she doesn't remember, but it is overkill. Then she comes down, smiling, and answers questions she conly could have with her memory. Then comes that buttered up ending with the last line being "We all live here." Then there is a family hug. It's really just sickening.

There's one way to kill a series.

After 3 years of humor from beginning to end, the Fresh Prince decided to try something different: a heart-tugging episode. It started out like most episodes, providing some great Fresh Prince humor. Carlton gets a pimple and thinks he needs Vitamin E. And why does he have a pimple? The senior prom is coming up, and he's nervous. At school the next day, Will tells a friend of his that he's beat. His friend pulls him to the side and offers him some speed just in case.

At the prom, will is asleep, and Carlton's girl is staring at his pimple. He asks Will if he has Vitamin e. Half asleep, he tells Carlton to check his locker, the place where he has kept his speed. Carlton finds it, and takes an extremely large dose, leaving only one pill inside. Next we see, Carlton is dancing like crazy, even break dancing! And then will realizes... Carlton is high on speed. And Carlton collapses.

Phil thanks Will for quick thinking and sound judgment. He even rewards him later with basketball tickets. Will doesn't accept it and tells him the truth. Uncle Phil gets really mad and makes him confess to the whole family. Will finally breaks down.

Great episode.

It's been 6 years. 6 years of laughter, tears, teasing, trouble, and most importantly, growing up. Will Smith is a young man. Carlton is also a young man. Ashley is a young woman. Hilary was already a young woman when the show started. Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian are two parents that finally want to be free.

And after six years, things have finally come to a close. Hilary and Ashley are going to move to New York. Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv have sold the house to a familiar face. Will and Carlton are going to college. This episode is a great departure for a great show. It provides laughter and humor. Even when they're leaving, there is still humor in the air (with carlton).

Sad ending. A must-see for all Fresh Prince fans and fans of any TV sitcom for that matter. After 6 years, Fresh Prince has proved it's still as fresh as it was 6 years ago.

Will- meet your father. His name is Lou. He is a poor truck driver who has made his way to Bel-Air to "see his son" and spend some time with him. He will make you love him and then abandon you forever.

This is exactly what this episode is about.

This is one of the few Fresh Prince episoded that tries very few jokes. It uses more of an emotional build-up. Throughout the episode, Will spends lots of time with his father, who is being pulled away from Uncle Phil by Lou. It even causes will to yell at Phil "Who cares what you think? You are NOT my father!" At the end, Will goes to leave with his father, but will says there is an extra trucker and cannot fit his son. He tells him sorry and goodbye. Will finally understads that this man is not his real father and says "Goodbye- Lou." And Lou once and for all leaves Will's life. Will first starts yelling that he "had 14 great yeas of his life. I learned how to fight without him, I learned how to play basketball, and I got pretty good at it, too. When I grow up, I'm gonna have me a whole bunch of kids and I'll be a better father than he ever was. Cause there ain't a d*** thing he can teach me how to raise my kids! TO H*** WITH HIM!" With that Will finally breaks down crying and says "How come he don't want me, man". And for once, Uncle Phil and will have a real touching moment.

Probably the best episode.

Zero average is what almost every TV Disney film gets because 90% of them are stupid. Meet another horrible TV film, but instead of having just two main characters to burn down the film, they have four! That means twice the disaster, twice the stupidity, and twice the pointlessness.

Raven Symone horribly portrays a girl named Galleria, who holds a passionate but childish dream to one day become a singing star. I don't know why she would want to, because she certainly does not have the voice for it. Her mother is supposed to be strict but she really just lets Galleria do whatever she feels like.

The rest of the Cheetah Girls are acted out by adrienne Bailon, Kiely Williams, and Sabrina Bryan. Adrienne is supposed to be this really cool girl, but really she looks like what they call "dumb blondes". Kiely plays a girl named Aqua (who names their child Aqua) who thinks she's 2-cool-4-u, but she truns out to be a more boring version of Adrienne. Sabrina Bryan plays a girl with little money who loves to dance, and it turns out she is one of many foster children. I know how the foster care system works, and she would not live in just one home- she would have to be adopted. And the fact that nobody knew just shows how unrealistic this film is.

The Cheetah Girls sign a record deal with a man named Jackal, the latest record producer whose been playing top chart singles. Jackal looks like a hippie who wants to be ghetto and dope, but he acts more like a man on cocaine. He is the villain and secretly behind their backs turns them into toddler artists WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE. So, other Cheetah Girls kick out Raven and they all wail "boo-hoo" for some twenty minutes. They are reunited when her dog Toto gets lost in the sewer (which you would have to be an 85-year-old in a wheelchair with a pit bull to have this done). Raven must sing to the dog for it to get out, so she calls the Cheetah Girls and they all sing to the dog and it comes out. Raven apologizes and they put on a show for bystanders, which airs live on TV (in real life, this could not happen). Jackal sees this, gets mad and THE END.

This movie is put together as unrealistic as possible. They pieced together well, or else it would've been a 2.0 on IMDb. 5 year old girls should like this and little boys who play with Barbie dolls.
