I went to see Spider-Man 3 this weekend!!! It was okay... The special effects were great! The storyline was really good as well.
However, I think I would say that I like Spider-man 3 not for it's THEATRICS, but rather for its THEMATICS.
Here's what I mean...In my humbe opinion, the acting wasn't as great as I thought it could be. So, I focused more on the themes that could easily translate into our lives. I won't spoil the movie for you, but basically, it deals with anger, revenge, and selfishness in ways that it makes it very easy to relate. The dark suit (and the mass of stuff that causes Spider-man to have that dark suit) is a great example of what happens when you are completely surrounded and engulfed in those things aformentioned. That's not healthy for anyone.
The movie, then, helps create this incredible journey of self-discovery, and forgiveness. So, though, it may not be something I want to sepnd $7.50 on again... it surely gave me lots of food for thought.
If you would like to help design a Bible Study Cirriculum based on Spider-man...I'd be happy to place in my two cents worth. :)

We saw Spidey 3 this weekend, too! I wasn't concentrating on the acting as much as the storyline and the "big picture" which is something I almost always do. I loved the last ten minutes of the movie...one great sermon illustration!!
The Bible study is a good idea...although Lord knows when I'll have time!
