all right, I admit it

So I will admit that I like comic book movies (i.e. x-men, batman, etc.). I would, however, like to point out that I do not necessarily like movies based on graphic novels (in my mind it is different). I know that comic book movies, with the exception of the last two batman movies, are not very good, but they're not supposed to be. It is all about the corny factor, the awesomeness of the predictable storyline, and I suppose the fight sequences (but really it's about the first two). That being said, I just watched Spider-man 3 tonight and oh my wow. I had heard it was bad before seeing it, and I wasn't expecting anything great, but it was especially corny/cheesy. Really the only reason I wanted to see it was for the dance sequence from Peter Parker, and I have to say, it was totally worth it. Not only was the jazz club dance sequence ridiculous, but the scenes of him strutting down the street are even better! It's so bad it's hilarious!!! I'm not sure if when he was doing his little strut he was meaning to be so beyond cheesy , but that's how it comes off to me.

As bad as the movie was (even though I still enjoyed it) I will say I kind of liked Kirsten Dunst's singing voice. I would be intrigued to hear more of it.
