On the third showing it hit me. It’s not the friendship troubles, it’s not the morality issues, it’s not Parker’s charming nerdiness. Instead, Spiderman’s success is spelt with a capital M.J. If you think about it, the one thing constant in the plot of all three Spiderman movies, is that EVERYONE is fighting for that stunning brunette Mary Jane Watson. Peter wants MJ. Harry wants MJ. The bad guys know that to get Spiderman, they first need MJ. No matter how intricate the plot gets, no matter how many ‘Where do they all come from’ freaks and baddies are involved, it all boils down to everyone telling everyone else: KEEP YOUR HANDS OF MY MARY JANE. I tell you this Mary Jane is one lucky gal to be getting so much ah-ten-see-ohn. She is without a doubt, Sam Raimi’s secret ingredient for making Spiderman so successful on the big screen, with Spiderman and other villains as mere colouring. Take MJ out of the equation, and Spiderman becomes as clichéd, forgettable, and utterly missable as every other big screen comic book superhero adaption. For extra colouring, Spiderman 3 comes with a limited black edition. For extra sugar and spice, MJ has to compete with the equally stunning and beautiful in an entirely different way, Gwen the blonde. (Note: particular colour of rival’s hair is NOT coincidental) Spiderman 3 is nothing new from the first two movies, but it still succeeds because it doesn’t try to fix anything that isn’t broken. It’s a definite must watch.
This picture isn't her at her average best shot but Khai Ven...isn't she so Carrie Underwood???
2007 will be remembered as the year of the triquels. They’re all back for a third showing: Spiderman, Pirates, Shrek, Ocean’s, Resident Evil, and The Bourne. I know this is too early to say, but I have a feeling the rest will have a tough time biting Spiderman 3’s dust. Though I am looking forward to the next one, Pirates 3 if only to hear Chow Yun Fatt the Cinapek pirate say one more time: ‘Welcome to Singapore!’
