It was somewhat better than awful, but not as good as ok.

The special effects (especially Sandman) were excellent. Better than that in Sandman's case. But the people stuff was sub-average, and I found myself not caring about any of them about three-quarters of the way through the movie.

People were popping up out of their seats before it was over--there's a scene that looks like the end, but there's one more scene.

I will be celebrating the completion of my last ever undergraduate assessment with people on my course, after 8 hours of listening to people's dissertation's presentations (and, y'know, giving my own). :)

[andrewducker]

A miserable excuse. But I'll let you off this once.

Good luck with it!

Really it was Fun rather than Great, but that'll do. Some terrible bits but oh so very shiny.

[pennski.livejournal.com]

Shiny sounds fun!

We tried to go today but everyone else in the Basingstoke area had the same idea 10 minutes before us, followed by everyone leaving the car part 10 minutes before us.

Just as well we had a Big Finish CD to listen to while we queued.

Icon love! May I steal?

[pennski.livejournal.com]

Yes of course.

I got it from someone else who had been given it by the creator who is apparently "happy to share".

As it's the name of my lj, it made wonderful "found art" for me.

[moniqueleigh]

Yay!! Thanks!

Might go tomorrow to the cinema round the corner and see it in Spanish :-)

[andrewducker]

Show-off!

Glad the conference went well. And that it's raining less where you are...

I like that icon. I also like the comic it comes from, which I could well have gotten from a recommendation in your pages. pixels. whatever.

Movie was shiny and very gripping, if not grand cinema.
Audience reaction to a specific scene still has me shaken though.

[nancylebov.livejournal.com]

When I saw it, lot of people laughed when Mary Jane was knocked down. Was that it?

I was trying to avoid spoilers but...

It was more that, despite very little reaction to Peter's kiss, MJ's kiss was apparently worth at least 20 men in the theater calling her a fucking whore at the top of their lungs (including the guy sitting next to me).

Despite that, most people seemed to be angrily shocked when she got hit though.

Whoops! This is the same person as sterlingspider, I just forgot that I was logged into a different account.

[jccw.livejournal.com]

Should be able to make it.

[jccw.livejournal.com]

Oops. Got dragged into a work dinner thingy tonight. Sorry!

[andrewducker]

Don't worry - I'm sure there'll be plenty of things I put up here. I'm trying to make suer it's a habit I get into.

It was o.k. The eye-candy was very nice as befits the budget. I have liked that characters in this franchise are not immune to death, unlike the case in comics.

It's amazing how audience reaction can completely alter the tone of a scene (referring to Bernard).

Parts of it came across as supers-group-therapy; too much angsting.

There were cringeworthy bits (uh, Travolta).

It was a satisfying ending.

I think three is a good number and that they should stop now.
