Along Came a Spider…
I was telling my wife how much fun we would be having watching our first movie together with Spiderman 3 as the featured film, basically it looks like a typical boyfriend/girlfriend thing. Ok maybe it is, my wife and I went to watch Spiderman 3 but it isn’t the movie that was the big deal, it was the first time I was watching in a movie house in the UAE. It’s also about being with my wife and that I was spending time with her which we never did in a long while. I couldn’t imagine spending my first with anyone else.
I actually tried the online booking engine of Grand Cinema and I was pretty amazed that it was so simple. It was as if I were buying stuff from Amazon.com. I mean it is such a comfort booking this thing from home, printing it and then just presenting your ticket. On top of that I get a 5AED discount which I accumulate to get a free ticket in the future. I was quite pleased that verification was a breeze and we were in the cinema in no time. Though the process wasn’t difficult, Al Ghurair Cineplex still did not impress as the cinema lacked ambience and smelled of feet. l do like crowd number as it wasn’t too big, this means less noise and that your date will feel like the select few.
As for the movie it was amazing. This was the best Spiderman I have seen and very worthy of breaking the record set by its predecessors. I loved the New Goblin, I was routing for him when he was chasing Spidey and even more when he helped out. Some really nice cheesy comic relief, special effects and message of forgiveness and how we all fall down, I mean it had it all. It’s just too bad Harry died in the end. Although I may sound vague on the details, Spiderman 3 is a film I highly recommend. There is just so much substance in the film to tell what is likeable about it. Some may dismiss it for being dragging, while others may say it isn’t as true as the comics but with Stan Lee in the film sending out a message, I think you can’t dismiss that. I had a great time thanks to my wife, Grand Cinema and your friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Oh, and don’t forget the Subway sandwich we had after that.
