Smallville: Action (2007)
Predictable progress and unpredictable twists
First of all, I believe, this is the most violent episode I've seen so far. Lionel's arm locked in a trap and following savage murder of his jailer... Argh, that was loathsome.
However all in all the episode is marvelous! Some intriguing, highly anticipated moments on the one hand and unpredictable plot twists on the other.
Rachel's acting is startling! What a scene, when she's massaged on a farm! Lana surely keeps up. There's so much tenderness in her relations with Clark and it's so skillfully played that it leaves no chance to Rachel's charms... Nevertheless their relations are exposed to risk due to Lana's realization that she may become an obstacle for Clark on his way to helping everyone in this world.
Won't tell you more not to spoil your experience.
Spider-Man 3 (2007)
Citius, Altius, Fortius... worse.
So, it is the third and the last spider-man movie. Due to that it couldn't but be epic, heroic,... Well, it surely does.
You haven't seen so many battles, special effects, character twists and brainwashes in previous two parts taken together. You haven't seen so many behaviour clichés without any reasonable motivation and far-fetched links either. It's undoubtedly very hard to pull everything together in one movie and avoid creating a kaleidoscopic slide show, but sometimes screenwriter passes all bounds and creates unnatural event sequences.
Notwithstanding all my previous grumbling, there're some marvellous scenes, which you inevitably ought to see. They are completely different from what you've seen in previous parts. No more jolly guessing on how to use the spider web. Even humor is darker, more ambiguous and more... mature (well, it seems to me the only appropriate word). And it's a definite advantage, cause you wouldn't like to see all the same in the whole trilogy. Every part should be distinctive and vivid, grasping your attention with some new attitude to narration and character developing.
