Kathleen Ross- Spiderman 3

So I was dragged to see Spiderman 3. I've seen the other two and enjoyed them but people were giving the 3rd one a bad rap. The movie was too long and the conficts between the Sandman, Venom and Spiderman kind of played a secondary role to the true conflict in my mind. I think the real conflict was an internal one. Much like Hirata in Cold Fever. When spiderman decided that he wanted to marry MaryJane he aunt told him that to be married you had to put in front of yourself. The orginially thought he was ready to do that but as the movie painfully wears on her realizes he's not and before it knows it, looses her because of it. This internal fight that spideman goes through I found to be intriguing. Like Hirata in cold fever its almost like he has a lack of faith in himself. Spiderman turns into this cold, sly version of himself and creates havoc on those around him. While Hirata didn't necessarily turn cold, he was cold to start with and treated his journey as a burden.
