It’s a bit of an exagerration to show Spider-Man in almost all of the cinemas in Metro Manila. I guess the cinemas are capitalizing on the Law of Supply and Demand. Since there are a lot of people that have been anticipating for the Spider-man 3 movie, they might as well capitalize on it. In fact, they are so smart that they decided to have the first day of showing of Spider-man in the Philippines on a holiday (May 1 which is the Philippines Labor Day and a non-working holiday).
If you go and check out the cinema schedule, you’ll have a feeling that there’s some sort of monopoly going on. And yes, I’m sick of seeing Spider-man in all of the Greenbelt cinemas earlier when I checked the schedule online for my brother. And I guess that the other films that were already being shown in the US will be shown next week.
The villains in Spider-man 3
Sandman is portrayed by Thomas Haden Church. He’s the creation of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. He became Sandman when he was in a nuclear testing site and came contact with sand that has been radiated by an experimental reactor. His molecular structure was then altered into a sand-like substance which could in turn transform some or all of his body to sand.
Venom is the result of the bonding of Spider-man and a symbiote (an extraterrestial parasite). Spider-man activated a machine that releases the symbiote (black liquid). His body was then covered with this black liquid.
Harry Osborn is the second Green Goblin. And he will die in this movie 
.
ARGH SPOILER!
I hope it’s still showing when I get back on June 7!
Hahaha. It’s good to pull off spoilers at the end :p
Showing til June 7? Perhaps.. It depends on the other films that will be shown soon
i haven’t watched it so i don’t understand the hype. i’ve never been much of a Spidey fan, loving Batman definitely more—but of course i’ll be watching it. only because of sheer peer and capitalistic pressure, haha. your review is certainly helpful and will get me by through the film. ^_^
I don’t get the hype either. I haven’t watched so I can’t say for myself and I’m hard to please because of the art films i’ve been watching.
@aaron,
i love art films
i guess the hype is all about because of their aggressive marketing of spider-man 3
@liz,
getting affected by peer pressure? :p
it will definitely get you through the film until the end :p thanks to the spoiler hahaha
WOOOHH Spoiler
I managed to watch Spider-man 3 yesterday.
@Jeric,
yeah! spoilers! hahaha! It’s good that you were able to watch it even before reading the spoiler. But if you are a true blue Spider-man fanatic, you would not care much about spoilers because you will know what’s going to happen, unless they’ve put some elements in the movie that’s not part of what’s written in the comics
PSSSTTT! I tagged you! I wanna know kung me kaweirdohan din ang mga tiga DLSU!
@reyna elena

correction lang po… hindi ata siya green goblin 2 alam ko kasi may hob goblin din eh.. and they are different. tsaka sa movie lang ata pinapatay lahat ng villains sa comics kasi buhay pa :p

I will watch SM3 as soon as i have time:)
