Spiderman 3 hit the big screens in Australia on Thursday May 3^rd and it seemed like as good a reason as any to try out the new Birch Carroll & Coyle Gold Class cinemas at Australia Fair on the Gold Coast.

For the third installment of Spiderman, the big screen is graced with no less than three super villains:

• Green Goblin
• Sandman
• Venom

It was good to see the Goblin return to the screen in Spiderman 3. You couldn’t call him a super villain if he didn’t come packing improvements to take the do-gooders down and he didn’t disappoint. The most significant change was the new flying wing which is similar to a hoverboard from Back To The Future. It was good to see that not only did it look different but it allowed the Goblin to move with far more agility than the first version. The Sandman was a cool inclusion after having his body blended with sand in some sort of a particle accelerator. My personal favourite though, had to go to Venom. The black organism really brings out the worst in people and he was portrayed very accurately compared to the animated cartoon I thought. Given the raging war between Spiderman and Venom, I would have preferred to see a little more one on one fighting between them but I guess there is a story to be built in between the fight scenes!

Overall, I really enjoyed the third Spiderman movie and it was made all the better by the brand new Gold Class cinema we were in.
