Multiple Plots - why not?
I haven't seen the movie yet, so I'd like instead to comment on the reviewer.
Ms. Zacharek says "'Spider-Man 3' is the most ambitious and complex Spider-Man movie yet. Its multiple plots wave themselves around, defiantly declaring their unmanageability like Doc Ock's tentacles..."
This is a nice contrast from all the other critics who have pronounced themselves confused and bewildered by the multiple plot streams, and so they hate the movie.
I like to read reviews by people who "get" that genre of movie. Ms. Zacharek "gets" the comic book movies and similar melodramas. I can't judge how she does on the prissy art-house movies that Salon sophisticates groove on - because I'm not a sophisticate myself - so I won't say anything about that, either.
