The thing is, with a film so full, there must be better ways to present your ideas than dancing and pointing and hair flicking. There has to be. There must be better ways to utilise the running time.
Well, there was also fighting with normal people, the bouncers, and lashing out and hitting MJ.
Trying to kill a supervillan.
Throwing a bomb into your best friend's face, putting his life in danger.
It wasn't all strutting, and if you guys expected a Spider-man film to be ultra dark all the way through then you must have been watching a different franchise than me.
and if you guys expected a blockbuster movie to be exactly as you pictured in your head from what you saw in a trailer, this must have been your first experience of the phenomenon known as the movie trailer.
It's like making a romantic comedy where you devote time to a guy vomiting down the toilet and eating bananas in the nude. It adds hardly anything to the point you're trying to make other than, 'Hey, when this guy's in love he pukes and eats fruit when his girl isn't there.'
There's better ways to do it. Three minutes or not.
Obviously.
Nope, we already saw the awkward embaressing Peter Parker in SM1 and 2, if they did not explore what this side of his character would be like with the black suit they would have been missing out on something.
They did it perfectly, and it was a billion times more entertaining than the 'Singing in the Rain' sequence from SM2, which the Saturday Night Parker scene was intended to be a contrast to.
It was like a shy awkward person getting really drunk for the first time and overcompensating for their previous shyness.
edit: Mainly talking about the strut scene here, I thought the Jazz Club scene was far less effective, and was maybe a music sequence too far, but i don't mind it as much as other people do, it at least led into the scene with the bouncers which was interesting.
