My son and I saw Spider Man 3 this weekend, along with every other American.  Kirsten Dunst and Toby Maguire have never been my favorite actors, and still aren’t.  It’s the special effects that are the drawing card for most movie-goers.  The drawing card for me to Spiderman 3 was Mark Mooring’s review in Christianity Today.

I agree wholeheartedly that this movie is Paul’s struggle with the old nature writ large on the silver screen.  The spiritual implications are evident, but I’d still take an expository sermon by John Piper on Romans 7 over Sam Raimi’s screenplay any day.
