Dear Brian Singer, THIS IS HOW U MAKE A SUPERHERO MOVIE!!!!

I've just downloaded the 270MB HD sneak preview clip of Spider-man 3 and the only thing that went through my mind was, "Now this is what i call a superhero movie!!!" It's a 7 1/2 minutes clip from the movie which was downloaded from the NBC website last night.

Great action and drama all fit to a 7 1/2 minute clip. Just the short clip itself was way better then watching Superman Returns. I dreaded watching that boring movie.
