I feel that this is an excellent post... thank you so much, Muhammad Abdullah! I personally went and saw this movie and felt exactly as you described (about being jealous/self-hateful) after seeing Kirsten Dunst. Contrast that to when I see a Muslim family (I am not Muslim, myself), I see the beauty, simplicity, and grace of the ladies who are wearing hijab... and I have a longing towards that.
Some of the movie's sub-plots were okay, some were disturbing, but just enough "under the radar" so that it didn't really cause an uprising. For some of you who have seen Spider Man 3, do you remember Peter kissing the other girl? Remember him taking this girl out just to make Mary Jane jealous? Is that love? Remember the way that they were touching in the dance? Is that purity?
Do I think that this movie, on a scale of worst movies to best movies, tips the scale as fas as Hollywood goes? No. Do I think it's a movie we should all spend our hard earned money on, simply to propgate the Godless lifestyles of Holywood? Certainly not. Do you think watching this movie will be something we are proud of on the Day of Judgement? Only you can answer that...

Wait...if all television is haram (going back a page or so on this question), then why are there Islamic channels? And surely the news isn't haram? And sports (granted the clothing is appropriate and there aren't any cheerleaders)?
Asalaamalykum,
My sister and my friend today made plans to go to watch a movie(spider man III).
I told them tht i dnt want to go bcoz its not allowd in Islam.They were not very Happy abt it.
Wht do u people say.Was i right.Please help.
Wasalaam
Find me a channel that never plays haraam content in any way shape or form, and alhamdulillaah. Sadly I don't know of a single one.
Asslamo Allaikum,
In our Younger/Jahilliya days we used to GO to Movies NOT to actually watch movies!
I rest my case.
Those who have grown up in the US of A clearly know what I am talking about.

i've never seen it.. well except clips maybe... and don't they use Music? I am not sure... Allah knows best.
But i think it's best to avoid these things as much as possible...
No way i'm gonna see Spidy again... it really is pathetic, and now it's just emabarrassing watching something like that with family.
br. Globalpeace, i don't think you're old yet.
respected MyriamFatima if you like the simplicity of muslim lifestyle, you will love the teachings of islam once you know it, accept it, learn it and apply it in your dialy life.
i hope i can call you sister in islam soon
ameen
assalamu aleikum bro you got the point there...........lol all these things are such a futility and can lead to no good slowly but surly without one even realising it they close you in their capsle! one never knows when he is going to die frankly there are other hobbys that one can dedicate some time to once he makes sure his deens obligations are not getting neglected i don`t know sports,reading,.you got the choice..etcAsslamo Allaikum,
