... oh... h~ohkai, now you've convinced me that it might be better if I didn't read the comic...

[Slade]

Despondent is spinning a web of lies. Don't listen to him, Gobbler!

[Despondent]

My 'spondy sense is tingling. It must be because Ben Kenobi was based on Uncle Ben. Remember? He died allowing the younger to come into being. So let's change the Uncle Ben story to mirror the ever-changing backstory.

Who's going to buy it? Aunt may.

I just hope it lives up to all the hype. I can't wait for Venom and all that goodness, but part of me thinks they might be cramming a few too many bad guys into one movie...
Oh well, midnight showing here I come!

[TruJade]

That is exactly what i thought!!!!
i mean they want there to be a

(sigh) fourth movie
how can this be when they've

put some of the best villians all over it.

I think it coulda been fine with
just Harry as the new Green Goblin and Venom

[Lord Aquaman]

I think they might be trying to cram too much into this one. I don't support casting Eric Foreman as Venom, or rather Venom's alter ego Eddie Brock since Venom will be a CGI effect for the most, and I don't support them using Gwen Stacy, a character's who's been dead for a while now, or the Sandman killing Uncle Ben thing (feels too much like Joker killing Batman's parents in the 1989 Batman film).



In respone to an earlier post - Last time I checked, Jonathan "Pa" Kent, adoptive Earth father of Superman, was still alive in the comic books.

[TruJade]

REALLY!!!!!
I was under the impression
that he does die before Mrs. Kent.
Maybe it's all that
Smallville/Superman Movies

brainwashing. I too felt that
making Sandman Unlce Ben's killer
is a bit far fetched. Like come on
it really couldn't be that full circle.
GWEN STACY... why did they

decide to druge this character up?
They easily could've
used Nancy if they wanted

[SPOLIER alert]

a Love Trianle/Square since
MJ Runs back to Harry

Why don't you like Topher Grace???

If anything he is age appropriate for the role
not that it matters i'm just saying
I also feel that Venom deserved its own movie.
like Green Goblin and Doc Ock.
If they do go on to

make up to 7 films as planned
then they're really gonna have
to intergrade more charters
and multi-villian movies (When do we see Fisk!!)

I think they might be trying to cram too much into this one.

thats been done A LOT in trilogies. from what i notice in certain trilogies,.it seems like the third installment always plays victim to the disease of being liable for making sure every tangible related speck of needed info is crammed into the final chapter,.as if to seamlessly wrap up the trilogy so that it still retains logical continuity to the previous two films.

the problem with a lot of trilogy films is that the storyline in the first chapter always feels the need to tell some elongated story. as if the audience is totally naive to everything, and must be hand-walked to how the main protagonist goes from everyday citizen into becoming so-and-so in this-and-that situation.

its overkill...just cut to the meat of the story, and then once youve grabbed the audiences attention, take a short retrospective step backwards to show how they got there,..but dont friggin dwell on it,.like its a history lesson.

This movie is going to suck balls and I doubt I’m even going to bother seeing it. Even when it comes out on HBO. The trailer doesnt even look that cool.

I remember how excited I was when I saw the previews for the second one. It looked it would be full of violence and explosions, but instead all I saw was Peter Parker crying like the little girl that he is. If I wanted to watch a movie about how hard it is to be a gay little superhero, Id watch Batman and Robin.

SM3 and Matrix Revolutions have made me distrust every cool movie trailer I’ve ever seen. Besides, Spiderman sucks. Batman would kick his ass any day of the week.

[civilian_number_two]

Well, if Batman knew he was going to be fighting Spiderman, then probably he'd win. If Spiderman also knew in advance, or if the fight happened with no prewarning, the Spiderman would win. After all, Spiderman is relatively smart and has superpowers. Batman just has his dumb utility belt.

I know you're thinking about the Frank Miller story where Batman beat up Superman, but that was just silly. Add Kryptonite to the equation and just about anyone can beat up Superman.

[optimus_prime]

the only two things keeping DC comics financially afloat is Batman and Superman,.without them..DC would stand for Defunct Comics.

Marvel Comics is where its at!

I'll second that. Except for the Superman thing. Superman is lame. So lame in fact, I'm not even going to bother to explain why.

[Chefelf]

Yeah, I'd put my $$ on Spider-Man in that fight. After all, he has real super powers, not just the ability to sleep upside down and pretend he's a bat.

As for Spider-Man 3 I'm intrigued by it but I'm really concerned about the storyline. The original movie was fairly faithful to the comic book but this one seems to totally change the store (and completely change the look as well) of how he got the symbiotic alien suit.

The other thing is it seems to be upping the ante too much with the villains. The problem with so many superhero movie sequels is that they feel the need to continue adding more and more villains. Isn't one vilalin (two TOPS) enough per movie?

I'm guessing (and I haven't really read much about this movie at all) that Venom is introduced towards the end of the film. Still, it seems to me that his story is interesting enough to not have to jam him in with two other villains.

Also, Sandman and Hobgoblin have to be two of the lamest Spider-Man villains ever. The only one I can think of off the top of my head that is worse is that guy that was like a Vulture (probably called The Vulture).

[Slade]

The problem with Foreman as Brock is that Brock is negated as a foil for Spidey. Brock is a really big guy in the comics, not another scrawny dude. Please don't argue with me over the literary elements of Spider-Man, because I really just mean "Eddie Brock was a big guy in the series." I can't back up foil stuff. And how can you marry Kirsten Dunst and still be considered gay?

Ummm pardon my French but Le WHAT?!?!?!
Everyone knows Bats rocks the casbah
b/c he's like the everyday guy
with more money who decides to

do sumthing about the crime in his city.
Spidey is only relatively smart b/c of the spiderbite
for Bruce its all in his head, d'accord ?
Superman was born a hero.
I only feel for him in his younger
years as he tries to be human

If it weren't for Smallville
i'd hate him entirely. In my opinon
kryptonite should be widely distributed
to the masses..... down with Supes!
(the character not the night lifer)


Back to Spiderguy

Lets not forget how sappy the
writting was in 1 & 2 when
Peter has his little soliloquies
on MJ and how much he loves

her, and can't live without
her and blah blah blah
Don't get me wrong i like a little romance
especially when its done right,

but i can't shake the feeling
that as Spidey turns do the darkside
the movie will turn into
one huge soap opera

as MJ tries to understand Peter
and he becomes interested in Gwen,
then he tries to win MJ back
and so on.

There better be a heck of a
lot of action giong on in between
Thats what saved the last movie
and i have a little faith in
Sam Raimi to get the job done
