I didn't hate the movie, but it wasn't good. I thought it was OK. I probably won't watch it again.

[Rawrthness]

you people are insane >_> that movie was the best ... 300mil to make it too a bit overboard i say xD

[Jitway]

I liked the movie. Though I agree Venom was too wimpy and beaten too easy. The Sandman was great. Really great effects there. Good movie all in all but too much of a love story for me. Since when was Spiderman ever considered a love story kinda of comic book.

Go ahead. The more in-depth, the better. I'd like to see a well-articulated version of how Spider-Man 3 managed to f.ck up so hard. I won't be reading it until I finally get around to seeing the film first though.

This movie just seemed rushed -- IMO, I would have saved Venom and maybe even a Carnage for Spiderman 4. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem as if there is a sequel planned? This was just stupid.

Yeah, the movie is just plain bad. As for SM4, it's definately up in the air. But nearly every comic fan I know hates Carnage (I for one, am happy he's dead in 616). I give props though, Topher Grace definately plays a good Eddie. Props on them taking the Ultimate route.

 

Also: This movie just makes me want to kill myself.

 

flock YOU AND YOUR DAMN SPOILER!!! I READ 1 POST! AND IT HAD! HAD! TO BE YOURS! THANKS A BUNCH JACKASS!

 

Ehh I'm grabbing it now.

>_> i never liked venom so i though him being so wimpy was freaking amazing xD

[ken_cinder]

I don't even need to see the movie to know they royally screwed up the storyline. Can't say I care to see it.

 

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Transformers is where it's at anyway!

[Rawrthness]

ew... i saw a preview a few months ago on Razer for transformers doesnt look good at all...

[L.S.D]

 

As what tons of people have said, the movie was a letdown and rushed. THey should have introduce the black suit here but hold off on

Venom. Let Spidey fight both GG and Sandman with the black suit then

have him have the struggle to get out of it. Then, move the story to the next series where the alien will latch with Brock and we can have a great 4th movie. A shame really, as they can really develop this 3rd movie into something great but still feel that it need to do an X-Men 3 on it. More characters = more fun......not! Suffer the same curse as X-Men 3, IMO.

Had they let Venom and Carnage story off for the 4th movie, wouldn't that feel like another Matrix though to the majority of people ?

[L.S.D]

I rather they do a Matrix than this butchered and rushed version.

Still haven't seen it, but it annoys me that they put out a movie that's been in the making for so long and it still seems rushed.

 

Sam Raimi came by the Opera House last week. I should've jigged uni and gone and set him straight.

Double Post!

 

I just went and saw this so here are my comments-

 

 

Venom should've been bigger. That is my only beef with this movie. Sure, the pacing has its problems, but the character development of the mains has been done already- really all that was needed here was a setup for some new villains and some action in between. Granted it wasn't perfectly executed. Emotion was lost on those few scenes that required it, not to mention that Marko couldn't pull anything expressive to save his life. Venom effects were cheesy in the mouth department, but otherwise he was well done too. To those canon-sticklers, tough. The movie did what it needed to do right, I reckon. It's just a shame Harry had to die- any moron could've seen it coming, but he was my favourite in this series. A shame.

 

Plot problems? OK- the butler changing Harry's mind about revenge at the last minute was a poorly concealed device. Fair enough, but he was torn between his father being evil, and wanting to protect the girl at the same time. It wasn't as though Bernard just swept in and brainwashed him. Also his bomb injuries? He must have inherited at least some healing abilities from his performance enhancement therapy. It wasn't as if he got off totally unscarred like the first time- he was pretty badly disfigured by the blast.

 

The emo thing? LOL. I loved it. It was the funniest thing I've seen all year. Seeing him do the whole fringe-flicking thing was a classic moment. At some points it felt like they were just having a stab at emo-ism, but I think it illustrated the, as Drake said, ability for the Venom symbiote to draw out the Mr.Asshole in even a nice guy quite well. Granted, some of my friends had trouble seeing past the hilarity to what it was actually about, but I had no problems with it.

 

Basically it all comes down to them trying to cram too much into one movie. Sure, the meteor at the start was out of nowhere, and the Sandman's scene with his family or the one tying him to Ben's murder seem tacked on, but are they big problems? Problems with the original canon are there in the first 2 movies as well, and while I concede this doesn't come together as well as they did as a whole, I really don't see what the big disappointment with it is about.
