Spider-Man 3

[Tecknik]

Saw it tonight.  Not sure how I feel about it.  Right now, I just feel that if someone asked me to comment on the movie, I would be like "Eh".  I may need to see it again.  Maybe I just had too high of hopes for it?  It just seemed to me like it was way too much, and they tried to make it too over the top, and so emotional that they killed it in the process.

I actually enjoyed the emotional parts of it, but then again, I never read the comic books. I thought it was a very good MOVIE, I don't know about COMIC BOOK MOVIE. There were some cheesy parts, I'll admit, but I was crying very hard by the end of it,  sign of awesomeness.

I went with my friends and we laughed through the whole thing. "Over the top" is a good phrase for it. It was a fun movie...but not really bad ass. Come on... Emo Peter...heh.

That's exactly what I said T.  It was pretty good, but wayyy too hollywood throughout

[Pirus]

if you thought this one was too hollywood just wait until spiderman 4 with venom in it...that one will be terrible for the so called "hollywood" aspect.

[Tecknik]

Venom was in Spider-Man 3, and has a pretty prominent role. :p And Spider-Man 4 isn't confirmed yet.  Tobey doesn't really want to do it.  At least, that's the last I heard.

But yeah, WTF @ Emo Peter?  In the comics, he turned into a bully when the symbiote bonded with him.  I mean, they made him an emo bully, so I guess that's alright... The whole movie was just weird, to me at least.  So many things happened that were nothing like the comics, or even the TV cartoon show.  If you hadn't noticed, I'm a big fan of the Spider-Man Universe. If you are too, you may not like this movie.  I enjoyed it as a movie, but not really as part of the Spider-Man series.  Seems like Sam and Ivan Raimi pulled a Brett Ratner (Guy who took over for Bryan Singer on X-men 3 - Horribly fucked that storyline).  They tried to hard to make it a blockbuster movie like the past two were that they just messed it up for the true fans.

ah i enjoyed xmen 3 and im sure i will spiderman 3 when i see it sunday im a fan of both but not so hard core i wont allow a few problems here and there I can overlook a lot.  Now if it came down to Superman ... thats where I get very critical.  hmm no big spoilers but does venom get defeated in the movie or is that saved for a possible spiderman 4?

Watch le comic le movie! I think it's almost the same. (not giving too much away, might be a bit of a spoiler:


Le Church bells!

I'll just have to see the movie and judge it for myself.  These movies are by far the best comic to movie series yet so it can't be THAT bad.

Batman Begins is the other, but it can't be called a series yet.  we'll see what "Dark Knight" delivers.

Well that was a bit much too reveal to those who haven't seen it in my mind, but now that it's out...yes Venom is handled VERY well I think.  It's the other parts that are just way to over the top in terms of relationships and stuff... the action is pretty sweet.  As far as Emo Peter, I think he just shouldn't have put his hair forward like that and I would have liked him.

I honestly agree with most of what was said by Tecknik. I have very mixed feelings about the movie, and I'm going to have to see it again with lower expectations.

The main story, dealing with the emotional side of the black suit on Peter and him turning as you guys say "Emo Peter", was done VERY well. Sandman and Eddie Brock as well. I was actually surprised how well they covered the Sandman's story.

There we're just a bunch of little things that would've been ok by themselves, but when put together throughout the entire movie, just kicked it down a few notches.

I didn't mind the Emo Peter (I called him the Emo-Man) part, what I did mind was how long it was. I can deal with cheesy (they did it in the second film with the "Rain drops are falling on my head" part) but you can only do it for so long, the walk of stutting was WAY to long, that should have been a few seconds long, and I would have got it. The dance scene, was too over the top, and with Gwen nevertheless, which was just improper use of her, She was Spidey first true love damn it, not a rebound and a item to be used. Its like the love/rave scene in the Matrix Reloaded, if we just take it out I would love the movie to death, but that one (two in Spidey) scene really just kill the whole movie for me. Overall a damn cool movie, especially the tech side of it.

spoilers/My favorite part in white text

Best part was Mary-Jane started to kiss Harry, some guy (college age) just screamed out "Bitch"

My favorite part in white.

I have to say, the fact they had Venom talk with the mask on, with the giant mouth and smile was fucking great.

I wasn't sure if they were going to, but I had a geek-out when they did.  

[Jeyk]

I liked the movie, but they definately dropped the ball.  Exciting, but ALL over the place.  

The things that I absolutely didn't like about this movie was the whole douchebag-emo-hair-in-the-face bullshit and the "dance scene" which was pretty horrible, prolonged, and uneccessary.  I should at least get back half of my money for that.

My geek out was when Stan Lee showed up.
Jeky I likely the new avater.
