The Spiderman thread

I went to see it last night and it was pure shit.

It was a massive disappointment, they seemed to be no proper sequence to the events. Also considering how good the second one was just made it more disappointing. Tobet McAguire's perfornamce as Dark Spiderman and Peter Parker was just cringe worthy.

The last half an hour was good that was about it. 2/5.

Save your money guys, just download it instead.

i went to see this at midnight yesterday morning, and i must say it was pretty dam awesome. my only problem was venom could have been bulkier

Apparently there's some really gay section of the film, which takes up a good part of half hour, which just sees him going abit nuts, doing Saturday Night Fever shite, and playing jazz piano. This section apparently feels right out of place, totally surplus to requirements, and ruins the film.

Won't be watching it.

Was good. Did have some problems, a lot which could simply have been solved with some better editing.

....but I still liked it, just a bit of a mess.

Yes it was out of place.

As the bumlicker says what was the eyeliner all about and the hair, he looked so bent.............Spiderman isn't meant to be bent.

I thought it was really good, except the Emo bit, which was a bit weird. His change was so sudden.

It's because they couldn't have done it very easily without making 2 movies about it, they had an AWFUL lot to put in there, Spiderman getting the Symbiote suit, then him going emo, then the whole thing with Venom.

My only bad points of the film are that the bit with him just being arrogant takes a bit too long & makes you hate him, & then Venom was only in in for the end of the film, I wanted to see more of him.

Also, Venom as his name isn't mentioned at all I don't think, those new to Spiderman will have no clue of what to call him XD

Still, I thought it was awesome, I don't get all the criticism TBH...

Yep, that was the only bad a bit about the film, it was really cheesey, it just didn't fit at all.

I thought it was facking brilliant to be honest. The only problems I had with it were inconsistencies with the comics/cartoon rather than any fault of the movie in itself. The bit where he turned into an absolute cock was hilarious in it's cheesiness, and I think people are forgetting that Spider-man is not really meant to be serious at all... The complete and utter cheese is what makes it Spider-man/written by Stan Lee. Unless you didn't see the VERY beginning of the movie, where it sets it up to be nothing less than one of the cheesiest films ever, I don't see how you could think cheesiness was ever out of place in a Spider-man movie.

Overall I'd probably say it's the best one of the three, since I found 2 a bit boring, and after watching the first one again the night before I saw 3 I realised it's aged pretty badly...

It is meant to be loosely based off the comics or cartoons remember. They were pretty cheesy, & Spiderman isnt meant to be that serious. I actually thought some bits of it were really funny. I thought it was really funny when he just took off the Symbiote suit & his hair suddenly looked clich

All I can say is...CORNY. That was such a corny movie. Peter Parker going Emo. What...

Im watching it now thanks to alluc, I've paused it so it can buffer for a while.
When he 'goes emo' I was very disappointed and there needs to be more action, most the film is just about Peter and MJ
EDIT: I'd love a .gif of where Peter flicks his hair into the emo style

Since when did Peter Parker go EMO?

He's never been so happy in his black suite. So why is he emo?

What's that got to do with anything, that's just a look. Spiderman may look like that, but he's not emotional when he is like that. He's more EMO when he is normally dressed up.

Marzy, Emo is a look. That look. The supposed feelings are part of the look. You're mad.

I thought that the film was awesome

Having just re-watched both of the previous films this week i'd have to say it was just as good as them.

Major Spoilers
Definately a great film, but as said before, the sandman wasnt really needed, but i guess the whole Uncle Ben storyline was completed.

There were a lot more fight scenes in this Spiderman, and a few quite good ones, especially between Spidey and Goblin.

I found the movie to be quite humourous, and the whole Emo part isnt as bad as you lot all make it out to be. Toby looks pretty darn hot aswell

As for Megadanxero, the longer the symbiot is attached to its host the harder it is for them to remove it from them. At earlier points in the movie Peter only wore it for the night making it easier to take off, however when he went emo he wore it for a longer period of time, and therefore the symbiot had fairly much attached itself to peter.

In the game if you wear the suit for too long you will die simply because the darkness has fully consumed you.

I won't be watching this in theaters for sure. I wasn't crazy about the first one. I've only caught parts of the 2nd one and it bugged me. The commercials for the third one make me cringe.

It keeps acting like it wants to add some serious moments and some theatrical moments and such, but while catering the MTV taste and while being a movie based on a superheor made in the 50's (?) full of cliche and cheese. It's just a bad mixture. I'd love to be proved wrong though when I rent the DVD. What've I've read in this thread doesn't seem to be helping any, though (remember, I wasn't crazy for the first one).

On a side note, Pirates of the Carribean 3 comes out in this month. Now that should be one heck of a movie

I saw it last night. Just one word to describe the ending: SHIT!

They could had at least put a more colorful ending, why it ended like the first movie? The movie was good but tyhe finish trashed it...

I think the game will be better, I'm not looking forward the 360 version (better graphics), I'm waiting for the Wii version of this game (sick gameplay)

Just watched it, I thought it was quite good. The emo bit, though out of place, it was still funny. That's one thing I liked about this movie, there were certainly much more humour present in this movie than the others which is refreshing. The fight scenes were great, especially the last one.

Overall, enjoyable and great movie. Only wish there was more Venom.

I only need to ask 2 Questions:

Does Venom in the movie look anything like normal Venom... big mouth huge muscles....?

and is it worth spending

I thought it was good in places, I thought the transition from being responsible to an arrogant arsehole was too quick and pointless addition to villians to distract from the shambolic story.

I got bored so I stopped paying attention. Instead I sat trying to choke on popcorn seeds. Venom was pretty lame, considering what they could have done with him and sandman was too short. PLEASE RAIMI STOP, JUST STOP MAKING SPIDERMAN AND STOP PRODUCING GRUDGE MOVIES!

I saw it last night.

Spoilers follow:-

The Emo thing was awful. I felt it was patronising - as if the audience aren't going to realise this is 'bad' Peter without eyeliner and a Hitler haircut. I was cringing the entire time.

It was over-indulgent. The whole funky strutting down the street was fine, it just went on 4 times too long. The second film had similar quirky bits (I'm thinking the 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head' interlude) but they worked because they were brief and amusing.

I really wanted Peter Parker to grow a pair. He spent way too much time crying or with his lip quivering. I know he's a geek and a nerd - that's fine. But there were so many shots of a single tear rolling down a cheek.

Sandman - why? He clogged up the story. There was no need for him to be there. Venom was an interesting villain and deserved more story - but every different thread was clumbsily vying for screentime. They didn't crossover or link in any coherent way, they were just there. The whole movie was a series of different stories cut-and-pasted in a revolving sequence.

I liked the whole theme of duality (Harry/Green Goblin, Good Peter/Bad Peter, Spider-Man/Venom, etc) and that should have been the focus of the narrative - that should have linked all the threads together.

I did like how they did the Symbiote gunge and Venom was excellent. I also liked Harry's story, but the entire amnesia thing was the most blatent plot-device I've ever seen and completely unnecessary.

And why did Peter end up at the church at the end? Have I forgotten something from the previous films that makes it significant? I can forgive the coincidence of Eddie Brock being there as a contrivance in the spirit of the comics, but the church had no relevance to the plot - it should have been introduced at the very beginning and then returned to.

The way in which the Symbiote is weakened (the sonic wave wotsits) was clumbsily introduced, but I thought the scene where he forces it and Brock apart was very well done (I envisioned Spidey just whacking one of those steel poles on the floor repeatedly like a caveman:lol.

Short of re-writing the whole thing, it needed major editing. Some films you come out of thinking they were too long, but not quite knowing which bit you'd cut out. In Spider-Man 3 I was deleting entire scenes as I watched them. There was a much better film to be had in there.
