If you like Spider-Man and would like to see a pretty good movie about Spider-Man's origin and a story about the origin of the Lizard, go see it. Its a comic book film. Watch it as a comic book film. If you do that, you'll enjoy it, but if you park your ass in the seat with your "just gimme a reason to shred this movie on CP when I get home" glasses on, then yeah its a waste of your money. Who wouldve thought so many people would get such a big bug up their ass over a few cranes? Seriously, I lol'd.

The Emo Dancing and raindrops never bothered me much. Thats was just Raimys quirky style (Which i happen to like).
But i can understand why it pissed off alot of comic fans. This new guy Webb, sounds alot more like a conventional director.

Raindrops was fantastic.
The "emo" (god I hate that ****ing term, in general, but especially in application to Spider-Man 3) dancing only bothered me because it was so absurd. And so different from what I was expecting. Peter Parker infected by the Venom parasite should have played differently. It was a bold choice, and I can appreciate that. But I think a better choice could have been made. |

I thought it was ok. I, too, had an issue with Parker being so cavalier with his identity. I also thought it was a bit too slow in the beginning with not enough funny to keep us occupied.
Best part of the film was the way Spiderman moved. Very fast, very agile- I thought they did a great job with that, but definitely wanted to see more. Decent flick but don't think I liked it as much as the Spiderman. EDIT: 3D for this film is a waste of money. |

I’m glad everyone is blocking the spoiler info. Does Uncle Ben make it out alive this time?

The part where he said it took 30 min to put the suit on surprised me. Who knew? I guess I don't have a lot of experience wearing tights.

I thought it was great. The crane scene could have been cut from the movie, but I guess they had to show the citizens being on Spidey's side somehow.

Lol I didn't even see you guys debating that crane scene. I guess I'm not the only one who thought it was a glaring mistake in a pretty good movie.

That's a weird reveal, then. Guess it will be explained in the inevitable next entry.
Can someone give me a rundown of the current contract status with Spider-man and Sony? I know in the past there wasn't much chance of crossovers because Sony owned the rights, but I had heard at some point there was some kind of deal or expiration that was going to make it possible for Spidey to join the Avengers franchise or at least make a cameo here and there. Can someone save me from researching this? |

At others have mentioned, yes Sony has to keep making these Mediorce Spidy flicks or else they will lose the rights. Same deal with X-Men and FOX, although the last reboot of that was excellent. The reason they ditched Raimi was over money. They couldnt come to terms and Spidey 3 cost a mint to make. So they started over with a cheap director, cast and lower budget. My guess is they went back to the origin story thing because it buys them time for a new trilogy or whatever. Doubtfull will will ever see a crossover of some sort because i seriously doubt Sony, FOX, Marvel and Disney could get along and split up the profits.

I'm pretty sure there have been Hollywood instances of two usually-competing studios teaming up to make a film. I know Touchstone and Amblin' went in on "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" together (and managed to get Mickey and his gang on screen with the Looney Tunes characters as well). Given the kind of payday an "Avengers"/"Spidey" team-up could bring, I can see the studios playing ball. Hell, if that idea is too big, they could probably just work Spidey into the storyline of one of the individual superhero movies (Iron Man, Hulk, a Black Widow/Hawkeye film, etc.,.). |
