Sure, Supes had the power, but there was a certain chemistry there. In the new superhero movies, the hero tends to act whipped around his love interest. I like a good romance, but I don't like seeing a character who comes off as "the nice guy". No confidence outside of his costumed persona, and he winds up putting his love interest on a pedestal, worshipping her, even even she comes off as shallow, judgemental, or generall b1tchy. Batman Begins, the Spider-man movies, for example.

Spider-man 2 was alright, I just hated the typical angsty romance where Peter had no spine around MJ. "I can't be with you." "Now I want to be with you, even though I still have my powers." "I've lost my powers, but now I want to be with you. Oops, changed my mind, I want my powers back and want to dump you."

As mentioned before, in the case of the Spiderman movies, the love-interest between Peter Parker and MJ stays pretty true to the comics.

Wasn't Mary Jane super hot in the comic? Why Kirsten Dunst?!?

Also, was she an actor in the comic or a reporter?

Yes and who knows.

If you notice one thing about both Spiderman movies, pretty much everybody with the exception of Harry Osborne and Jameson's son looks more ordinary and not like movie stars. This was especially evident in Spiderman 2.

model turned actor.

what????:Q

I really hope thats a joke.



I was thinking the same thing. Eddie Brock was a big guy, even before becoming venom.

1 was a fantastic movie. 2, I wouldn't even give a passing grade.

Still, as a married father of two with a full time job, the question for 3 isn't so much whether I'll "go see it", but, rather, will I pick it up for $10-12 the first time there's a deal on it and the answer to that would be yes.

Still doesn't make sense. Eddie Brock was a fvcking massive tank before he got the venom suit. He just plain doesn't have a build for that character, no matter what his diet is. He'd have to take HGH to even get close.

Venom's Bio

I'd totally have to agree. :) There's no way they're gonna make Topher 6'3 and 260.

I think times have changed. The days of Steve McQueen slapping Ali MacGraw and she just takes it are over.

Spiderman was always an insecure character, so the movies are fairly consistent that way. What I find funny is that Clark Kent in Smallville is just as insecure, even though he has no reason to be. Perhaps writers are putting too much of themselves in their writing.

I'll take that as validation.

i agree that 2 was much better than 1.

i'm not a big fan of venom, either. i'd have liked to see spidey in his black suit for a movie or two before it goes over to Brock.

I don't think Dunst looks as good in Spiderman as she has in other movies. I think that is by design by Sam Raimi though. Like I said, everyone in the Spiderman movies looks pretty ordinary compared to the usual movie star looks.
