Ugh, I'd rather they make a Spider-Pig movie instead. Spider-Man 3 was terrible.

I really thought he was perfect for the part - he acts naturally exactly how Peter Parker acted in the comic books :p

Hopefully they can find a Mary Jane that doesn't look like Parker just picked up from the trailer park.

I liked all three Spiderman films. I take them for what they are. I am not expecting deep story or character development from them. I want to see Spiderman fighting bad guys and that's what I got to see. :)

1 and 2 were brilliant. 3 was awful. I didn't like the way they made Peter be such a douche bag to Mary Jane -- I can't see how that romance will ever survive that.

Wasn't the point of making him emo-spidey to show how the suit was effecting his personality?

That part didn't really bother me. What did was the way they handled Venom. They should have made him psychotic and irrational along the lines of the joker in Dark Knight.

Everything was bad with #3. They killed off Venom (unless they pull some rip in time continuom crap....he is not coming back)....They killed off Harry....They killed teh relationship with Mary Jane.....I think they should have just killed spiderman. It would have ended the same way...with no good feasible storyline for a sequal.

never count out Venom. he has "died" a few times in teh comics and always comes back. ..or change host.

Seriously. Who's left? The fucking Vulture?

what's he gonna do? shake his cane at Spidey and scowl?

Let's see... who could be left... I can't think of a single villain they haven't used yet...

We're trying to make Spiderman less emo.

The Lizard was one of my favorite Spidey villains, and they even have Connors in the movies. I'd like to see him in one of these upcoming movies but I don't know how they'd pull off the character without using mostly cgi and probably sucking.

Such bad movies, ugh.

3 took Venom, one of the few awesome characters, and sucked at it. God knows what they'd do with Carnage.

x10000000. i will never understand how it made record sales. it was SO SHITTY. emo spiderman...wtf is that shit?

It made record sales because the first two were decent. It had some ok action, and while it was clearly the worst of the bunch I still won't rate it as huge of a turd let down as Xmen 3. That one was terrible.

They already fucked up the whole venom thing to bad to even do carnage now IMO.

The main problem with 3 was they just plain tried to cram to much into it.

if it changes teh host, he/she is no longer venom. Is carnage from the same black stuff?

X-Men 3 > Spidey 3

at least in X3, they didn't ruin one of the most popular villains in the history of comicdom, forever and ever. Unless they do a Batman Begins-esque remake and just forget that one ever happened.

Arguing over whether X-Men 3 or Spiderman 3 was better is like deciding whether you'd rather get kicked in the nuts or stabbed in the eye. Ultimately, both options suck.

I was classic "too many enemies spoil the movie" (also known as the "Batman and Robin" law).

The problem with the naming of that law, is that it might lend to the assertion that Batman and Robin, the utter crapfest that it was, could have otherwise been saved.

You must not have seen many movies then.

It wasn't great, but damn, its not THAT bad. Go watch Bio-Dome, Freddy Got Fingered, or The Core to get some perspective.

:werd:
Raimi throws in some goofyness sometimes, but I thought the first 2 were great. The 3rd wasn't THAT bad, it was worth seeing for me.
