Spiderman 3 trailer

[grady]

It just debuted. More of the same.

[gambit]

Looking good. New bit of info is that apparently Sandman killed Uncle Ben, I guess? That seems a bit of a stretch personally, but we'll see what happens.

new leaked footage online.....supposed to have a spoiler in it (I didn't watch b/c of this so I really couldn't tell ya)

i just saw the second one a couple of weeks ago on tv. it was pretty cool, but i'm certain it'd be much more exciting in theatres. there's just nothing like going to the movies... =)

Spiderman 3 just opened to $375 million worldwide!!!! Biggest domestic weekend ever too. wow. :eek:

Good thing considering how much the film cost to make and market.

[Dirty0900]

SPiderman 3 was crap.

To many stories going on at once......

[King of Snake]

More of the same.

big surprise there :rolleyes::p

[gambit]

Yeah, it was terrible. Should've taken out Venom, Gwen Stacy, and the Sandman completely, or at least focused on one villain.

[jOHN rODRIGUEZ]

As far a quality entertainment, complete replica of the Star Wars(IV, V, VI) trilogy.

Spiderman = Star Wars (wow)
Spiderman II - Empire (this is the shit)
Spiderman III - Jedi (?)

[b.miller]

really? I still don't get why the first Spiderman was so loved. The second exceeded my expectations though which made the third one all the more disapointing.

[adam]

First one was okay. Second one was the ideal comic book movie. Third one was okay.

[grady]

first one was crap. Second one, crappier, I still am counfounded by the shameless monkey clapping that ensued when that one came out. at this point I don't know if I will be seeing the third one, at least until it comes to the beer theater I work at where a couple of pints might increase the level of enjoyment, but somehow I doubt that.

I think a lot of my problem with the Spiderman series comes from the style, direction and overall asethetic approach to the story. The cartoony approach just feels very bland and uninteresting. I find myself much more attacted the visual design and presentation of Chris Nolan's Batman Begin's and can't wait to see what is in store for the The Dark Night Returns.

[kid cue]

couldn't disagree more. Batman Begins was about a predictably gritty, "serious", po-faced treatment of a comic book as you could imagine. Spiderman's cartoony style is almost expressionistic! the way he swings around, the fights, the slapstick, etc. the elasticity of it all feels so true to the "THWIP" of the webs. Spiderman 2 was really, really good. i am not excited about 3 :(

[gambit]

Y'know, I think Topher Grace might've made a better Spidey. Not that Tobey Maguire is a bad actor or anything, but he just doesn't have the comedic chops to pull of Spidey's trademark quips. That was something I've been severely disappointed with every movie. Spidey needs to trash talk while in costume, and he never really did that, and Maguire never fully convinced me he could pull that off.

[Skie]

I enjoyed the third movie. There were a few too many story arcs going on. It's more like two movies forced into one.

Spidey needs to trash talk while in costume, and he never really did that.

I agree. It's part of what makes Spidey Spidey.

[Sean]

SPiderman 3 was crap.

To many stories going on at once......My thoughts exactly. Great effects though...;)

[potatobroth]

SP3 was terrible.

SP1 was good when it was new, but showed its age when 2 came out. SP2 was fun fun fun! SP3 just let down in every way other than visually.

MJ... what a bitch. If anyone wants a lesson in writing an unlikeable, watch SP3 and pay attention to MJ. My goodness, how can you root for either her or PP after watching how horrible a person she comes across as.

[viddy]

that sound design sure was good too......

[dubman]

i didnt want to see this movie until someone assembled a collection of clips from the movie explaining why it was bad.

basically it was him walking down the sidewalk with some funk music playing and then him in a bar doing a wannabe swing thing. it was pretty hilarious.

so now i actually want to see it because fucking HELLO SAME GUY WHO DID EVIL DEAD 2
using the same awkward humor in a movie with a HUUUGE budget, which i sdoubly funny.

duck - the thoughts on batman is pretty interesting, and yr right, but it's just a better viewing experience overall. i think my memory of the spiderman movies would agree a lot more with how you feel about them than if i watched the movie again, because i remember that it was trying to do all that but it still felt flat.

one and two were both okay. 3 might be bizarrely okay or just terrible.

i dunno. i dont really have the funds for fun anymore.

[kid cue]

ok you guys are fucking nuts. this was 95% of what i could've hoped for. yes it was long, and it felt more like "let's just keep watching this movie" than "omfg what happens next??!!!!" but i thought everything (action, humor, visuals, themes) was right on. the most painful bit to me was the news reporters in the last action scene. i can't believe the critical backlash & overall bandwagon jumping with people falling over themselves to diss this movie everywhere.

[King of Snake]

Well at the risk of "jumping on the bandwagon", I saw this yesterday, and while it wasn't a bad movie per se, it just didn't have anything really going for it either. The whole black-spidy thing was pretty underplayed, (all it did to him was give him a set of balls it seemed (ok and make him a bit of dick in the process), but when this photographer guy gets the stuff on him he turns into Venom...? wtf?)
I would have liked to see much more a spiderman struggling with a his good and bad sides as a result of the alien stuff.

Bring on the new Batman!

PS. Bruce Campbell as the french waiter was awesome :)

[grady]

Best part of the film was Bruce Campbell, everything else, meh.

Please stop with the Sam Rami defense, it's tired and useless at this point. Technically the film seemed fine, but it was tepid, dull and boring. I'm not jumping on a bandwagon here either, I've always had disdain for Spiderman in the film incarnation, but thought I would take a chance one last time. That will be the last.

[Tom]

I agree with kid cue, you guys are retarded.

[mmm skyscraper]

Yeah I don't understand why people who dislike the 3rd movie rave about the 2nd. Both of them have their stupid moments.

I thought 3 was right in line with the other movies, so my expectations were met.

At least the Sandman didn't die.

edit: I don't understand the complaint about too many villians. I wish we could have seen the Sinister Six in a film.

Venom, Sandman, Goblin....sort of.....all getting a minute of screen time here and there, and all conveniently falling together for a big climactic fight. But with so little time spent developing each, it's hard to give a crap what happens to any of them. That was my problem.

But with so little time spent developing each, it's hard to give a crap what happens to any of them. That was my problem. i know what you mean, but i think it's a judgment call -- you def get the feeling of many many knives being juggled, but i still thought the balance between each plotline, character, funny moments, actions, and themes was about as good as it could've been (i.e. clear, concise, fun, and genuinely meaningful by the end). i was definitely never confused by the film, except over one small point. and a lot of people are complaining about how there was too much crying, which i also disagree with. there's this overall critical/viewer consensus that it's some kind of pretentious, unenjoyable emo-fest, which i think is totally off :confused:

i'm not sure character development was really that necessary, since these characters are all basically archetypes, and the film seems to've been based on a series of meta-gestures within the comic book subgenre, i.e. using the familiar characters & superhero/villain tropes to communicate very familiar themes in a different, self-consciously cartoony way. that probably makes no sense because



I'M DRUNK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Strangelet]

not a great film. at all. the writing was unintelligble, unrealistic, and mising any kind of system of inner logic that even a comic book contains. The result was a discombobulated mess, with quality elements bobbing up and down like survivors on rafts after a shipwreck.

All through the movie my response was: this doesn't make sense. That would never happen, this is out of character, he/she would never do/say that based on the situation.

i don't know if it was too much to write in or too many writers, but this one sinks under the weight of its own hubris.

(and I was nice and didn't bring up the evil danicing emo parker crap. or that I half exptected donna to come out with a cat suit or fez to be some super disco villian. I mean, why not?)

[dubman]

who the fuck are all these people being confused by it all
90% of you have failed completely
this was the best one of the lot.

DAMN YOU FOOLS
