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.

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

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.

Re: Spiderman 3 trailer
 

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 :(

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.

Re: Spiderman 3 trailer
 

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

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

Re: Spiderman 3 trailer
 

My thoughts exactly. Great effects though...;)

Re: Spiderman 3 trailer
 

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.

Re: Spiderman 3 trailer
 

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

Re: Spiderman 3 trailer
 

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.
