to be honest im appalled by how many people enjoyed any of the spiderman movies! they were horrible! maybe if your 12 years old, (and yes demographics mess up most comic book adaptations…) but if u think about it 12 year olds didnt grow up reading spiderman comic books… they grew up playing pokeman and yu-gi-o or whatever the hell its called, the tail end of generation x read them, when todd macfarlane got on board and changed spiderman, DOES ANYONE REMEMBER SPIDERMAN PRE=1985? he was a little… uh… stiff. look at spiderman #1, the one from the late 80s? wouldnt it be nice to have THAT spiderman, instead of this bobble headed slantey eyed BUTT UGLY when he takes his mask off… all too often unfortunately… slimey lookin tobey maguire?????
AM I ALONE???
WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE THIS MOVIE?
Venom was butchered… his tongue didnt even hang out… HE CLOSED HIS MOUTH the artist who did venom the best was mark bagley, google it… unfortunatley he did ultimate spiderman for a while which is a very similar ugly stain on marvel… its like a spiderman 90210… in my opinion not what a comic book is for… anyway yea if they had made venom look like mark bagley’s… it could have saved the movie with just that, and i mean saved in a bad way..like barely.
so… to those people who DID like the movie… i geuss you just loved the part when he made his (i would use more….. assertive language if i could..) stupid little emo hair doo and started dancing with his spiderman skills huh? that was awesome! yea! go spiderman! and hitting on girls like a burt out disco stu?………………………..

like i said all marvel movies are made for kids, its gotta be pg13, but kids never read spiderman comics! they watched the horrid aparition that anime took in north america… (remember anime in the 80s? Akira? Ninja Scroll? ..not exactly for kids… kids watched them anyway) so they have strange japanese cartoons about card games that tie in to real life card games so they can sell it along with the show, WHY RUIN A LEDGEND AND MARKET TO KIDS WHO GREW UP ON THAT CRAP?
WHAT ABOUT THE REAL FANS?

Venom was so much better than that lame Sandman. They should have dropped that expensive villain and just went with Venom. Topher Grace kinda sucks (his name is Topher – I know it’s Christopher, but why choose Topher), but Venom is a kick-ass character who’ll def get his own movie.

Doesn’t matter if Venom was forced into the script by the studio. Raimi is still to blame
for at least the portrayal of Venom and Brock. Raimi is the director and as such he is
responsible for the whole film.

The main problem with Venom was that he was pretty much a useless character in the
film. They give Eddie Brock 1 scene where he’s embarrassed by Parker for the fake
photos… and then all of a sudden that justifies him wanting to kill Peter? Come on…
really, Audiences are more intelligent than that and those scenes just don’t work. Instead
they should have introduced Eddie Brock in Spider-Man 1 and 2 and developed Peter and
Brock’s rivalry slowly… and even if they never brought Venom into the franchise, it still
would have been good because it would have given Peter one more problem he didn’t
need to deal with because just being Spider-Man was already enough of a responsibility.

As for Sandman, the biggest mistake was making him Uncle Ben’s killer. I think Raimi
went too far in making changes in Spider-Man history. It’s one thing to have organic
shooters, or Doc Ock’s character becoming good at the end of Spider-Man 2, but despite
those changes, at least the story still worked well in within that context. But in Spider-
Man 3, Sandman was also pretty lame just like Venom… and the worst part was at the
end when Spidey and Sandman kiss and make up… then Sandman flies away as a dust
cloud.

I really don’t see why everyone hated the movie solely over Venom. First of all, he’s not that
great of a character to begin with. He’s not even a real villain, he just messes with Peter
Parker for a living, that has no real story to go with.
Secondly, people complain that Venom wasn’t big and buff enough, but then those are the
same people who ridicule the Hulk for being to CGI. Why is he CGI? Because no one on the
planet is that big. The same goes for Venom. So I’d rather have him be sizable to the actor
than just some CGI blob like the Hulk.
Finally, why Shia? Shia Lebeouf is by far the worst actor to represent today’s youth, and
overall just death to films.

Venom was a studio interaction.
Can’t blame Raimi.

I forgive Raimi for Parker’s dancing down the street. I can never forgive how badly he screwed up every single aspect of Venom, from his origin to Eddie Brock to his look. Also, the Harry Goblin fight sequence was terrible. The CGI was terrible. The act-… I have to stop myself now or I will go all night.

The “risks” in S3 were ruining Venom completely, pulling some BS in making them combine forces, and using terrible CGI and poor dialog.

Nooo if he makes a 4th one I have nothing to compare it to! I remember before S-3 came out I told everyone it was going to be the Army of Darkness of movies. I was right in a sense that it was absolutely corny, but not in an Army of Darkness way. Now with a 4th installment… what can I compare it to? Maybe this will be a new lineage of comparing future Raimi franchises; if any.

Gheesh he takes some risks in S3 and you hate him now?

I had very little problems with Spider Man 3. This is great news!
