[Movie] Spider-Man 3

The first shot of "Venom" in that trailer looks pretty convincing, but that shot of Spawn in the end with the crappy mouth just slapped on is hilarious.

And I thought Sam Raimi hated Venom. Oh well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Maybe it'll finally be the Lizard. Dr. Connors' appearances seemed to allude to it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It would have to be long to have all those villains in it. Unless it's one villain just for the intro, with Spidey wearing the normal suit, two for the rest of the movie with the black suit, and then one for the ending, which would make the most sense with Brock becoming Venom in more or less the same way Harry finds the Green Goblin costume in the end of 2.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That's Venom from the game, supposedly. It was posted on the last page.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The movie wasn't bad, by any means, but I can't decide if I like this or 2 better.

I actually thought Sandman was pretty cool. I've never been a big fan of him, but the movie made me like him just a bit, like 2 did with Doc Ock. And the sand effects were amazing. They've come a long way since The Mummy.

I didn't see the need to throw Gwen Stacy into this one, other than to cause more drama between Peter and MJ and to mess up the continuity even more. And, I may not have been paying enough attention but

Spoiler:

when did she and Eddie Brock split up for her to go on that date with Peter? It seemed like they just sort of left that bit out.

Emo Peter was great. His little Saturday Night Fever-esque strutting down the street and his pelvic thrust dance were probably the funniest damn things I've ever seen.

My main gripe with the movie was with Venom. After hearing him with the voice from the cartoon and from Marvel vs. Capcom for so long, hearing him speak with Topher Grace's voice was just too weird to me. Also he didn't speak in his trademark "symbiote-speak," referring to himself as "I" instead of "we." Not a big deal, but it's a discrepancy any Spiderman fan would catch. And he was far too scrawny. Venom/Brock is supposed to be a big muscular guy, but here, he's basically Black-Suit Spiderman with Venom's head.

Which brings me to the case of just that. Like someone said earlier, he was a little too cartoonish, mainly because of the way his head looked whenever he had his mouth open wide and was roaring or whatever. He looked like some sort of puppet. I think they could've done a better job if they'd spent more time on that.

Spoiler:

I was pretty surprised at how quickly they killed Venom off. It was like he appeared, fought for about 10 minutes and was gone. Blown the fuck up, definitely not coming back for any sequels. Guess we're not getting a Maximum Carnage movie any time soon. All the Carnage-haters will probably be pleased.

It was kinda cool seeing Topher Grace as a villain instead of the goody-two-shoes Eric Forman character we know from That 70's Show. But I think his role was hideously misplaced. He plays an okay villain, but not a very good Venom. Carnage, maybe. At least then he'd match the physical profile.

All in all, it's good, but it could've been better.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Spoiler:

The only characters (Who I remember) who die in 3 are Harry and Brock. Brock got blown to hell with the symbiote, and Harry got impaled by his glider (Haha, like father, like son.) and Peter and MJ are shown attending his funeral. I really don't see how either of them could realistically come back. But I'll be pissed if they resort to some kind of Zombie Harry.

I found it interesting but I stopped caring after I read this



No...just no.

Funny isn't it...the one time Sam gives the fans what they ask for, they dislike the movie. Goes to show you something...

I believe what that's referring to is how Raimi had to have his arm twisted to put Venom in 3, rather than putting him in on his own at the request of the fans. I don't see anything in that article about people disliking the movie, but I think it's pretty clear that the Raimi-bashing is because of his half-assed Venom.

Spoiler:

Completely screwing Venom up like he did, and killing him off in not even 20 minutes to boot, is a pretty big slap in the face to the Venom fans. It's like he's saying "There, I put him in, now he's dead, so fuck off." I wouldn't want someone like that making a movie either.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
