For all you Spider-Man fans out there. That includes Tori's husband. Here is hoping Black Cat makes her movie Debut and Upstages CatWoman.
Who would make a good Black Cat??

John thinks that maybe Gwen Stacy will be the black cat...he didn't say for sure though and I don't know anything about it. |

Is that thinks ... or hopes?  Gwen's certainly a lot more pleasing to look at than moon-faced Dunst, but if she does become Black Cat she needs to eat a few doughnuts before the next film. |

Yup, but since they don't seem to be following the comic book (shouldn't Gwen have been Peter's first love?) pretty much anything goes now  |

Peter has a sex change (Perty Parker) and spins webs from her new breast implants and a fashions a little red and blue skirt from his trousers.
While MJ becomes a dominatrix engaging the news Editor and the chief of police as her best clients
Harry is resurrected because apparently their cannot be a Spidermovie with the green goblin.
I've never read the comics, does this give me the qualifications to write the next screenplay for 'Spiderman 4; Crossing the Spider'? |

Presumably, (s)he then eats h(er/is) partner after boinking too?
And yes- you sound as qualified as anyone in Hollywood to write a comic book movie  |

Over here, we only get The Daily Show Global Edition once a week. Just before Spiderman 3 came out, Jon Stewart interviewed Tobey Maguire on his show and that's the interview we got on the Global Edition. He asked if this third installment wasn't a bit of a problem since third movies have a tendency to flop (I think he referred to Godfather 3). There was an awkward moment there, and I got the feeling that Tobey wasn't as confident as he should have been. After reading this thread, I can see why!

i watched SM2 again for comparison purposes and it's not even close. the second installment was brilliant and has set the bar ridiculously high for super-hero movies.
a couple of points though. i can forgive the whole dark-Parker strut sequence, somewhat. it's parker trying to be cool, hip and edgy. and he's not. he's a goofy kid with no idea how to be any of those things. that was pretty much a bizarro version of the sunshiny, happy, no-powers-Parker "raindrops-keep-falling" segment from part 2. that was a little corny too, but it served its purpose and didn't ruin the film. the butler revelation and dance sequence in part 3 are still hideous though.
things that worked in part 2 that the studio should have remembered: 1) MORE J. Jonah Jameson, probably the best character in the series. 2) fewer villains are better, not more. because there was just octavius in part 2, there was more development with that character and therefore more interest. 3) people are more interesting than special effects and action. most of the sfx in all 3 movies are gorgeous. one reason super-hero movies are more popular now is movie magic is getting closer to imaginations. but that doesn't nearly replace good characters, interesting relationships and believable interaction. i don't remember anybody complaining because spiderman didn't appear in costume for more than 30 minutes in part 2?
my favorite part of sm2 is so simple: near the end when spidey, not wearing his mask, is holding up a piece of a building and mj is staring up at him, shocked at the revelation, and he says, "This is really heavy."
don't get me wrong. i liked sm3, but it was far below expectations. |

Finally got to see SM3 last night. Daughter is away on a school trip for the week, and we're allowed out to play! 
On the whole, it was a decent superhero movie, BUT
1) I'm with Ali - some of the "through the buildings" fights and chases left me feeling disoriented.
2) SM3 started off well, totally lost it's way in the middle, redeemed itself, and then fell for the really cheesy ending. I could have done without the voice-over about "choices that we all have to make". Could have done without Spidey framed against the Stars and Stripes, come to think of it.
3) Jazz Club scene - yech! Why?
4) Goblin Junior's redemption - hmmm.
5) Not bad, but can we make the next one a bit more concise please?
Having said that, we've got tickets to see POTC At Worlds End on Thursday night. I'll report back on Friday morning (day off work )
P.S. My ticket stub says "Spider-ma". Could this be the next spin-off from the franchise? |

I finally cuaght up on this one today after putting it off and seeing other things higher up the "need to see" list first. It was also cheap ticket day at my local fleapit and it seemed as good as reason as any.
Obviously I went with low expectations, and found to my delight that the first half of the movie at least was perfectly good; the characters were all well settled and interacting as I remembered, it felt well paced and the slightly cheesy dimples-in-the-cheeks, "aw shucks" comic book attitude was quite charming. Tobey Maguire always looks like he's smoked a few too many and barely manages to act beyond the goofy look he presumably carries in real life, but it washed very pleasantly over me.
And then it went wrong half way through. Really not good at all wrong. My patience was being stretched so many times by lazy dialogue or appalling acting, or enormous plot holes I stopped enjoying it, which was a crying shame as it had won me over pretty well. You know something is seriously wrong with an action sequence when you have to have pre-teens saying banalities like "wicked cool!" into camera to somehow convince you that what you are watching is either exciting or at best interesting. It reminded me that this movie was squarely aimed at the 8 to 13 market and was pretty much pandering to them. I'm not a kid anymore, but i'd like to think that Raimi could at least think about the wider audience. Think about the ridiculous "no, it's far too late to save me" heroic death speech at the end: it's pure playground. In fact the best joke of the whole movie was the little kid pulling a face at Spiderman kissing Gwen.
I'd like to point out the kid was delusional. Bryce Dallas Howard is seriously easy on the eye and a really nice actress, and kept me alert when my attention was flagging, bless her, but she wasn't around for the last half hour, so that was that. Rosemary Harris is a good actress too, but why is it every time she has one of her many lengthy "let's have a chat, Peter" scenes in all three films my brain shuts down? Sam Raimi really can't do drama, he needs to stop trying - or if he won't, at least get someone to write it who isn't a comic book adapter. It's soooo boring.
Evil Peter as Brian Molko from Placebo: just rubbish. The cafe scene: unintentionally hilarious. This we all know. A glaring plot hole (because it just occurred to me) - Harry gets a bomb in his face and gets some unfortunate but very fast healing scar tissue, Eddie Brock gets a bomb in the face and is completely incinerated. What's that all about?
Finally, can we quit with the Stan Lee cameos? I'm so sick of seeing him in Marvel adaptations he's like a bad smell. It's getting to the point where he might as well introduce them all like Hitchcock - "I first ripped-off this character from DC in 1960...."
A pretty horrible way to end a decent run of films; the worst of the three by far. |
