Spiderman? SPIDERMAN?! ok...

[Jest]

So I saw teh Spideymanzes. In this episode he decided to go through the exact same trauama he allways goes through. I'm a good nice great guy...oh wait...I'm a bastard. I need to go through a path of redemption.

However this time it had different badguys. GASP! Except that Hobgoblin was more or less a Ninja version of Green Goblin.

Sandman was handled well, I have no idea why they had to tie his plot to the first movie. that was cheesy and wrapped up exactly how you knew it would. Very predictable. I think the charecter itself was very true to the original though.

So at the casting stage in the film I'm pretty sure they sat at a large table. Happy with their descision to make Hob Goblin a ninja. Then though "What about venom". There was silence in the room. "Well what do we know about him? Maybe we can start there". They stared around the room with blank expressions. "Allright, so he's big, insanely fit, military training...and big...and really really strong...and well...really fit." Then it comes to them. They relize who they must cast! THE PERFECT MAN FOR THE JOB!

"Topher Grace" they all said it in unison. "Ofcoarse! He's big, and strong. Just like he was in That 70's show. The epitome of large and scary."

So they ninja and spiderman fought, then spiderman turned emo, then he did a jazz number for no reason. Then the sandman got angry, then Venom watched Hunchback of Notre Dame, then Sandman and Venom fought the Ninja and Spiderman.

That's pretty much the movie in a nutshell. Now that I'm done complainaing, it was actualy an allright movie. I enjoyed it. It was just so removed from the comic while still trying to latch on to the comics with some false string of marketing. =P

Did anyone else see it?

Yeah I haven’t seen it yet but read a lot on it, sounded pretty stupid. I wasn't a huge fan of Spider-Man 2, it was very dry and overlong throughout much of it with Peter's scenes (that’s funny, cause in the first movie it was the opposite. I wanted to see more Peter and less Spidey.)

Anyway, the scene with Harry and the butler sounds pretty convenient, I mean he just now gets to telling him that Spider-Man didn't do it after Harry had a huge fit in Spidey 2. Maybe I misread how that scene goes down, but anyway. Sounds like Venom is wasted too, if I was making this I would've been like piss on Sandman and keep him out of it and focus on Venom and Harry. And I wouldn't have put Gwen Stacy in it either. My brother is seeing it now, if he really likes it I might go see it.

I didn't enjoy the first movie all that much, too much cheesy nuts, started off decent though. The second one was good though. Heard this is the worst in the series but still half want to see it. Is it worth the money or should I just go see grindhouse?

[Jest]

With your tastes, I think you'd like Grindhouse better.

The first Spiderman one was allright, but they messed up the badguy. The second I really liked actualy. It took everything that went right in the first film and made it go wrong. The third one I think was when they relized that a new generation of kids has been introduced to spiderman, so they tried to add in plenty of stuff for children.

I would have prefered less badguys in this one. =P

Yeah I agree they messed up Green Goblin. I still cringe at his costume, he would've been badass if they went something closer to the classic design. Willem Dafoe did a decent job though. Yeah and it’s very corny throughout most of it, but maybe that's the reason why I enjoy it more than 2. Like those New Yorkers, nothing beats that scene where they start throwing nuts at GG . Plus Peter has that sweet early costume for their first half I dunno, they're both good, sometimes it depends on my mood but I generally favor the first. Anyway, my bro got back from watching 3 and said he liked quite a lot, which was surprising since he’s usually a lot more critical of movies than I, so I think I'll go see it now.

I doubt eskimo did it on purpose, but I just discovered that the director of the Evil Dead movies is actualy the one who directed the spiderman movies, Sam Raimi. I find that a little suprising cause theres nothing edgy about the spiderman movies at all. o.O Oh and it's also the most expensive movie ever made. o.O

I looked at reviews and I was actualy suprised to see who liked it. Jonathan Ross (Big name in britain) loved it. Which I thought was odd cause he's such a big comic book fan and movie critic. I felt it was too diferent from the comics. And lately I've been in this phase where I hate how hollywood doesn't relize that making the camera sweep around and zigzag across scenes isn't good directing.
