As much as I hate to say it, Spiderman 3 sucked. Where to even begin...

Sandman was a completely useless character that never had enough screen time to really make you care about him. And after everything was said and done, Peter just forgives him and lets him go on his merry way? Not to mention his origin was completely unbelievable in almost every way.

Topher Grace as Eddie Brock? Okay, I'll buy that. Topher Grace as Venom? No. It just didn't work. Way too much whining and talking, not enough hissing and killing.

Bernard the butler had known for 3 years that Norman Osborn had died by his own hands and he never once thought to convey this knowledge to Harry despite knowing of his obsession with killing Spiderman to avenge his father's death? Whoops. Maybe it would've been a good idea to speak up sooner. Like before Harry almost kills his best friend and gets horribly scarred for life, you senile old bastard.

Jazz-piano-playing goth Peter Parker. No. Just no.

It's really a shame, because it could've been so much better.

Hmmm.. then i just have to say that you only focused on the things that didn't work then...for me... i think this is the best spiderman series ever yet... this series have a way lot more of action then the previous series...(Spiderman, Spiderman 2)... this series brought a successful event where sam raimi can manage to bring 3 enemies in one series...each of them have their main part...at first when harry lose to peter, i thought that's the end of goblin junior... but it's not ...after defeating sandman harry manage to get his memories back, and fight peter once again, although he lose and it was a small fight and action...but hey, there are 2 main action/event that is probably the best... where he fight sandman using symbiote and where he fought venom and sandman together with harry...it's just to bad for harry that he had to die though...well, every beginning have an ending...im very grateful that i manage to see spiderman 3 in premier show (1st day)...it wasnt a waste...

in other words, i dont agree with your opinion that spiderman 3 sucks...maybe there are some element lacking but overall, i have to say it's 5 out of 5 dude...

I had such high expectations going in that I left quite disappointed. The whole Emo-Parker thing was horrible. There were way too many silly moments, and the way I saw it, not enough action (in lieu of dancing routines and singing). Venom was a huge disappointment; they could have done so much more with him. Sandman was cool, but he's wasn't used effectively (the best thing about him was his "birth" as Sandman, I thought that was awesome). I can understand Raimi's thinking though, he could do whatever he wanted with this movie, because he knew it'd be a huge success. So while I totally expect this to be breaking box office records, I think it's been over hyped and it's over rated. I don't think this is the best of the 3, no sir.

I too think it was over hyped and over-rated.
I wish the stories of the enemies intertwined together, but instead I see one scene, they shift to another character, then another shift, it never felt like it flowed, it just one by one let's show someone the boom, they all met each other.

Spderman 1, i bad guy. Spiderman 2, 1 Bad guy. Spiderman 3, 3 bad guys and it just doesn't fit. Unfortunately my bloody jp language setup will not allow me to paste the rest of my message, sorry if I am incomplete in my post.

Actually, the movie is not very good, but it filled some of my expectations.
The Sandman was a little useless, but as said up, the Sandman "born" was amusing!
The venom character sucked, that thin photographer couldnt be that strong as venom.
The Harry's part of the movie was really good, it fited nicely.
The Emo-Gay-Peter-Piano-Player SUCKED A LOT! that was horrible!(by the way, Stacy's actress is really hot). Besides that, the visual of the movie is good, the special effects are great as allways and the fight scenes are good.
I just think Rami did a big shit with this movie, it had everything to be the best of the year! after that, all I have to do is to congratulate him for THE SHIT HE DID WITH SPIDER-MAN 3!

clap, clap,clap!
¬¬'

the only good thing about Spiderman 3 is that it gave some good belly laughs afterwards.

WTFmates about emo spiderman? i wanted to shout SLASHYOURWRISTS, spidey! about a million and one times. AND THE EMO SWOOSH! DIDYOUCATCHIT? ohemgee, that whole sequence when Peter Parker becomes the enbodiment of Mainstream Emo just kills me. And he didn't even get the haircut right. On the whole, a bad music video. I don't get it, the street walking plus dancing? Girls dig it, then don't? Is it supposed to show all the kiddies that bad-ass/baddancemoves = no action? Completely laughable. Then the jazz scene. AND Parker couldn't even get the hairstyle right. LAWL. Go see yourscenesucks.com and get a clue, Parker.

Anyone see spidey strike a pose in front of the American Flag. i died. i really did.

NO VILLIAN IN THIS GODFORSAKEN MOVIE WAS COMPLETE. They never progressed. I like my badguys to have some sort of character depth. I mean they can be all static if they want to, but please, just have a god story and a good actor. Please.
The sandman showed absolutely no emotion throughout this whole movie. i mean stoic, but not in the good Hemmingway, well, WAY. oh oh oh oh oh oh. no good, no good. Skipping all the crap I can't seem to remember about this half-assed villian, I'll get to his... demise? It made no sense. Water sludges him, breath fire on the guy, he turns to glass and breakes. he may pull himiself back together agian, but idk, PUT HIM A PLASTIC BOTTLE OR SOMETHING. They give all these context clues and how does the man go down? two little torpedo things. I don't even think i can call them that. Anybody know what Goblin Jr.'s toy SNOWBOARD shoots out of itself? Well, THATS how Sandman goes down. Just two, and then it's GRRRooOWWWWWWWL like a Scooby-Doo Monster and into the dirt he goes. lame, Sandman, LAME.
AND Goblin Jr. (does he even have a super cool supervillian name in the comics, guys? I've never read 'em, bad whoremonster, bad D<) pretty much has the worst time in this movie. He has the worst costume. Super hi-tech, super lame. And he always undoes his little mask thing, I thought that's supposed to remain a secret? Then, what, a bump on the head makes him and Peter friends again. He doesn't get the girl. He kinda looks super dumb throughout that whole sequence, too. Then Mr. Harry's skitsophrantic again. god, i don't know how to spell. THEN GETS BLOWN UP. He shouldn't have lived. THE BLOWUPEYTHING WAS RIGHT IN HIS FACE. and how does he get scarred?It was behind him....to the other side, since he sorta tried to escape....... but he survived. To let Alfred-wannabee butler man tell him his whole Revenge Path to his LIFE was mistaken. Thanks ALFRED. Alfred would so not let Batman down. loser. He saves Spiderman then dies. The end. Buuuuuuuut, i suppose dies in MJ's arms.

pause for the wholemonster. The problem i have always had in all the Spiderman trilogy-thing. Kirsten Dun-something, in the movie to begin with. But i suppose the acting coming from everybody in the movies is just so bad, they had to keep to par, and hired her. wtf, Kirsten. Learn to portray some fear.

play:
I'm doen with harry, his lot it just so sad, but I do have to say he chose the dumbest costume.
Venom. VENOM WHO HAD THE COOLEST TEETH AND THE COOLEST JUST EVER. A total waste. He was wasted and it is a shame becasue so much more could have been done. He could have been on the screen longer so i could just stare at the teeth. Stupid stupid Raimi. ANd to go more on my bad acting choices speel. They choose the gayest (sorry to offend the homosexual out their) Venom ever. AH.

AH.

what else to pinpoint?

I liked Grandma. She's pretty cool and forgiving and stuff.


But really, there were just so many unnecessary shots in the thing. Cut those out, and put some depth and plot developement with the Sandman and Venom. the sandman doesn't really need to be I suppose, but in a movie where special effects and some ACTION are the main attractors. GIVE ME MORE VENOM.
He's just a cool guy.
Who doesn't like bells.

Now, I don't know who wrote this "Best Trilogy" quote. butNO. ooh NO.
Better than two. But just bad. omg, it was just a dumb movie.


i win the award for longest post.
but so much to slay this movie with O;

Well... since all of you guys stole my lines. I'll just say...

I hated it too

best action sequence though, don't you think? the visual effects were superb...

I didn't expect it to be super awesome in terms of plot and everything else; I just went there expecting to see some great visual effects and probably get some laughs. That said, I had a good time watching the movie, even if the villains weren't as well played out as they could've been.

That whole thing with "emo" Peter Parker was hilarious to me, and during the dancing sequence I kept hiding behind my hands, laughing, and telling him to "stop, dear god, stop". I thought I was the only one who noticed his damn "emo" hair; glad to know that I'm not going crazy.

I agree with the first comment about the Butler guy. Seriously, even if he just wanted to let Harry get his anger out about the whole situation, surely he must've noted how it crossed the line a long time ago from a catharsis kind of anger release to just a purely unhealthy murderous rage. WTF, Butler guy?

And I, of course, knew that if Harry and Peter made up for real, that Harry would obviously have to die right away. You know, to balance out the angst lost by Harry not being angry with Pete anymore. And of course he has to be impaled by his own hover-device thing, just like his father.

In summary, this movie is great if you want great action sequences, some laughs, and you've liked the other two Spiderman movies. If you want a fairly deep plot and lots of character development, you're better off looking elsewhere.

That movie sucked. I was bored from beginning to end. This movie was seriously over hyped. It was just like Superman, too much talking and not enough action. Venom was kinda of cool though.

The movie sucked big time!

Coincidences and more coincidences! A meteorite crashed at central park at the same time Peter and Mary Jane are having a romantic moment. His spider sense didn't tingle? It's a meteorite for Christ sakes! There should be a big boom, a bigger crater and peter could've yelled OMGW**!

Sandman was mutated? He climbed a non-bard wired and non-electrocuted fence with no security cameras in a Research Facility?

The ending was not suited for a trilogy and I'm guessing that there will be a part 4. The possible enemy is Carnage since, Peter's professor has a sample of venom.

i think the same. completely agree.

Although there were good areas to the movie, I feel that venom is a character that needs basically much more development. In the comic books, venom is the main nemesis of Spiderman (okay you got Carnage and Toxin, but venom's the first one). It just seemed that there were too many things involved at once, in my opinion I don't think Sandman should've been in the movie. Allright sure, thanks to him we now know Peter's uncle's true death...and yeah, it was supposed to be a trilogy so they had to wrap it up agreed, but it just seemed to lack in the development of the villains. And truthfully the character that played venom...well...he seemed to be more of a freakin' drama queen than someone who was supposed to develop a true hatred towards Peter Parker, a hatred that manifested itself fully within venom. So it was a dissapointment in some crucial areas cause I expected more.

However, on the good bits, there was much more action to this movie than the previous ones. We already know Spider-man, so we didn't need that much intro like the other movies, which allowed more time to show spidey swinging around and doing what he does in the city.

The effects were really good as well, and I found interesting the concept of Peter Parker obtaining 'Hubris' (That's emotional pride). Cause it shows that although Spiderman is different than us, he still is human in his nature, which was really interesting cause that's the type of things you don't expect to see on a full fledged hero, but nevertheless it added some interesting atmosphere to the movie.

Although I didn't like the way Peter Parker was portrayed Gothic or Emo or the generalized 'bad boy' they did show the change in him due to venom. However, I would've preffered a more violent Peter Parker, much more rash in decisions and much less patient. I think that would've been much better than this whole 'bad boy' business cause it just looked...well...lame really.

Now for the Sandman. Although he made his appearance, again, there was too little movie time to actually have him develop fully. Sandman is an important character but his story is far too compressed, which again raises the issue, should they have limited spiderman to a trilogy? Or discard Sandman? Cause with the Green Goblin Junior and Venom the movie would've been pretty good in itself, since Venom was supposed to be the MAIN attraction to this movie.

Well, I have more to say, but I think I've stated my most important points. Again, although somewhat dissapointed, I enjoyed the movie enough.

I just have to quote this as "words never truer have been spoken"

well, Sandman was a physical worth of crap, nothing believable so forget about it, it was a farce, but the best bit was his graphics (AKA, Imhotep, Imhotep of Mummy)

Eddie Brock, was twice and thrice even the size smaller than the comic version, plus a short show time and shows he is a f*cking gay whining fart.

Lol, Peter peter peter.. how can you make yourself goth like that?
To see him walking "John Travolta style just makes me cringe, oh well, al for the hope of entertainment.,

I think I'll add my opinion of the film to this thread. The film was alright but not great. I still got some enjoyment out of it but in no way did it come close to Spider-Man 2's greatness and although the action sequences were better than 1's, the film failed in more ways.

Too many storylines to juggle. Venom was really underdeveloped and why the hell did he sound like Eddie Brock while in Venom form? That dance number in the jazz bar should have been kept as an extra or something for the DVD because it was super-cheesy. When he was walking down the street pointing his fingers at all the women was like something out of Grease. And Harry and MJ doing the twist while he was cooking?!? What were they thinking?

Overall though, I still found some enjoyment out of the movie but after the first two Spider-Man movies, especially Spider-Man 2, I guess my expectations were just too high.

Saw the movie yesterday and enjoyed it but I don't plan on seeing it again. It was just okay. I didn't hate it but definitely didn't love it either. It seemed long and slow. I was really disappointed with Venom. He was one of my favorite villains but he really got a dismal role in this movie. The way that sandman was "defeated" in the end was also really lame. I will say that the action sequences were really good though. Overall I enjoyed it and it was worth the matinee price.
