This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I haven't seen it yet, but in every interview or snippet thereof I've read with Sam Rami, he makes it clear (if you're listening) that he didn't WANT Venom in this movie, but Ari Arad made him include him because "fans love Venom". As soon as I figured out the producer forced the director to add something he didn't want in there, I knew it'd a) be way too villain-heavy and b) not as good as one-badguy movies.

Seriously, you only have so much screen-time, how can you develop TWO new villains and continue the Goblin and Peter-is-just-this-guy-you-know-? storylines as well?

A shame, but it looks like it'll make umpteen-skadillion dollars and maybe he can make another one without bowing to Produceritis.

I haven't seen it yet but I hope to see it soon.

I have friend who saw it and said it wasn't very good.   But it's nice to hear people say that it was a good movie.

Hopefully no one is going to post spoilers and run it :)

I can't say that it was a really good movie.

But it was a lot of fun to watch.

Here's my website. It's defunct, but there's gaming stuff on it. Much of it's missing. Sorry.

I've got a blog. Do you read other people's blogs? I dunno. You can say hi if you want, though, I don't mind company. It's not all gaming, though; you run the risk of running into my RL shit.

I might go see it in a month or two when the booger eaters and the crowd die down.

It was fun, though it could have been better and far too much happened in the movie. Overall, I still think that the second one was the best of the trilogy.

Some points:

The actor doing Sandman: Good choice!

Gwen Stacy: Meh. I expected better from Bryce Dallas Howard.

Ursula Ditkovich: Come on, Peter, this is the one who really loves you!

Venom: WTF!? That's the best origin they could think of??? I hope that it was just Sam Raimi's jab at Avi Arad... "It came from above! I swear it!"



Finally:

SPOILER (Hover over section below to view.)

They killed Uncle Ben... again.

Quote from: Sosthenes
Sadly I have to say that while Spider-Man is a decent character, most of his villains are pretty stupid.


What!! You mean that the Vulture, Rhino and Tarantula are stupid! Shame on you, shame on you...:D Oh, and don't forget Boomerang.

Or Doc Ock, Mysterio, Big Wheel, Hammerhead, Stilt-Man or the Taskmaster.

Not that it would've helped. FF had the best comic villain ever and what did they turn him into? Ultimate Doom without the silly legs...

Saw it last night.

Silly song and dance routines and massive coincidences aside I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought all the villains were well played, and loved the team-up between Harry and Peter at the end. It was big, dumb and packed with action, which is all you can reasonably hope for in a four colour superhero film. I'll definitely be buying the DVD when it's released.

I liked it. It was a lot of fun.

I subscribe to the Bruce Campbell philosophy of movies; If it's about superheroes or monsters, then -- no matter how huge it is-- it's still a B-Movie, and it's ok to enjoy it even if it's not fine cinema.

Speaking of which:

0) James Franco steals the show. I would like to see this actor return as another superhero in his own movie.
1) Bruce Campbell once again gets a great scene.
2) I liked the song and dance parts. The streetwalker scene is the bestest.
3) Toby Maguire is starting to look a bit like.. young Martin Sheen.
4) In the coffee shop scene, one of Franco's eyes is puffy and half-closed, as if he is having an allergic reaction to something.
5) I liked the team up at the end, and I have high hopes they make a movie about the Phil Urich Green Goblin (my favorite of all the goblins.)
6) The next movie *must* be about Kraven.
7) In comics continuity, Sandman goes on to become a Hulk villian. I think it might be a good idea to do the same in the movies. In fact, I would wish for a Raimi-like direction to be taken with a new Hulk movie.

I just saw it and I loved it. Absolutely up to par with the first two movies.
