spiderman 3 was nice..
Saw it last night and..... well...... I guess it didn't suck.
Couple o' big plot holes, stuff that made no sense for the characters, 10 pounds of potatoes in a 5 pound bag... all true. The first half of the movie was excruciating.
However, the final fight sequences were, in fact, absolutely awesome. Helped make up for a lot.
So, in order, my favorites are Spidey 2, Spidey 1, and Spidey 3.
3 out of 5 stars from me.

Saw it over the weekend - good for entertainments sake as I never got into the comics as a kid (other than while waiting for the dentist).
But my question is on one of the bigger plot holes, so I am hoping that one of the "comic geeks" can explain it to me. When Spidey rids himself of the "black suit" and it ends up on Brock/Venom, why does he suddenly have Spiderman "powers"? The doc said that the suit material would amplify the characteristics of its host. How does the comic treat this? I thought it was kind of dumb - we know that the Spidey suit is NOT the source of Spidermans' powers. So why does the black suit give Venom these powers?

Well, the origin of Venom is convoluted in the movie, but in the comics I think it's a result of the symbiote being so A) so powerful as to be able to replicate those powers and B) so attached to Parker that he takes on those powers as his own.
I'm not sure if this plays into this question or not, but in the comic, Parker invented the spinnerettes and webbing, and in the movie, he just kinda grew 'em after being bitten.
Yeah, they're organic in the movie, mechanical in the comics. But, when he got the new suit (the symbiote) they were organic. One of what Parker thought of a "perks" from the new suit.
As for the relevance to the question above, I think it reinforces the power of the symbiote to adapt to the powers itself.
I liked it but didn't love it. That's the best way I can describe it. Everything felt rushed and forced. The writing was really uneven. If I didn't know any better I would say the movie felt like someone wrote half this movie, put it away for a couple years, then came back to it and tried to finish. Very uneven writing.
There is something that keeps bugging me about HERO films and this franchise in general.
PLEASE STOP REVEALING THE HEROE'S TRUE IDENTITY TO THE VILLANS.
Batman and Spiderman are the worst offenders. How is it the one Superhero that has the worst (or easiest) secret identity in the group (Superman) manages to keep his the most secret? Sheesh.

i wish they make a spiderman movie with his iron-spider costume..
Please god, for all that is good any holy, let me and the rest of the world forget about the "iron" costume.
That could have been an interesting storyline, but it was completely dismissed immediately after it happened when "Civil War" started.
I wonder if they'll explore it again.
IMO, they're F'ing too much with a good thing. Killing May, revealing his identity, putting him in a technology suit, giving him these enhanced powers. It's too much. Spider-Man is best in his simplest moments.
Ben Reilly?

i like the civil war storyline..
but right now, i'm waiting for the rest of world war hulk..
i have its prologue (part 1)..
in .cbr format
I saw this movie yesterday. I liked the constant action and the tag-team fighting was pretty cool, but the emo Peter Parker was just weird. I wish they would've made him more evil than emo even though it was funny.The villians were nice. I would have liked to see Venom(right name?) more. It was a good movie. I liked it more than the 2nd but not as much as the 1st.

Sorta reflects my feelings.
Watched this at the drive in last night and I did enjoy it.
But there was about 30 minutes or so of screen time that detracted from the movie.
No need for the emo-Pete walking the streets ala Travolta or the dance scene at the jazz bar.

Superbowl, Homeboy!
Disapointed...
Where does the black stuff come from??
Okay entertainment, but huge holes in the plot IMO.

The meteorite...what was the story in the cartoon/comic?
I saw this again over the weekend.
The guy who plays Flash Thompson in the first movie is at Harry's funeral. Also, there is a yellow Goblin mask in Harry's stash of helmets. This to me signals the Hobgoblin will be the next villian. In the comics, Hobgoblin framed Flash as being Hobgoblin

yeah, I noticed Flash also and thought WTF is he doing in there?
He was pretty good as Flash the jerk in Spidey 1, but I guess when you're basically just acting like yourself, it ain't that tough to be believable (he's an incredible douchebag in real life - he dated a friend of mine back during the first Spidey days).

the black suit came from an alternate dimension..
spidey wore it because his original costume got torn and he needed a replacement..
