Apparently Sony feels the need to reboot Spiderman after Rami left. Why the fuck are they rebooting everything? Why can't someone just realize that following batman into adding as many bad guys in a film is just a dumb move, 1 bad guy is fine, 2 is enough if one of them is a minor bad guy, I can't get into any more than that. Spiderman 3 could have been a really good movie if they left out the whole sandman thing. Yep another series ruined by studio intervention.

Actually, Sandman was a very well-casted and played character with a lot of emotional depth. Venom was lame in comparison......not much thought went into its creation, making him primitive and childish.

Agreed. The alien costume story was murdered by this movie.

I hate how they blatantly threw Gwen Stacey in randomly into #3 to shut up the comic fans still bitching about her not being in the first movie and dying.

I never saw SM3 so I probably wasn't going to see this one anyway.

Spider-Man has pissed me off since the beginning. That shit is garbage. Topher Grace would have been a better Peter Parker than Toby McGuire, but then again, so would have been someone with Down's Syndrome, which is pretty much what we got. The Venom story arc should have been it's own movie, period. Venom is one of the most iconic villians in Marvel comics, and the biggest one in Spider-Man for the last 15 years. Has the fucking Sandman had his own series? Dr Octopus? The Green Goblin? No, and fuck 'em, Venom's had multiple books, limited series and one-shots of his own.

And I'm sick of the way they're doing the villians. Oh, God, a Spider-Man movie. Bet we see the Goblin, Doc Ock, and someone from the Sinister Six. Oh shit...! They did the same with X-men and it made me fucking furious. Can we see the goddamn X-men without Magneto's crusty, old ass, for once? There are so many awesome villians from that title, and yet, none of them will show up. What about Apocalypse (animatronic/CGI with James Earl Jones as the voice = awesome!!!), or maybe Mr. Sinister, or even Mojo?! Magneto is played out bullshit. I bet you the Thor movie is all about Loki, the Capt. America movie has the Red Skull, and if they make another Fantastic Four abomination it'll have Dr Doom AGAIN and maybe Mole Man. Show some fucking originality.

the green goblin has always been the most important of spidey's adversaries. While I agree venom is cool, he doesnt have half the history those two have.

Done?

These movies were not made for comic book nerds.
They were made to get the general public into the theater to make money.
Some of the internet fanbois on the internet would not be happy unless they did every comic in sequence without changing a thing. I guarantee, the general public would hate them after the 2nd movie, and never return. This way, they make more movies and money.

BTW, I never read comic books, but I do appreciate a well done movie, and I would say only about 30% of comic book movies are any good.

Spiderman vs Lobo FTW...Keep Tobey Maguire far away.

Whatever man, you take one of the biggest comic book hero's in the world, and you make a movie about him... Who do you want to make that movie for? His fans. Millions and millions of spiderman fans.

Nobody said they should have done the series book by book, thats ridiculous. But there are tons of Amazing Spiderman series that are not only exciting, but have great stories. That would have made the movies feel like more than hollywood flash with popular characters thrown in for marketings sake.

Hell, If you ask me, they should have done the 'Secret Wars' story and then continued it with spidermans return to earth with the symbiote. Eddie Brock getting the symbiote. Then continued into a Venom series. (preferable Dark Origins)

thats not even possible. Who would you cast as lobo anyway? Glenn danzig? The only thing that made the spidey movies great was bruce motha fuckin campbell. Willem dafoe was good too.
