I don't blame them I watched the whole series and it was pretty bad. The ending was cool and had they finished off that story arc that would have been good. but instead they spent the whole season doing crap episodes instead of focusing on the cool Venom Carnage plot.

It had potential, and a lot of it. I think they just didn't know what to do with it.

They already made a Spider-Man Unlimited figure.

Ack, too bad it's 2 years old and a ToyBiz figure, not one of the newer Hasbro ones. Still gives a little hope. The design it's self isn't too bad. I think the mask doesn't really look right on that suit though.

Hasbro makes worse toys than Toybiz, have you guys seen the new Marvel Legends, or SPider-Man 3 toys? They suck, and the proportions are off.

Not out of the package I haven't. I've seen them on shelves while looking at Transformers, but that's about it. I'm guessing they aren't worth picking any up then?

Are they going to still make a new "Unlimited" figure?? I figured since they did make a 2099 one in the origins seires, Scarlet Spider and "Unlimited" could'nt have been too far off as well.

There's nothing at fault with much of the direction, even the infamous "Day to night" Alcatraz invasion is explained in those excellent deleted scenes

Had Fox and Marvel been a little more hesistant and a lot more paitent with their franchise, they could have put the Jean/Phoenix story into a fourth film.
Yeah, too bad they didn't keep it in originally so in theaters it came off as a sloppy edit. It wasn't like the final cut of the movie ran long or anything, I'm sure they could have fit a few more scenes in there.

I thought X3 was good, but it came off as very rushed. Having all those mutants doesn't bother me, but it seemed like they needed another half hour to really do them justice.

Dude, let it go. Unlimited was pants, it's not healthy to hold on to a failed show and obess over it.

For once we can agree on something. One of the reasons Beyond was the only good future set series I have watched.

Just got back from seeing it. Here's my random thoughts. Slight spoilers for those who haven't been watching the trailers and such.

The plot was kind of unhinged. There was a lot of 'drama', which left the action sequences little room to breathe. There was a bit too much Parker and too little Spider-Man. The symbiote storyline felt completely out of place, and Venom really had no place being in the movie.

The action was good, though like in the previous movies there was too much (bad) CGI. There's one specific fight which was very cool, as was the final battle for a certain reason I won't reveal.

MJ was a total whiny b*tch in this movie, but fortunately there was the much hotter Gwen Stacy to replace her. She didn't get much screentime, but again, she was hot.

ANGRY PETER isn't really angry at all, he is COOL PETER instead. This is hilarious, and let it be known that there is dancing. In the street.

Sandman was cool, but his presence was overshadowed by other things.

Overall it really isn't a very good movie; in all honesty it is comically bad at times. Still, if nothing else it is entertaining, and I think fans of the series will enjoy it.

This is true, though I can't say for certain if it was actually Kirsten Dunst singing or a voice double.

...Wow.

Sometimes I wonder if the critics really "get" Spider-Man when they bash these movies

Fortunatly, those that DO consider it excellent.

Have you even seen the movie yet, Zarius?

If you haven't, shut the f*ck up, you don't even know what you're talking about.

If you have, shut the f*ck up, no one cares about your inane ramblings.

I've seen the movie for myself and I am perfectly capable of forming my own opinions, so please get off your damn high horse.

Critics aren't usually the issue. The issue is the general audience doesn't normally get it.

Alot of movies I like get rave reviews and they make no money at all. Sometimes I disagree with critics but for the most part movies that get bad ratings are ones that make more money.

Spider-man 2 set the standards for all comic book movies really high. This would by why I thought X 3 was crap, also because X 2 made me expect something better.

Blade 3, crap. Daredevil, crap. Cat Women, crap. 300, crap*Yeah alot of people all disagree with this one I know it but pretty CGI wash overs don't impress me*. Fantastic Four, crap. Ghost Rider, crap. Electra, crap.

If you look most of these movies got poor reviews to along with it being a poor movie. Spider-man 3 will level out. I bet anything I will enjoy it more then the first but I doubt the 2nd. Having 3 villains in a movie on top of Spidey battling with himself is a little much to cram into 2 and half hours. Doc Oct fit into 2 hours how are 3 villains going to fit into an extra half hour?
