You're lucky. At least you could blame it on the ignorance of youth. I had to blame it on the ignorance of high-school seniors. My state is developmentally retarded... friggin' kids/young adults.

There seems to be a common theme present in our experiences. I was stuck in a theatre with a bunch of girls who would shout "OH NO!!!" Then giggle themselves stupid during every scene. I'm partially deaf. When I can hear what you're saying over a movie, that's pretty loud.

Someone brought a baby, to boot. So I got giggling and crying. The best of both worlds.

There were a lot of talkers at my show, too. Some little kids, some teens. It was only the 5:15 show and it looked to be sold out. Some crowd reactions were awesome, though. I swear the entire theater actually booed when

Spoiler:

Harry and MJ kissed in the kitchen.

Same here. The theatre I was in was clearly upset with that scene. The boo birds came out big time and an obnoxious boy in the back even yelled "whore"

[Raph's Girl]

My theatre was relatively sane...except for this 5 year old little girl I met in line who was an obvious TMNT fan more than Spider-Man...She got excited when I showed the Raph key chain thing I keep on my purse. *L* ..when the movie started and Harry first appeared on screen I heard her wonder outloud "Is he a bad dude???"

[GK Punk]

I really enjoyed the movie. It wasn't the best of the three, but I don't think it was as bad as a lot of people say it is. there were certain parts that were rushed, but I forgive them 'cause I absolutley loved the rest of the movie.

The issue of suicide, the duel personality and relationship between he and the symbiote, the consequent struggle between justice and revenge that occurs in him. The idea that Venom is the anti-Spider Man, a lethal protector who straddles the line of good and evil would have made for a very compelling storyline.

Thank you for saying that. It really grinds my gears when Silver Age purists have to rip on a character just because they're not from their preferred era.

Spoiler:

If you want two dimensional Spider-Man villains, look at Carnage, not Venom.

Any idea where they could go if there is a possible sequel? There's still plenty of Spidey villains that could be used.

Electro, Kraven, Mysterio or Vulture could be good villains. Scorpion would be questionable. Kingpin would be great, but I'm not sure about him, because I believe Fox has the rights to the character due to the Daredevil movie.

Spoiler:

I suppose the Lizard could work, if handled properly. Perhaps if they also brought in Kraven. The Lizard could wreak havoc on the city and Kraven sees it as the hunt of a lifetime. Spidey would be caught in the middle knowing that the Lizard is actually Prof. Connors and not wishing to harm him, while Kraven is only concerned with having a new hunting trophy on his wall. Who knows? All I know is that I'm getting crazy ideas, which means I need to go to bed.

I think about half the packed theater was screaming "whore" then. I thought, "what dumbasses... they made it abundantly clear in each movie that MJ's a fickle broad. They should have seen this coming a mile away, yet they're all shocked and screaming like kids at a McDonald's playground".

[GK Punk]

i yelled whore haha

[The Stryker]

Only thing I said during the movie was 'Hit Her Again!'

Haha.

The crowd reaction to this were giant gasps, they were all stunned...I couldn't help but laugh and I got really dirty looks.

I uhhh... am I the only one who thought

Spoiler:

Harry and MJ's kiss was kinda sweet? I mean... it would be kind of like starting over, who wouldn't want a handsome rich friend with memory-loss (a.k.a. the old pre-crazy-schizophrenia and NICE Harry)

I went to Thursday's midnight showing. My theater didn't boo, but they were all "Ooooooo!" and "Oh no you di'int!" and then you heard the obligatory "WHORE!" and "SLUT!" from the row in front of me... the whole row was drunkards in their late 20's. They were warned twice by management...

Another thing:

Spoiler:

Am I also the only one who felt sorry for Harry all through this movie?

By a mile? Did you even watch the 2nd movie? 3 is nothing but an over acted action movie. It has everything the other movies did only its done poorly.

The action scenes are great, the story is decent, but the drama is terrible. And there are some parts I seriously couldn't hold back laughing with how insanely stereotypical they made Peter's "dark" character. Jazz dance scenes? I mean Yeah Rami always had fun and messed around but that was way to much. I even took in Mary Jane's singing parts better then that.

This movie also has a shattered plot. Spider-man 2 feels complete. Spider-man 3 feels like they ran out of film so they had to jam 4 hours worth the material into one movie.

I don't rip on Venom because he's not from the sliver age, I rip on him because he's a s*it character

[Peanut]

But that's your opinion. He said he liked it more than the others by a mile. And while I didn't like better by an entire mile, I would say half a mile will do for me.

Shut the hell up pushing your opinions on movies. People can think whatever they like. First it was the music sh*t, and now this. Just because you see every sh*tty underground film that comes out doesn't mean you're an expert.

I never minded him much myself. The problem with him is the blunt of his fans just like him because "he looks cool". I see why they tossed him in there, but it's Spider-man. People are going to like it just fine, you don't need to use a ploy like Venom being in it to get people to see your movie.

But like I told my roommate this is the best third movie I've seen in a long time*And no Return Of The King doesn't count they were all filmed at the same time* Unlike Blade 3 or Xmen 3 I was still entertained in Spider-man. Just after viewing the whole product I wasn't satisfied.

I know I'll end up viewing it again so I'll see what that does for me. I know I liked TMNT better after a 2nd viewing, but with TMNT I wasn't sure what I didn't like and with this I know exactly.

Yeah, spit. I've seen the second movie. I liked 3 more than one and two. Yes the emo dark paker was a bit lame, but they were trying to get their point across. They must appeal to a larger audience than just you. (young children)

So, if I disliked Spiderman 2, will this one not be that much better?

Well, there are more action scenes to level out the drama, so yeah, I think you should give it a shot.

[gobo]

I agree with Cure. It's worth seeing. Personally, I could hardly stand 2. Way too many minor annoyances as well as the fact that they over-accentuated the drama. With that in mind, my expectations for this one were that it wouldn't be all that much more enjoyable. But, I was pleasantly surprised that it turned out to be more action than drama. While it might not meet a Spider-fan's hopes, it was as enjoyable a thrill-ride as I expect Die Hard 4 to be.

[Spike Spiegel]

I'm just glad that

Spoiler:

MJ doesn't die

I know this even though I haven't seen it yet.
