Ugh.

Dunst seriously is the worst MJ on the f*cking planet. I wish they'd reboot the franchise, it's out of steam, and Raimi's style is good for a few things, but since he's stuck in the 1960s, we're not going to get anything more concrete where Peter's concerned. He doesnt "get" him at all. The villains he seems to care about more.

It would be way too soon to reboot, I think. It has to wait a little while longer. Rebooting Hulk had mixed results.

Something tells me this will be like the 1970's Superman films... 2 great ones at the beginning, and forgettable stuff thereafter. They really should have cut the amount of villains in 3 in half.

I liked Kirsten at first, but I like her less and less as the sequels go on. In 3 she seemed to have absolutely no chemistry with Peter. I know that was the point, but still...

Looking back, my 'The Jester made me do it' joke/excuse for the initial bad joke was rather unclear... This is what happens when I get bored. >_<

Few can avoid-act like Kirsten. Tell her what to do, and she might be able to hit that mark. But, tell her what not to do, and she gets it every time.

Fixed it for you. Read the manual next time.

I think the first two barely hold up. Sam didnt "get" Peter and MJ at all, and seeemed to have a ball with everyone else, which I thought were some of the best interpretations period of Norman, Harry, and Doc Ock.

Spider-man 3 didn't sit well with me. I'm a huge fan of Spidey though and I'm hoping he can get it right this time. A proper sequel(s) to Spider-man 2 definitely has my undivided attention. While Peter Parker was portrayed in what I found an appropriate way in the trilogy, i definitely think there are a couple attributes missing from his comic counterpart. I'm excited for James (Vanderbelt?..forgot the last name)'s script, so if they can fix up Peter just a little bit, I think this series will be back on track in a very good way.

It doesn't matter if the writers get the character right, because Maguire's got the charisma of a wet sponge and Raimi doesn't seem to have any interest in taking his source material seriously anyway.

Despite those things, Dunst is still the worst part of these movies. I figured Marvel would pull the plug after Raimi clearly took the piss with Spidey 3, but I guess they didn't get the joke (or it still made a boatload of cash).

That was their own fault. They begged Raimi to abandon a cohearant script he had with Vulture and Sandman, and stick an overrated, irrelevant character into it just to sell toys. Sam had every right to mangle the script and make it a piss-take, it'd lost any appeal to him.

Yeah, I know, but I figured Marvel wouldn't want to work with him anymore after that.

I wouldn't say so much over rated at the moment as over done.

Sigh.

I was actually looking forward to a Spider-man movie without the hack and the mannequin. Oh well.

Freaking 15 year olds and their internet culture... ruinin' all them vampires for us people who liked their campy attributes... people who wanna watch Blackula and Love at First bite and Groovy Ghoulies and like that....


They might as well revisit Spider-man's villains from The Electric Company while we're at it:

He's a cool character in his own right but not enough to carry a whole film. If it had some others in it he would make a good supporting villain. Honestly I see him fitting in better with Ghost Rider. Yeah vampires are over done but so are ninjas, zombies, and pirates. At least he was an established character. There's a bunch of others I'd prefer to see so this comes rather left field.

I watched Spider-man 2 recently and it didn't do anything for me. It used to be my favorite comic movie, saw it five times in theaters two of them Imax, but it lost that magic. I hated 3 but I need to give it another chance since I've only seen it once and I went in with expectations that were way too high.

I'll see what happens. I'm sure I'll end up in the theater. Spider-man is on the list with Batman and the Ninja Turtles of series I'll always give a chance...
