^Congrats on an awesome review!

The kiss really was the "Oh fuck this movie" breaking point moment for me. Peter is made out to be so incredibly in love with MJ, desiring to marry her, then he does that shit in front of her face!?!? There are stupid moments, and then there is ridiculous shit like that. A 10 year old would know that plot device makes no sense.

Like the one in the film yelling, NO SPIDEY,NO, during that scene.

Jesus, seriously kid, your trying too hard and reading wayyy too much into this movie.. He kissed her cause he let fame go to his head and as a result, he was caught up in the moment and did what he did.. Why is this so hard to grasp???

Thats exactly what the kiss was about. I actually have no problem with it. Spidey was getting too cocky thats for sure.

There are simply some people who have a low attention span that have to try and read into every little thing to find fault with it, especially this movie.. It wasn't hard to figure out even after the 1st viewing plus it helps greatly to pick up a SPIDERMAN comic and see that this was taken directly from the comics when Peter was briefly involved with Gwen Stacey in the comics..

Wouldnt a person with low attention span have a problem with this film and just be awed by every bright light and quick action sequence? Im backing this film, but come on, change your tune, anyone with enough sense can see at least one of the many flaws with Spiderman. I liked the third film the most, and thats because I take Spiderman for what he really is, a series of mediocre movies that entertain the masses. The third just did it the most. There by no means the definative superhero films though.

And please, Parker and MJ were on the outs when he was with Gwen, not Parker was in absolute puppy love with MJ.

Based on it's box office take, it's the definitive superhero movie..

Yea and Night at the Museum is the definitive Comedy and Wild Hogs is the definitive Motorcycle film. MOney means shit to quality these days. And I guess Casino Royale is the definitive Bond film then

Sweet! Masterful debating skills gunner, with just the right amount of sarcasm. Especially enjoyed the twist 'o the knife at the end there...

Gwen was Peter's first girlfriend in the comics... before MJ

BKB's words just pwned himself... Seriously. This is worse than excel thinking Supes would get vengeful.

I was thinking of the old cartoon, but thanks for the support

In one breath, Devin

a) criticises people for hyperbole, and
b) calls people who complain about a movie "terrorists"

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Spiderman I was daring. Reinvented the Green Goblin to make him a plausible villain. Mental illness + combat outfit + visible obsession (never overstated) with scary tribal masks = an updated version of a foe that, in the original format, would be somewhat silly in a live action film.

Spiderman II didn't try so hard. Character development imported wholesale from the first film (why is he going through the same issues again?). Plus, they didn't bother changing the villain to make him believable. Compare the Green Goblin's compelling mirror scenes, growing confusion, and (if you want) comment on the increasingly corporate arms trade with, "Aren't you worried that your robotic arms will take over your brain?" - "Don't worry - I've installed this small but sadly highly flammable chip as a safeguard. Oh, and the robotic arms are to hold a tiny sun, that I make myself."

I haven't seen Spiderman III, and I don't really want to - because, while I was massively impressed by One, I was incredibly let down by Two, and the trailer for Three left me cold. I rather hoped that WOKJ would give me cause to rethink that, but I haven't seen anything that's made me want to give it a shot

Very hit and miss, I still enjoyed myself.

Raimi did take the campy nature of the Spider-Man series to a whole new level with this film and though he could've done a much better job it still worked for me in some instances, the Saturday Night Fever evil Peter Parker was great, loved it, just hillarious, it worked for me. Birth of Sandman scene was awsome, one of the best scenes in the whole franchise and so was the Church scene, really well done. Then theres times where you cant believe the direction Raimi is going with the story and why, alot of the dialouge and scenes just felt like such a retread of the first two films, those repetitive speeches and ridiculous story angles and scenes, like others have said they either should've cut it down...alot, or add more depth to the story and not be so loose and fill in the blank with so many points in the film. The battle royale at the end was amateurish, really the only comparison to a film such as Batman and Robin that I was able to see in the film, very corny, the build up leading to it (from Brock finding Sandman to Parker asking Harry for help), end of the fight was stomach turning aswell (that Sandman speech ) but thats only one of 10 endings the film had. I dont even wanna talk about Venom, I knew Raimi had it in for him from the get go, he didnt wanna make a film involving Venom and it showed with the little amount of screen time he had.

Anyways, it was a mixed bag that offered many great scenes and alot of lousy ones aswell, still an entertaining blockbuster for me and maybe the reason I didnt hate it like alot of others is because I wasnt very attached to this franchise to begin with.

Grade - B/B-

So I saw this today. I think that scene with Peter in the jazz club may be the worst movie scene I ever seen. Seriously, I mean it. It was uncomfortable, embarrassing. It was awful. All people involved with the making of that scene should be humiliated.

Otherwise, I thought the movie was alright. Not as bad as some people are letting it. But I wouldn't call it good. It wasn't Ghost Rider awful but it was definitely scrapping the barrel. The action scenes, which were rare, were pretty good, but everything else was just poorly written. And poorly acted, God can Kirsten and Tobey not act.

C or thereabouts. Not a movie I ever wanna see again.

Yow! -- scrapping the barrel bad!!!

So, I forced myself to watch it last night.

7.5/10 C

It started out good, even though the editing was god awful. I was gonna prove everyone wrong by showing them it wasn't as bad as everyone says...

But then... Harry gets his memory back, AND BAM, shitty movie city.

I mean, what the hell happened?! How could they go from such a great movie in #2 to this pile of shit!? The ONLY shining part of the second half was the final fight, and that lasted about 5 minutes... lame.

COME ON RAIMI!!! If you didn't want to do Venom, then DON'T! Don't have him in the movie and then fuck him up.

I can't believe I ended up watching it... I'm very disappointed with myself.

um when producer Avi Arad tells raimi he has to have venom and gwen, there aint a lot sam can do about it.

excuses.

Only an idiot would not see the intention of that scene and only an idiot would complain about it not making sense. The movie made complete sense. If you're going to complain about something in the movie don't complain about it not making sense. You have to be a complete moron to think it didn't make sense.
