Spiderman 3 Blows

Oh look at me, I'm EMO-Man. This mask helps hide my shitty acting for at least half of my performances.

*Warning* Spoilers and a negative review after the jump

Mr. Positive: Dude, I think Spiderman 3 was good. It was what i thought it'd be, a soap opera. Think about Spiderman 2 and you'll see they took the 3rd movie into its logical next step.

Mr. Negative: "they took it down the next logical step..." Yes, down a shithole. That was the next logical step for Spiderman. Forget the spectacular fight scenes, even those couldn't save piss-poor acting and a crack-smoked plot.

1. Spiderman cried at least 5 times on command. The man is a superhero who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. It should take more than 3 seconds to make him cry like a bitch when things aren't going his way. This never fucking happened in the comic and sorry to sound like a fanboy but this was miles from his character.

2. Mary Jane is a vain bitch who is jealous of her boyfriend's fame. Boohoo, I don't give a shit you elitist slut. By the end of the story you don't even want Spiderman to stick with this dumb bitch. He should toss her back over the bridge and get with Gwen.

3. Venom looked great. Why the fuck do we only see him fight for 40 seconds? I don't give a shit about Sandman. He was a waste of $100 million of CGI. Then in the end nothing is resolved with him, he just vanishes into the wind like Michael Jackson in that "Do You Remember the Time" video.

4. Sam Raimi uses the symbiote as an element of coincidence in his warped plot. the symbiote goes into Parker's room and sits there for a good 40 minutes before it's convenient for Raimi to introduce it into the plot. Ba!

5. Incorporating the EMO fad in the story?!?!?! Don't get me fuckin started on this one!

6. Tobey Maguire can't dance. That was a waste of 15 minutes of my life. His entire dance of jealousy in the jazz club was not fascinating to me and did not look like it would make ANY ex-girlfriend wish she was still with you.

7. Harry Osborne getting killed instead of paralyzed...god. I try not to be a fanboy but that's just fucked.

The two highlights of the film were:

A. Bruce Campbell's cameo as the French waiter.

B. The Rush Hour 3 trailer.

they should have kept venom out of spiderman 3 as they had planned it...used it for four, allow for the characters to develop instead o fintroducing them and then throwing them in for 5 minutes
stupid whores for money at the studios who want money now and spend 250 million dollars on a movie for CG and can't spend 1% of that on scripts...

I saw Spiderman 3 a few days ago and thought it was good. Sure it had a few scenes that were a little awkward and wierd at times, but that doesn't mean it went down a shithole! I've read countless reviews by people like you who love to criticize this movie. Tell me then, what movie do you like, why don't you give an example of something far better and back that up with actual reasoning instead of opinion! You seem to be an amateur at reviewing movies. Stop crying about how bad it was! No one wants to hear your bullshit! mother FUCKER!

wow! too bad it actually was bad, and most reviews seem to stem from opinions anyway. i loved the spiderman movies, i was even an extra for the first one! but holy shit did this one suck. and using the phrase, yeah sure it was "awkward and weird" at times, is just further proof that the movie sucked big time. unless you watched the movie with these scenes cut out then fine, you might have something sort of decent. but as a package, in its entirety, as any movie should be reviewed, it was definitely a load of crap. hey, i looove sam raimi, i even love kiki dunst, but man, nothing could save this movie. and you know what was the worst? that fucking emo hipster hair swish whatever you want to call it, tobey does. and was that fucking eyeliner?!?!?!? come on!

I haven't seen S3 yet, but I think I have to agree with Mr. Negative. He sounds like a guy who liked Grindhouse like I did

Dude—it's spelled Spider-Man.

bla333 triple bla333 hidup bla333

Never mind the eyeliner - was Sandman wearing lipstick in that last scene?!

I like a bitchy review just as much as the next person, but your writing sucks shit.

FUck you Twit. You dont know shit. loser.

I agree Spiderman sucked! Bruce Campbell was the highlight. I can't believe you liked the Rush Hour trailer, that movie looked absolutely horrible!! BAAAAAAAAA!!

can you please shut the hell up! You don't know a good movie when you see one. I really liked the movie, but i didn't like how Venom was in it for like 20 minutes, but it was still good, plus they are not trying to base the movie on the comics anyways. Everyone cries dumbass. And tell me a comic book movie that is based off of the comics?? NONE!!!! And Harry did die in the comics dumbass.

"they are not trying to base the movie on the comics anyways"

So are they trying to base the movie on the true life story of Peter Parker of New York, NY?

"And tell me a comic book movie that is based off of the comics?? NONE!!!!"

Sigh. Sin City, 300, Batman Begins, X-Men, X-2, Superman. These were all excellent comic book to movie adaptations, and with the exception of the X-Men series they all stayed very faithful to the original stories.

"And Harry did die in the comics dumbass."

Yes but I believe it was much, much later, and he died slowly because of poisoning from the Green Goblin powers. Ass. In splinter stories, he became paralyzed during an altercation with Spider-man and thus hated him even more (the television show).

or wait I'm thinking of Alistaire Smyth...

who ever thought this movie sucked is gay

Henry...that is entirely retarded. Sin City and 300 (which wasn't an original idea in the first place) so closely follow the comics because FRANK MILLER WORKED ON THEM!

The X-Men, Superman, and Batman series BOTH took several liberties in their first movies. I'm not sure where you got the idea that they were extremely faithful to the "original" stories, but they're not. Wolverine wasn't even a fucking original X-Men character moron. Important characters are rolled up into one character, relationships are changed, etc. Movie-makers do what they think will draw more than just the average fan into the theater.

A comic book movie will NEVER be very faithful to the comic, because there's too much development that occurs in most comic series that have been running since the FREAKING '60 or '70s to stay very faithful. Get the fuck over it dude.

That might've been the most idiotic statement ON this site.

Or at least close to the statement that Spiderman 3 sucked because the characters developed more than "Mr. Negative" was able to comprehend. I'm sorry the movie wasn't serious enough for you, it always sucks when there're things that make you laugh in a movie...

First off, I thought the movie was pretty good, and of coarse he acted a bit emo, it was the fucking suit messing with his emotions, like he could fucking control it...

One flaw i could see was of coarse how they fit that many villians and didnt give the basis around them... and there was alot of feelings in that movie, i guess people who dont like spiderman, shouldnt of watched it, because its what i exspected coming from the first and second one to lead up to..

In all of the Spider-man movies the villain had a plan and Spider-man got in the way,but Venom's plan was to kill Spider-man. Venom would not run away from a fight to the death. If they put him in the next movie it wouldn't last long Venom has a big weakness and for Spider-man not to use it for his advantage is stupid.
If Harry died still hating Spider-man is kind of sad and those who do not know the comics would not like that.
Also what makes a bad movie is a bad ending. This movie had an awkward middle and a great ending.
The order,from least to greatest, is:
Spider-man
Spider-man 2
Spider-man 3

Thank you Mike, at least some people know what their talking about!

Yeah, it did happen in the comics, I had a crap load of spidey comics, before we got robbed.
BIG spider-man fan, KNOW YOUR CRAP, before talking it!
