you got to remember spacemonkey,this is the spiderman section where the people that love these horrible Man-Spider movies will love the movies no matter how horrible they are because all that matters to them is seeing the name spiderman up on the screen with an actor dressed in a spiderman outfit.they will never take the blinders off and get past how cool the special effects are and see how horribly written these movies really are.

Saw it, Second one was better, and so was the first. But it was better than X-men 3. Not as good as Superman Returns or Batman Begings Either. Slightly better than X-men 1 and not as good as X-men 2. Better than Ghost Rider and Daredevil and slaughters The Hulk, Elektra, and Catwoman...

The movie wasn't horribly written. The only reason Venom was squeased in there was because that one guy convinced Raimi to use him. Raimi didn't even like Venom. He was forced by sony too to push Venom into it which is why Venom had such little screen time. The movie also seemed rushed because sony made Raimi cut a crap load of scenes out just to shorten the movie, hence the Petition thread. A lot of the stuff that happens in the movies is because of fans and Sony.
But then again, I still liked the movie. Too each his own I guess.
Also, not to be imposive or anything, but if you don't like the Spiderman movie franchise, why do you go to see them? In hopes that you might like the next one?
Seeing as how you keep saying how those two crappy first ones were so great its hard for me to take you serious when you say THIS one wasnt horrible. 😄 especially after everything I have heard about it.Tobey doing that moronic John Travolta imitation and Billy Joel impersonation because of the symbiote.Sounds everybit as corny and stupid as that scene in man-spider 2 where they played that cheesy as hell raindrops keep falling on my head song showing how dorky peter was.Raimi was clearly the wrong director for these movies.He does nothing original in them and copies everything off the superman movies.He even said so himself.the opening of the shirt to reveal the spider-taken from supes,Peter acting like a dork all the time-he wasnt a dork in college for god sakes 😠 that idiot Raimi needs to go and they need a new director who knows what he is doing and do a batman begins thing,restart the whole series and make a GOOD spider-man film and let true fans see SPIDER-MAN on the screen instead of this phony man-spider version. 😘

So you want the movies to be exactly like the comics? Everyone has there own opinions. If you don't like it, thats great, but whats the point of critisizing everyone who liked the movies? The reason I love Spiderman so much is because I grew up with his shows and he has been my favorite fictional character since forever. The movies basicly have the same villains and slightly altered story lines. Its no different than another comic book except its on the big screen.
I'm a HUGE Spiderman fan but I don't want the movies to be exactly like the comic or we will get a Sins Past or Clone Saga or Planet of the Symbiotes movie and from what I hear, people hate those comics. Though I like sins past. I haven't read the others. The movies where written just fine. Just because its not a comic on the big screen, doesn't mean no one will like it. The first two where amazing and thats just my opinion.

I don't even know you anymore. I could live with you liking the Clone Saga or Planet of the Symbiotes (Thou symbiotes was crap) but SINS PAST! 🙄
Thats the worse piece of shit anyones ever done to Spidey and he's been through allot.

Meh, I'm about three comics into it so I'm on the part where peter gets his butt kicked in the grave yard by Gwens Kids.
And its not the worst. Aunt May has been killed by a freakin Sniper. A sniper!!! That sucks way more than that. Though I never knew 616 Gwen Stacy like everyone else.

Oh and, GWEN WASN'T A WHORE!!!!!!!!!!!!😠
I was very disappointed. The trailers made it look like it would be the best movie ever made. It was bad.
- The storylines didn't link together at all
- The didn't flesh out Peter having the black suit well enough
- We didn't see a dark Peter, we saw a cocky arrogant Peter. NOT what I wanted to see. I wanted a very dark character to enjoy watching. They didn't take his dark side seriously
- We didn't once see Spider-Man, in his red-and-blue or his black suit stop crime
- They didn't convey well enough that the suit greatly enhanced his powers
- There's wasn't enough scenes of the symbiote covering Peter
- There really wasn't enough Venom in the movie
- Some very bad scenes written, like the butler convincing Harry.
The movie could've been much better.

Untrue.
You know how much I love this franchise, but I didn't like this one. It was badly written.
Nothing wrong with the first two.

Agreed on all fronts. In saying that I still like 3 better then 2, there was something about 2 that just didn't sit well with me. 2 and 3 were equally as bad IMO in terms of scenes and lines etc. but 3 at least had more eye candy 😬. I thought 2's GC was abysmal, cartoony almost. IMO Spiderman 1's GC is better then 2's by far.
Spiderman 1 though is possibly the best comic book movie ever done though. Fantastic movie, too bad the just couldn't nail the same magic with 2 and 3 as they did with 1.
