Spiderman 3

I thought is was disjointed and the pacing was terrible.

Some storylines were ignored for extended periods whilst others were given far too much screen time, but delivered little. Also, there was too little backstory relating to the bad guys.

Awful, awful attempt and I'm very disappointed.

I'd have to agree with that. The film never seemed to have any real direction.

There's a lot of stuff in the film that I'm happy to let go (the meteorite just happened to fall next to Peter Parker, the guy who killed Parkers dad just happened to fall into the sand pit etc etc) but there was one part that really stood out to me as being riduclous.

When Marko falls into the sandpit pit, the scientists actually realise the is ''extra silicon material''. Now they know 'something' is there, but for all their high tech scientific equipment, they can only tell that something is there, not what it actually is, or even how big it is. So in other words it could be anything from a mouse to an elephant there and they wouldn't know the difference.

Ok, so now they know that there is something in the pit that shouldn't be there, do they -

A: Halt the experiment until they can find out what is in the sandpit that shouldn't be there. This is obviously a cutting edge scientific experiment after all.

Or...

B: Assume it's just a bird that will 'fly away' once the machine starts.

:rolleyes:
 
I thought this was a cool film.
Bruce Campbell was fantastic in his scene. The one thing that did bug me was the when Harry's butler decided to let slip that his father did actually die by his own hands and not Spiderman's....I mean c'mon....you really should have said something a couple of years ago mate or did you enjoy watching Harry go bonkers?!

Now you see, I just don't see the point in questioning the logic of comic book films. These movies are based around certain key events and the screenplay writers need to join them together in the best way they can, of course this means there's going to be coincidences of questionable convenience. Is there an alternative? I'd like to hear one.

Totally agree.

For me things like that stretch credibility far more than anything lese in these type of films.

I'm not questioning the logic of comic book films. As I said, I let a lot of things go and for the most part I just buy the story as it is shown.

That scene just stood out to me though. It's not really anything to do with the fact that it is a comic book film. I'm sure there are a number of ways they could have gone about turning him into sandman. If the scene was exactly the same except they never mentioned that there was something in the sandpit then I wouldn't have even noticed it. You can't really put that down to comic book logic.

Comic book logic should at least make sense in it's own universe.

Dissapointed with the ending. :(

Spiderman should have died and the new Goblin should live.
Then they could start a Goblin series. :D

Missed opportunity!


Wasn't enough story for the Sandman either, he tries to rob some money to help his daughter? gets stopped by Spiderman, the end.

6/10
 
I thought it was really good. I hated the first two with a passion and was reluctant to see the third but I'm glad I did. I found the Sandman thing kinda pointless, though.
 
Emo spidey was hilarious, the whole walking down the street thing was brilliant, people take things too seriously if they wernt laughing at that.
 
Saw it last night and came on to have a rant but the forums were down :mad:

What a load of crud this film is, I was so disappointed by it. Really enjoyed the first Spiderman and thought the second was excellent too but what the hell happened to the third? Some really bad scenes that just totally destroyed the film for me, the bit where he goes emo and starts dancing down the street, the scene in the bar where the plays the piano and starts mincing about like a ****. I can handle the whole going emo thing but since when do emo’s start dancing down streets and go to jazz clubs? And no I don’t take the film to seriously I just think it did not suit the film at all

If there were fewer scenes like these and instead more screen time was given to develop the baddies, especially venom as he is such a cool bad guy, then I think it could have been a whole lot better. Marjory disappointed.

Coming soon to a cinema near you......Sandbird!
 
So much potential ruined by Sam Raimi. If they let him do another one it'll be a miracle. Spiderman 3 was a train wreck of a film. Such a let down.
