I mean they should not have made Topher venom (though he would be a great Carnage) and Sandman was amazing. People said they messed up venom and that he was the most iconic villian or something when he really isn't that great imo.

Vulture is a interesting choice for a villian and I am sure with the Vulture/Vulturess Raimi had something planned. Also the cast of the Spiderman movies was great. Wasn't their supposed to be 5 spiderman villians with the lizard being the last spiderman villian?

This is not saying the Reboot will be bad but I do not understand why Sony would not continue Spiderman 4... considering Spiderman rakes in so much dough. I mean atleast Raimi does the WoW movie but they could have even had another director do 4.

I mean spiderman 3 isn't even that badly recieved by critics with a 59 on metacritic... I mean Starwars prequels got mixed scores but continued and did well at the box office.

It's not so much of Sony not wanting to do a Spider-Man 4, it's more Sam Raimi not wanting to make another one.

I agree that Spider-Man doesn't really need a reboot....at least, it certainly doesn't need one as badly as the X-Men franchise. That said, the last Spider-Man movie was pretty bad, especially compared to the first two movies. Not X-Men 3 bad, but bad. The dance/evil Peter musical sequence still haunts my dreams.

That doesn't mean you have to reboot it, just get a different director.

I hope they get a hotter and better Mary Jane. Didn't really like Kirsten Dunst that much.

That doesn't mean you have to reboot it, just get a different director.

You know, I really don't know why they didn't just go with that decision. In the end, I don't really blame Sam Raimi for ditching the fourth film. He didn't have a good experience with the third film because he didn't get the same freedom he had with the first two films. Sam Raimi understood the Spider-Man comics and knew how to handle them, thus why the first two were so great... But the third one the executives pretty much made him do what they told him to do and it ultimately made Spider-Man 3 a complete mess of a film. Now with Sam Raimi gone, seems like the studios just want to try catching lightning in a bottle once again by completely rebooting the Spider-Man franchise. I'm not going to say the reboot is going to be bad until we've at least seen enough of it, but I do think it's pretty silly the studio was so quick to make such a decision.

I think they should have just focused on Venom as a villain instead of juggling around 3 different villains. And Emo-Peter should have just been removed all together.

Ok? Your point? I personally don't like anime, but you don't see me going into anime threads saying I think anime sucks directly to the people who like anime. It's pretty pointless if you ask me.

Who says she needed to be attractive? If you found the Mary Jane in the comics, who happens to be a drawing, attractive well then, I don't know what to say.

Kirsten Dunst had the right features for MJ: dimples and eyes. But she's just not the knockout hot that MJ embodies.

I liked the movie up until Emo-Parker started emerging, then it just turned into a mess. But Spiderman doesn't need a reboot, especially since the last one was pretty recent.

I love Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane. She fits the role perfectly to me. She isn't the overly-attractive damsel in distress but she's pretty cute.

The only problem I had with the film was some scenes with Venom and Peter with his emotional issues. >_>

I thought 3 was okay. It just wasn't as good as 2. Its way too soon to be retreading the high school territory that was already covered with the first movie. This is a big mistake considering how a lot of these sequels etc have failed to set the box office alight recently.

Actually I found that to be an enjoyable part and the fight between Sandman and spiderman was great but the last fight felt like a Cluster... Venom felt rushed but Topher did a much better job than I thought he would as Venom (still should have been carnage).

It was a good movie it just didn't have the best ending

Spider-Man 3 was okay, but not as good as the first one and especially not as good as the second one. I agree. There's no need to remake the franchise especially since the Raimi trilogy is still fresh.

I think that's pretty much it. Sony doesn't want to stop making these films because they rake in ridiculous amounts of loot. However, the fact that the 3rd one left a bad taste in people's mouths combined with the fact that the director and actors no longer want to make them, I think Sony simply thinks that they need a reboot in order to keep the series as a cash-cow.

I liked it, kind of, but it's the worst in the trilogy and a reboot all depends on the directors, writers, cast, etc. to be good or not.

Yes, Spider-Man 3 was that bad. It pretty much ruined numerous story-lines that the franchise could have taken. It felt like it was a spoof of the Spider-Man films. I can't think of one positive quality about the film. The franchise needed a reboot.

I agree; the dancing part was enjoyable. It brought a comedic flare to the movie that succeeded in making me laugh. I mean this in a good way, in case that wasn't clear.

I find it ironic that they went for the emo hairstyle. It was at that point when Peter was acting the least emo (ie: confident and extroverted).

Spider-Man 3 was mediocre. Some part of me wanted to like the movie, but in the end I just couldn't bare to. They seriously screwed up Venom and the whole scene with Peter Parker dancing around was just idiotic. Sandman was excellent though, I just wish the movie was more centered around him. And I agree that a reboot is the only appropriate action at this point, however, I have no reason to expect the same level of quality as the first two films. For all we know, it could be ten times worse than Spider-Man 3, but we'll see.

We talked about this in the FAU, and it makes no sense to me. From what I understood Raimi and TM were on board, but Sony wanted to go in another direction. Bad idea IMO, even if my info is wrong.

Spidey 3 sucked. But 1 & 2 were good. If Batman 3 sucks should WB just drop Nolan and Bale? Especially so soon after starting up the franchise?

In all honesty, it is one of the worst movies i have ever seen in my life. It was, quite literally, hard to watch I would be happy if everyone involved in that movie was forbidden from ever working on another project again

As for the reboot thing, I think there was a disagreement with how the series was going to go with number 4 between Raimi and Maguire and Sony. But it looks like they're going to return and keep the new reboot series in high school for a couple of years, sticking with the comics a little more closely.

Yes, I think other people deserve a chance. Three films is enough, besides, Mark Webb more than capable of directing.

I mean they should not have made Topher venom (though he would be a great Carnage) and Sandman was amazing. People said they messed up venom and that he was the most iconic villian or something when he really isn't that great imo.

Vulture is a interesting choice for a villian and I am sure with the Vulture/Vulturess Raimi had something planned. Also the cast of the Spiderman movies was great. Wasn't their supposed to be 5 spiderman villians with the lizard being the last spiderman villian?

This is not saying the Reboot will be bad but I do not understand why Sony would not continue Spiderman 4... considering Spiderman rakes in so much dough. I mean atleast Raimi does the WoW movie but they could have even had another director do 4.

I mean spiderman 3 isn't even that badly recieved by critics with a 59 on metacritic... I mean Starwars prequels got mixed scores but continued and did well at the box office.

1) Yes, Spider-Man 3 WAS that bad. It was ****ing god-awful.

2) Here's why Raimi refused to do Spider-Man 4...because he was forced into making Spider-Man 3 into ****, and all indications were leading to the idea that Sony was taking the exact same attitude with the development of Spider-Man 4. The studio wasn't interested in quality or allowing Sam Raimi to make the movie that he wanted to make, so Sam Raimi walked. Then, almost as soon as it was confirmed that Raimi left, it was announced that there would be a "gritty reboot" with a younger and more teen-relatable cast. Make no mistake...that's likely the direction that Sony was pushing Sam Raimi into in the first place. Then when he walked, they just went with that idea with the intention of getting a new director who hasn't earned enough respect or clout to tell the studio to **** off.

3) Write this down, quote me on it, and then bring it up when Spider-Man 4 is released: I'm predicting right now that Spider-Man 4 (or Spider-Man reboot) is going to be ****ing garbage.

[QUOTE="Nerd_Man"]It's not so much of Sony not wanting to do a Spider-Man 4, it's more Sam Raimi not wanting to make another one.Raiden004

That doesn't mean you have to reboot it, just get a different director.

The problem is that once Raimi left, Maguire and Dunst left as well.

Apparently they were sick of that **** too, and the only thing getting them to consider coming back was the possibility of working with Sam Raimi again. Once he left, they left.

And then, how do you get that to work? The director is gone, freaking Spider-Man himself is gone, and Mary Jane is gone. "Reboot" is pretty much the only option left, at that point.
