The problem is, the CGI hasen't evolved since the first movie, Spidey dosen't look any better or more realistic since the first movie.

They are using the same CGI models and graphics since the first movie, because it costs less.

well hopefully this movie can pull sony corp. out of bankruptcy!

they change the orgin of the black suit....

from what i remember from the animation series, the black suit
is extra terrestrial and makes spiderman become sorta evil.

so i was just wondering why they need so many vilains in this
flick. it would be really almost a movie's worth just to see
spiderman battle this other side of himself.

he got it at the end of "secret wars" ( a 12 issue series that took a bunch of super villains and heroes to a patch work planet to fight for amusement of the Beyonder) it was given to him by the Beyonder (a god like being from 'beyond') it made its own webs and like you said made him go a bit evil.

cool. you know your spiderman facts!

i wish they'd rock an old skool look for one of the spidey movies. keep the storyline and continuity going, but just give the look of the film a more retro/60s look - make his costume less hypertech looking, have villains that don't look like something out of power rangers, and take a cue from the classic spidey comics while actually setting it in the current day. just for one movie. maybe if raimi steps off, they'll go with a different look for the next one?

i under stand that sam.toby, and Kirsten have all said they are not interested in a 4th. Kirsten Dunst had the nerve to say that if there was a 4th with out the original cast it would flop!

I disagree....hell Jake Gyllenhaal is a natural for Perer Parker and any hot young actress could take over as MJ. like Scarlett Johansson...

i read that...though i think the franchise is bigger than the director and cast. if they got good enough replacements, i think a 4th movie would work just fine. just like batman, superman, bond, etc...

Anx said:

I think Jake Gyllenhaal would be good as Peter Parker/Spidey. Rumor was that he was the alternate choice for 2 due to Maguire's health problems.

live4lust said:

rumor also has it Jake may PASS on spidy and do "Shazam" (big mistake if i wanted to see a crappy superman rip off i would watch super man III IV and Returns)

SlamGlam said:

i'd love to see a captain marvel movie - but again, only if they keep true to the look of the comic, which in this character's case, i think is EXTRA important. i also think they should find a middle eastern actor to play captain marvel, but whadda i know?

Anx said:

i am still haunted by the crappy Saturday morning show....

SlamGlam said:

That would be a huge mistake! Jake has some of the easy charm that Maguire couldn't manufacture if he had a whole factory working on it.

live4lust said:

but maybe they are too much alike?

SlamGlam said:

You think so? I see them as very different, although I like both. Maguire does the nerdy stuff really well, but Peter Parker didn't stay that way forever in the comics.

SlamGlam said:

with that beanpole hippie lookin' captain marvel?

Anx said:

I disagree. Raimi is the main reason why Spidey is the best superhero movie franchise around. If you don't have people who love & respect comics working on these films, it's a disaster. Look what happened to Batman with Schumacher and X-Men 3.

uPtoWnNY said:

i agree that raimi helped make the spidey movies a success and that his knowledge of the comic books was key to the success. but spidey's been around since the 60s. he's more than a household name. the success of this character is not wholly dependent on sam raimi, and to think otherwise would be kind of silly. get another director in who knows his/her stuff with the comic mythology and i'm sure it could easily be just as successful.

live4lust said:

yeah, i've been thinking that since the first spiderman movie.
they do look somewhat similar, jake and toby.

Anx said:

Marvel's problem is they haven't been doing that lately.

uPtoWnNY said:

i think marvel's problem is also that the spidey movie franchise has become so high profile, they can't afford NOT to do that if they keep on without raimi and co. - if they take spidey down the road of FF, daredevil, ghost rider, etc., then yeah. he's screwed.

Anx said:

Of course. Spider-man is Marvel's flagship character. He's to Marvel what Supes is to DC. If Marvel screws up the Spidey franchise with a sub-par film, there'll be a cry like you wouldn't believe. Some fans are still ticked off over the organic web shooters.
