Hey look, a troll has made his into a thread that has nothing to do with what he's talking about. Typical.
 
Thank the heavens that Marvel decided to use common sense and reboot their greatest character Spiderman. I am a huge Thor fan but Spiderman was always my fav growing up and I am still shamed by what Sam Raimi did to our the entire spidey franchise........He messed everything up.

While realizing that it is difficult to keep all the source material intack during a movie, I am 100% for keeping it as close as possible, Raimi purposefully twisted and turned everything into a mess, to a point that by the time we reached the 3rd movie, Spiderman did not even seem like Spiderman anymore.... Here are the 10 things that Raimi did to force Marvel into a Reboot of the Franchise in order to save it for generations to come.

1.) He made a laughable joke out of the Green Goblin, as well as Harry Osborn (turning him into the Rocket Racer.) as well as Vemon.

2.) He messed Doc Ock up even more, making him a Hero and giving him a normal life, a wife until the Accident, Doc Ock was a crazed genuis, a total loser in life who focused soley on work, and the explosion sent him over the edge, he had no redeeming value and would have never destoryed his own invention.

3.) Toby was not Peter Parker, he has no comedy value whatsoever, and Spiderman not talking his villians down while beating the holy crap out of them is simply not the Spiderman we all grew up with.

4.) Kristen was not Mary Jane, MJ was a Knockout beauty that forced all who looked upon her to do a doubletake, male and female alike....A Supermodel. Kristen was a Plain Jane and did not embody the role at all.

5.) The Story....What else can I say, Tobey looked like a senior in College instead of a high School freshman. Where the Hell was Gwen Stacy, They waited and crammed her in during the third movie, she was Peters 1st love and the main reason he committed himself to being a hero after he lost her.

6.) The Story...... The Sandman did not Shoot Ben....For crying out loud, The Green Goblin is not a Power Rangers Villian, and Spiderman did not soley exist to save Mary Jane each time she got in touble like he did mulitple times in each film.

7.) No issue with the organic web shooters, but they underplayed Spideys other powers, my main issue is with Tobey and his habit of fighting with his mask off, Hell everyone in New York new who He was by the 3rd film, and as the Civil War taught us, Spiderman Secert id is his most important asect.

8.) Most of the 1st movie was trash, Half of of the 2nd movie was Trash and ALL of the 3rd movie was trash......nuff said.

9.) I know the returns was nice since their are so many Spiderman fans out their but Marvel had to be covering their eyes and holding their breath upon seeing that horrible trilogy.

10.) No emotion form any of the Characters really, go back and watch it if you can stomach it. Sam Raimi should never be allowed to touch a Marvel Franchise again.

Okay, I think you should put that post on other thread or even make your own thread " Anti Sam Raimi " or something like that. Not here.

They didn't turn him to Rocket Racer, he's an Awesome Goblin
Seriously, why am I the only one who thinks the New Goblin suit & gear surpass the comic version? Especially the glider
Harry goblin was the personality his father should've been made in the movie

Before graduation he was a high school sr. the rest of the franchise he was in college

I love the series
Sam Raimi should never be allowed to touch a Marvel Franchise again.
How come? JMS is a major Spidey fan, but his work on Thor was superior, don't you think Raimi could do the same?

Also, there is the sub-forums to discuss the whole Raimi/Maguire/Dunst/Franco trilogy, no need to cry over it here
 
okay, let's get back to topic ;)

If you want, I could give you 10 or so reasons why Thor was a bad movie. I originally wasn't going to say anything because I hate it when people hate on my Spider-Man films, but frankly I'm getting a little tired of it. :o
 
Hopefully we'll get something at Comic-Con to hold us over :)
 
I know but Marvel will have a lot to say about the story this time, they will not allow what happened to Spidey during the Raimi time to happen again I assure you. for Starters they have already fixed Peter, Gwen, the Uncle ben part happens at home not on the side of the road etc. hopefully they will make the Lizard scary as hell and bring us the true green goblin by the end of the film setting up a sequel.

I doubt that the fans will be appeased by a few minor "corrections" when they see the other supposed changes unfold on the big screen:

  1. Uncle Ben is killed in a home invasion, not a car jacking that Peter is partially responsible for
  2. Peter's biological parents were vigilante detectives, and as Spider-Man he picks up where they left off
  3. He goes to a science high school instead of a normal public school (Flash Thompson: science geek!?)
  4. Fake looking CG replaced with fake looking wirework

Some fans will be happy just knowing that Peter Parker does not dance or have organic web shooters. However, I predict that once the new "bastardizations" to the mythos sink in, the rest of the people who whined about Raimi's movies will say that Sony is still doing this to Spider-Man:

So how many of you are planning on going opening day? These days, the only time I go to the movies is if there's a movie that has my parents favorite actors in it which is like, twice a year. But for this, I will gladly pay for my own ticket. [Provided its not sold out, of course.]
 
^^ I plan on going to the midnight premiere. It's Spider-Man, so of course I'll be going to the earliest psosible showing. I waited in line 3 and a half hours at the midnight premiere for S-M3.

That's a long time. Although I love Spider-Man, I don't think I'm willing to wait that long just to see it on opening day. I rather wait a week, or two at the most. :cwink: lol
 
Hey look, a troll has made his into a thread that has nothing to do with what he's talking about. Typical.
The man just stated his opinion, let it be. If you don't like it, ignore it ffs (and this goes for all of you). He is happy that his favorite hero might finally get the justice he deserves on screen, nothing wrong with that.

Of course he is a "troll" to the eternal Raimi defenders, such a typical ignorance, why am I not surprised? It sucks when people see the major flaws of Raimi's movies and therefore, they must be crucified!:rolleyes:;)

Worship Raimi, defend him to death and please refuse to see the flaws of his movies for all I care, but for God sakes, let other people have their opinions OK?

What part of "This thread has ntohing to do what he's talknig about" is so hard to undersand? So far, I've seen him post in other section of SHH and it's all negative. The fact that you fail to see this proves you're biased and won't admit to it.

I'm excited as hell for the reboot, but I am skeptical, something YOU should be as well.

Yeah, I loved Raimi's movies, so that makes me bad? Sorry, but the only people being crucified ARE the ones who love Raimi's films, but you guys are too stubborn to admit it. Grow the hell up.

I've never been to a midnight showing, so I'm curious about a couple of things. Did you actually have to stand in line that long or were you allowed to bring chairs? Do movie tickets cost more? Don't know if I could stay up so late. I bet it would be a lot of fun though.
