Nice sacrcasm. While I agree certain stories should and could be burned (The Clone Saga, Sins Past, Final Chapter, The entire "MJ's dead" Mackie debacle, Sins Past, The Other, Civil War)....but whatever.
I would not say that the movies are perfect, no one would but I think they have been pretty good at capturing the spirit of the comics. My only major complaint is how they watered down MJ's character, she is interesting in the movies but I think she should have been more wild and exuberant, making her pairing with Peter all the more odd (as he always depressed and complaining all the time) and more fun.
Other than that though, most ofo the changes I think worked or don't really bother me (I don't like the GG suit, but I'll live with it). And while organics weren't neccesarily necceseary, they worked. Not just as a sight gag but they kept the story's flow and Peter's sense of discovery. And with modern audiences everything has to be explained. It may be a little harder how to explain a broke ass teenager who hasn't finished high school makes these web-shooters and how he can afford to keep making this furistic stuff. In the comics there is a further detached sense of reality. It is the same reason the X-Men can wear bright shiny costummes and fight with the Shi'Ar Empire on the moon (however Ratner's changes did **** on the X-Men especially Cyclops, Rogue, DArk PHeonex, Magneto, Xavier, Wolverine and Juggernaut....Beast was okay in it though, this is what we DON'T want the Spidey movies to become).
As for me what has me most worried for SM3 not being a good movie if it gets too sappy and I think celeberation day plays into that fear. I think the symbiote will be handeled well, Venom and Sandman will be fine, Harry will be handelled well , hopefullly he will have more screentime thoguh and won't die like a *****. I personally think from the previews Dunst seems more like MJ than she has in the last two movies, mostly because she is getting to play later MJ (the one who knows who Pete is) which is a more serious and sadder character.
But SM is not Catwoman don't make the comparison. Some changes work, some don't but overall these movies do NOT deserve to be tarnished in the ranks of Schumaucher or Pitof just because we're still a little bitter that the Death of Gwen Stacy was never filmed though.
I'm seriously thinking of just not clicking on threads made to question my favorite movie.
That's just the truth. Unless you're a hater who just wants it to be faithful to the comics. I agree that it shouldn't be compared to catwoman or batman and robin. Those were nothing like the comics at all, but that's ok, I mean.. it's ok but not ok to be faithful to the character but the story's fine to change... I think. And oh no, I'm not bitter at all about Gwen stacy being in this. I'm glad she's in this,
