Did Spider-Man III break the 3rd movie curse!?

[Infinity9999x]

I don't care how they were received critically, they were snoozefest which had nothing to do with the comics. THat's probably because of a hack director who had never actually read an x-men comic.

Ratner's movie was straight out of a comic book in a sense. Lots of actions, funny moments, colorful characters (instead of all that gay leather jesus freaking christ). He really did salvage what he could to put something together that actually resembled the x-men

Straight out of the comics? You mean like a Pheonix saga where Pheonix is really just a very powerfull mutant, and cyclops gets killed extremely early in the story, as well as Professor X being killed?

Or a Brittish accented Juggernaut with no mystical origin and no connection to Charles Xvaier? Or a Rouge (who's accent mysterious vanished after the first movie) with no connection to Mystique, no Ms. Marvel powers, and not even half the personality of her comic counterpart?

Or a Wolverine who's 6 foot plus, apparently channeling Cyclop's dead spiri (because last time I checked Wolverine wasn't one to make big motivational speeches to the x-men) and has no fighting skill above that of a brawler with claws, unlike his comic counterpart who's an expert in the martial arts?

And I could keep going. So yeah, aside from being completley different, it was pretty much just like the comics.


*As to the 3rd movie curse, I would say Spidey broke it because it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't amazing either.

 

[Spidro Man]

Unfortunately no...it did not break the curse. it was too cheesy and they used too many cliches...it's bush

 

[WorthyStevens]

I might get flack for this, but I think SM-3 is the best of the three. It was overstuffed I admit, but it wasn't repetitive (for the most part) of the first one like 2 was.

 

[kooguy911]

if anyone can break the trilogy curse, it WILL be chris nolan.

 

[Spidey220987]

Yes,I think so. Actually,I know so

 

[mclay18]

No. Worst piece of crap.

Wow, you're real upfront about this.

 

[Spidey220987]

Not hard,when you consider the crap that was Batman Begins lol I'm sorry if I'm against the majority,but Batman Begins means nothing to me,it bored me Had to watch it on DVD 3 damn times before I appreciated it. On original viewing in the cinema,I gave it 4/10. After 3 views on DVD,my final rating is 7/10. Roll on Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer, and then Iron Man t:

Not a fan of good story?

 

[Mr. Socko]

Have ANY of you people ever heard of Indiana Jones? The Prequel Star Wars films? Lord of The Rings?

There's no curse, but the 3rd is usually mediocre and I think it's the same here.

 

[Cinemaman]

No

Now there are last two franchises, which still have chance to do it, they are Nolan's Batman and Iron Man

 

[Spidey220987]

Not a fan of good story?

Haha,we have a funny one lol. The story was good,I'm not denying that; it was just boring & overcrowded too. Never had much substance to me,personal opinion ofcourse

Fool, we are talking about curse of superhero trilogies. There is no superhero trilogy, which ended up right

 

[amazingdm]

Did you watch the movie? Most of the crap done in this movie had very little to do with the actual comics.

you coulda fooled me!

it seemed to me like every single part of that movie was ripped from some x-men comic. Quite a good tone

You misunderstand
after the mess that was left over by brian singer, Ratner did an AMAZING job bringing the FEELING of the comic books to the movie. He used what he could to create an essence of an X-Men comic book film. It had the feeling from the comics even if not the exact content.

No one complains that brian singer completely ruined the content and feeling of x-men yet Ratner gets the blame for salvaging it? sheesh

You mean Juggernaut being a mutant, not being related to Xavier in any way, the way Phoenix was introduced, Xavier's/Cyclops death, Wolverine killing Jean Grey, The Xmen using the cure on all the bad guys, and Phoenix just standing around and doing nothing for nearly 2 hours. That was all ripped from the comics?

Yeah I really don't care about the details. For christ's sakes it was an hour and a half film. It was just a movie. After the train wrecks of accuracy that were the first two, I didn't care at all what the backgrounds for the characters were. I was just happy they brought the feeling.

"Wolverine killing Jean Grey" Actually ya.. that did happen in the comics
good stuff

No one complains because Singer brought compelling and interesting story that wasn't rushed and had great development.

Ratner brought high budget speciel effects and killed all the story plus put far to much in to the story and rushed everything.

 

[amazingdm]

compelling and interesting..pfft yah right
he magneto's got a machine that turns humans into mutants! lets go stop it with a team of 3 x-men and a big franchise character that was cast all wrong.

 

[The Chris]

To me Spidey has overcome the curse that has plague Superman, Batman, Blade, and the X-Men. For me this whole trilogy has been one great 6 hour movie.

 

[BrollySupersj]

I think it did.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I am absolutely shocked man... its wasn't X3... but man... maybe even more disappointing that TLS... complete shock...

 

[AussieSpideyFan]

I think it did, certainly a better representation of the previous movies (unlike your other "3" movies like Superman 3, Batman Forever, Jaws 3-D etc)

 

[Johnichi Chiba]

It took awhile for it to hit me, but this movie was astoundingly disappointing.

 

[TheCaretaker]

YES IT DID, Best of the 3 i dont care what anybody says, Venom owned too.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Unfortuneatly, no.
