The Amazing Spider-Man Drag me to hell's effect on Spidey 4?

Ok. So I finally saw Drag Me To Hell and it was terrible. It was a horrible, horrible, horrible movie. It freaks me out that Raimi is saying he is taking ANYTHING from Drag Me To Hell into the next Spidey movie.

:huh:


It was terrible because....?

The acting was terrible (Justin Long was ok), the horror wasn't there, the dialogue was terrible, it was cheesy, the ending was insanely predictable, and the special effects were substandard.

Anyone who has seen it can tell you about the scene with blood shooting out of the main characters nose and mouth. It was such a bad scene. She is shooting blood from her nose and mouth, and I mean shooting it, think Adams Family or the Black Knight from Monty Python. When her boss gets covered in her blood he very calmly asks "is it in my mouth?" Not "ARE YOU OK!" Considering she was loosing enough blood to die. Not even "AHHHHH!!!! CALL 911!!!" Just "is it in my mouth? I think it's in my mouth." :whatever:

Yeah I agree.
Drag Me To Hell was a terrible movie.
Though not as disaster as Dragon Ball Eovlution.
I hope Raimi takes nothing from Take Me To Hell.
 
It was AWESOME. i think he's just trying to crap on raimi...again

:whatever: I liked Spider-Man 1, 2 and 3. I've said that a hundred times. I just think Spidey can be done better. He hasn't even come close to nailing the character of Peter or Spider-Man. And he made ALOT of mistakes in SM3. Everytime I run into you, you try to pick a fight and it's starting to piss me off.

Careful. Some people around here take that kind of stuff personal.
 
Well, for a $40M budgeted studio picture, Raimi did make a beautifully-shot and mounted film (in some ways it looked better than Spider-Man 3). I pray that Raimi takes some of the practicality he gained back for Drag Me to Hell and applies it in terms of lowering the budget.

And DACMAN, just because Peter Deming worked on Drag Me to Hell doesn't mean he'll ruin Spider-Man 4. If anything, he and Raimi will aim for a similar glossy look Bill Pope did so well for SM-2 and SM-3.

simply because everytime I see you POST it's about how raimi has done something wrong. about what needs to be fixed...even if it's something you said not too long ago. and THAT is starting to piss ME off. and technically, ARAD & SONY mad alotta mistakes in SM3. raimi just went with them.
 
Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean you should pick a fight with them every time you see them on the HYPE. That's the kind of crap that gets people banned.

And Raimi directed AND wrote Spider-Man 3. It's not like he was an innocent party in the whole thing. If he didn't think he could do what they wanted well, he should have stepped aside.

Not all those threads beat up on Raimi. And there is nothing in the forum rules that state you must love all things Sam Raimi to post here. Most of those threads simply ask a question. I would like to see some things improved upon in SM4 and as of right now that's all we have to talk about. We don't know who the villain is, we don't know the story, we don't know a thing. So all we can do is talk about villains we'd like to see and improvements we'd like to see. With that said, not everyone was happy with SM3, in fact not everyone was 100% happy with SM1 and 2. If the mods had a problem with any of those threads, which again most where simply asking a question, they'd have shut them down.

If this is how you act when you run into people that disagree with you. You are going to have one heck of a hard life. In none of those threads do I pick a fight. We talk about the topic. Stop. STOP! trying to pick a fight.

:D I just saw that you're 18. That seriously changes everything. You're just a kid. You are way to young to be full of this much anger. They're just movies, Raimi is just some guy, it's ok if people don't like his work. You are going to give yourself a heart attack.

To be honest, I was actually surprised that he's 18 and not something like....13 or 14.
 
Well, he could be lying about his age. :D
 
Knock if off, guys. Leave him alone.
 
^^ Agreed.

You guyds may pick on us for defending Raimi, but I think it's just as fair to pick on you guys for hating him if you think it's okay to pick on us for defending him. Can't we just get along?

(Something tells me someone will respond back to me with a certain comment that's been said over and over again.)

I have been a very vocal Raimi supporter on these threads, IMO Drag Me To Hell helped recharge his batteries.

The production of SM3 made it very clear that, unlike SM2, the movie lacked direction and purpose. It felt very by the numbers, ultimately, this is the director's responsibility. Many of the production photos showed a very burnt out Raimi on helm.

I hope that SM4 can be the same caliber as SM2 but with that being said, The Dark Knight has raised the bar, so the same movie won't cut it this time around.

I've seen many posts on the 'dark' aspects that made TDK a success. IMO, it was just great script writing and plot flow that helped TDK put itself in a new standard for Superhero movies. If SM4 has a strong script, then Raimi should be more than capable of making it a reality.

Either way, SM4 seems to be his last swing and I hope he ends it on a high note as I am a fan of Raimi's work.

We've never "picked" on you guys for defending him. I like him. I've said that a hundred times. I just think he made a bunch of mistakes and I'm not afraid to point them out.

Umm....cowabunga?

In all fairness he's the one that came in here beating his chest and picking a fight.

On a side note, your avatar is fricken awesome.
