I am now skepticism-free.

Superman 3 was a laughable flop. Batman Forever, while more good than bad, (IMO) heralded the doom of the franchise. TMNT 3 was largely forgettable. Blade Trinity was a colossal failure & X3, despite its commercial success, was almost universally panned by critics & fans alike. But now I'm convinced that the curse is broken. Having seen that awesome trailer, how could "Spider-Man 3" be anything but the third installment comic fans have been waiting for?

 

[gdw]

LMAO, sorry, but with everything they are cramming into it (cough* Batman and robin* cough) and the re-writing of things liike who killed Uncle Ben, this film sounds far MORE likely to be doomed by the 3rd film curse than not, but I am still hoping.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I initially thought that. Not anymore.

 

[Arcturus]

im in agreement christopher wallace, i think sm-3 will be spectacular and that prehaps, finally, the 3 curse is broken! i am looking forwards to spider-man 3, 2007 cant arrive fast enough!

 

[The Kid]

I'm not as optimistic as you. I never thought highly of sm1 and besides molina and the confession scene i find Sm2 to be unwatchable dreck. I've got nothing against getting a great sm3 however I'm not setting my expectations very high. X3's trailers were better than sm3's one but that movie was garbage.

 

[co2]

Raimi has not failed. It may deviate from the comics a bit, but it will be a superb movie, just like the last two and fans will completely embrace it because of that....just like the last two.
A lot of fans crack me up. They rail when they sense that a movie doesn't mimic a comic exactly (which is utterly ******ed...I mean don't you want a different experience?..otherwise, go read your comic)..and then when the movie comes out, if it is good, they claim they were confident the whole time.

I just saw the incomplete trailer, and have to say that if there was any doubt I had that this film would be good it was eliminated in the last 10 seconds. I forsee this film breaking the box office records upon release.

You mean the Harry/Normasn scene?

 

[The Amazing Lee]

Even if it isn't the best film in the world I know for sure that Spiderman 3 won't be a crap-fest.

Mainly because Raimi is at the helm.

Normally, by the time a franchise sees it's third films, the company normally resorts to a second rate director who can't do what the first director did justice.

E.g. Batman 3+4
X3
Blade 3.

 

[Arcturus]

Thats the spirit amazing lee.

 

[Chris Wallace]

As for the multiple plots, keep in mind that while B & R had multiple plots, they were all bad individually. X3's multiple plots were good, but more time should've been devoted to each. But there were also multiple plots interwoven quite successfully in the beloved "Batman Begins" & "Spider-Man 2". I think Raimi knows what he's doing. I get no indication here that he's bitten off more than he can chew.

 

[tzarinna]

I'm hopefull and completely stoked at the moment.

Im with Chris and Donald.

You usually are.

 

[Easter Lily]

I have no doubt in mind that it'll be as good as 2...

plenty of people said the same thing about the last stand when its trailers came out.

it's very easy to sell a whole film based on less than five minutes of footage which represents 1/40th of the whole thing.

I mean you wouldn't buy a car based purely on seeing pics of the wheels and the steering wheel alone, would ya?

 

[November Rain]

You mean the Harry/Normasn scene?

probably means peter's scene when he's crying like a girl with aunt may drifting in and out while listening to tunes on her ipod.

Well, unlike you, I enjoyed X3, flaws and all. And Spidey 3 doesn't have the handicaps of time constraints, multiple rewrites, & a new director being thrown in at the last minute in hopes of beating out an over-hyped DC project.

 

[November Rain]

well relatively, you have nothing to worry about.

I, myself think they have since taken the easy root with spidey films and not bringing them to their full potential.

the first film i will let off due it being the first and nostalgic but the second fell well below the mark for me, i'm not holding my breath about this one, especially since i'm not really a fan of all three of the villains being used.

 

[Chris Wallace]

The only villain in 3 I'm not crazy about is Venom, & I'm not expecting him to be a really major player.

 

[November Rain]

well they are all very capable at this stage of over or underplaying their roles.

 

[Chris Wallace]

That's with any movie.

 

[November Rain]

which is why i'm still skeptical...

 

[Kurt Wagner]

the only thins spectacular about Spider-MAn 3 will be the special FX and action scenes. The story is going to be bullsh1t like it was in part 2. Rami really screwed up this time... first it was the organics, then Doc Ock's neuro inhibitor chip and making him noble at the end of the movie, and now the worst thing of all... Sandman as Uncle Ben's killer! This is blasphemy and he called himself a Spider-Man fan. Instead he's a hollywood sellout.
