I now want the Maguire suit for Edge of Time
 
I just lolled, and I forgot why, not sure if it was with you
 
Dunno what else filled my mind at that moment
 
I may watch the movies again starting now
The first movie is the only one of the three with no train
 
I may do a marathon as well!
These aren't your favorite superhero live action trilogy, they're your favorite movie trilogy as a whole, no one can give them this much love if there are other movies to be more fond of
 
It's sad some people here disagree with you, at least on the whole trilogy being awesome

Why is it sad? Even as a die hard Spidey fan I know it's not the best trilogy there is. Not even close.

At least in being fun
Best trilogy would happen to go to (iyo) Star Wars original trilogy? Something else?

You got them all right except for Dushku; she helped Tobey put together his action sequence for his audition and I believe she played the damsel in distress.

This one was the nerdiest trivia I ever laid eyes on

Indeed she did.[/QUOTE]

Thought so. She had action experience & Tobey didn't, so she helped him out because the studio just couldn't buy him as a heroic lead until they saw him in action. I'm pretty sure this piece inspired the rain thug fight in the movie-which I also think was to show the audience that Tobey could do some action himself & didn't have to completely rely on CGI & stuntmen.
 
I realized a bunch of things after re-watching Spider-Man 3.

The relationships and writing when related to that were awesome; it was just the villains that sucked. This horribly nerdy/lame/timid version of Peter Parker that was in that series acted exactly the way that version of the character would have acted when consumed by the symbiote. The problem? That character is so much of a dork that it meant not doing anything useful/being intimidating at all in the black suit.

Ultimately the movie could have done completely without Sandman and the sub-plot of Harry blackmailing MJ. It would have been much more satisfying and natural if she had really ended up with Harry because of how much of an A-hole Peter became. This way Eddie Brock would kidnap MJ thinking that she was still Pete's and the final battle would be Harry coming to her rescue even with their begrudging friendship/forgiveness/rivalry or whatever.

Also, this version of Peter should never end up with MJ. They do't really work as a couple outside of adhering to the comics canon. This series' Parker should have ended up with the bean-pole daughter of his landlord. They would have been happy together.

Anyway, those are my observations for the moment. :P Any thoughts?
