The reason why the UK audience did not like the movie

[phillip phonix]

well this is in the uk, so this might not be everywhere but from what i have been able tofindout ( i work in empire cinema newcastle) is that people diddnt like venom for the simple fact that his actions to kill petre and the lack of screen time that when with it

i hasve been reading people oppinions on hear for a long tyime and its clear that all of you are trying to make excuses for what the movie wasnt as criticaly well recived as the last one all i can say is that you all nit pick to much

dont get me wrong i loved the fiml, everything about it but all i'm saying is that the general view was that venom was the problem, most of the customers i will talk to after the film loved sandman and green goblin jr

so there i have given a voice to the general public and what they in the UK didnt like asbout so now you can all continue with our *****ing

o please dont take offencwe by this if you feel i'm having a go all of you regulars are great and i taske your views with a very high respect (sorry about spelling i'm typing very fast!)

Can't you ppl accept it?
Spidey 3 just wasn't as good as it was supposed to be.

 

[Spider-Fan]

THE MOVIE WAS GREAT AND GOT MORE GOOD THAN BAD REVIEWS!!!

You people stop making excuses for why people hated it. Your reasons are your opinion, and you are entitled to it, but your opinion does not neccessarily represent the populace.

Sheesh!

 

[not_a_victim]

It's made damn close to a billion dollars. I'd say the public liked the movie...

Possibly off topic, but I go there alot...

 

[Bat Attack]

Um, it's the higest grossing in the entire franchise, so obviously someone liked it.

 

[Spidey]

The public loved the movie, it's the fans who didn't like it.

Rediculous topic!

38 days $863 million dollars. That equals many many repeat viewers. The general public loved the movie. It's the whiney fanboys that hated it.

Oh, yeah. And I suppose you call a 61% rate a good one for such a movie as spiderman 3, specially after being preceded by a couple of the best comic based movies ever.

here are MY reasons for not loving this movie, not even liking but not hating it:

In the second SM movie, they were at least able to balance the soap opera parts of the movie with the action, but the soap operish feel to spiderman 3 is almost unbearable.
I'm tired of watching a damn movie about the life of insecure, depressed peter parker who eventually puts on a spidey suit only to remove the mask in the final battle because he's got an emotional connection the the main villain. Why not call the movie: "The adventures of Peter Parker"?
I'm tired of watching a non joke cracking spiderman. where the hell is his sense of humor?

There are other reasons I could give, but right now I must go to school. Be back later to finish my post...

Until then...

I agree with this, however I would add that A FEW whiney fanboys hated it. Judging from the poll, I'd say a lot of fans liked it... including me!

 

[Spider-Kid]

I havent seen the movie....yet.

Im a fan, and i LOVED it.

That's fine, I'd say the fans were divided probably about 50/50, but I have yet to run into one non-comic reader that didn't think Spider-Man 3 was just the best thing since sliced bread and roller hockey. The only negative reception I've seen personally has been from long-time followers of the comic books.

I'm a huge Spidey fan and I thought the film was great, I loved it.

Not according to the poll right on this very forum...

The polls do have an overwhelming approval rate, but SHH accounts for barely .5% of Spider-Man fans.

That's allright, no more needed. We get the 'idea'. You didn't like it.

Yea, and we get the "idea" you didn't like Superman Returns, yet you have taken many shots at that movie. So I guess no more reasons needed from you on why you didn't like SR.

Ok, well give us several links to polls put together by fans,( comic fans, NOT the general public) and back your statement up.

My point isn't that other sites have opposing results to SHH's polls. What I'm saying is the majority of fans don't even vote for these movies, they're just average people that have their opinion and maybe share it with a few friends.

 

[Spidey]

In my opinion, SM3 isn't a love/hate film. It's one of those comic flicks you can't strictly classify as black or white, there's too much gray area. That's what makes it difficult to come to a definitive love/hate verdict. In my case, at least.

So basically; you got nothin'?

That's what i thought.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Is 61% better than 50%? I think so.

As for your opinion of the movie, you may can not like it. I have no problem with it. My problem lies in trying to find why these upset fans say "most didn't like it". There I have a problem. It sounds like whining.

Is that my fault that 100% of Spider-Man fans don't document their opinions?

Agreed. I didn't find it particularly that good but it wasn't that bad either. It's somewhere in the middle.
