The Spider-Man 3 First Look Thread [Merged]

well you mentione 1.6 dollars as if it was a means of evalutating that people were satifactory with with the portrayal of those characters and hence that is reflected with the amount of money grossed, right? Or why would you even bring up sales in the first place..

well obviously they will be in theatres, one can't comment fully on something until it's been properly viewed first hand.

the real question is will they be there for the multiple repeat viewings?

Anyone who posts on these boards will most likely see it more than once. My money says even you will.

No, I mentioned the the cume, just to let you know that for TWO MOVIES we've had angry faced fanboys, who didn't like this or that about the portrayal of said characters, and they still showed up by the masses...complete with repeat viewings.

i've never been to a cinema to watch a film more than one, i'm incredibly perceptive on only a single viewing...


besides, if i ended up sleeping through it due to being bored, i can merely get an illegal copy to watch and then burn it shortly thereafter to get myself up to speed.

I still don't get the Raimi bashing that goes on around these parts.

Who else would be better, really? (Really, really?!)

Remember that the other two frontrunners for the first film were Chris Columbus and David Fincher.

If you subscribe to the theory that these films make money regardless, then we would likely still have those guys (depending on their determination to stay with the franchise).

But what about Bryan Singer? Would ANYBODY want him instead of Raimi?

Or Christopher Nolan?

Michael Bay?

I know this isn't the thread for this discussion, but, hey, there you go.

 

[j1h6]

any takers on placing it on ifilm?

Sorry double post

still, this is like venom....

venom speculation has been going on since before details of the first film were unveiled....the hype behind him is clearly unpresidented...

you only have to notice there have been threads about him continually getting posts since we both first came to this place as lurkers in spidermanhype...

I guess you see it as more return vieiwings, i see it as reasoning for a backlash, ,especially if his appearance is still a close guarded secret in a lot of circles.

using old cases to govern possible future events may not always be a good way to estimate crowd behaviour to a piece of media.

Never quite understood that mentality myself but more power to ya.

Look, I understand that Venom is a popular Spidey villain, but the world doesn't wake up every morning praying to him, like Venom fanboys do. In the their minds, it's just a movie, GASP! It makes no difference, if the majority (fanboys/casual movie goers alike) are entertained and like what they see, like the previous films...you've got yourself a lot of repeat-viewings.

And what close guarded secret are talking about, people have Venom in the avatars from the leaked trailer/TV spot? They've pretty much seen him already. They've already passed judgement on both Topher Grace and Venom, hell, they've even read the entire script summary. And most people (die-hard Venom fans alike--give or take a few) still can't wait to see the film.

well, i don't really want to pay another £6 to realise what stan lee's cameo is in this film if i've missed it, so i don't see anything wrong with it, especially if i end up getting the dvd when it's officially released.

i don't understand going to watch the same film again (purely for the enjoyment factor) in the cinema when in less than six months you can get the dvd.

You don't, but the masses love it, when it's something that they like.

the close guarded secret of venom being in the film is in reference to the mainstream audience who haven't had access to illegal copies of either the comic-con footage or leaked unfinished trailers..

I don't know much about people who go to movies but i always thought that films made their money via repeat viewings and in this genre, it's mostly by fans who go to watch a film up to ten times, while the average number of times will probably be about 3 from a fan. It would make sense to me to please the fans while keeping mainstream audiences entertained and that was the key to getting big box office sucess (as well of course as good marketing to making the film child/family friendly viewing).

if that's not actually how it works, then i apologise.

even still, dvd sales provide large amounts of funds and they are solely going to be bought by fans, so ****ing up venom isn't in the interest of anyone, hence keeping him underwraps until money has passed over may be a good tactic to cover's one's back to at least allow for a good opening weekend return as well as in the first couple of weeks at the box office

unless a crowd was truelly horrible, or i was being 'social' and watching it again with a bunch of friends, i wouldn't bother...

I always find a second cinema experience always taints the original one, not to mention the company can also have an impact on one's ability to enjoy a film.

I guess it;s not really something that is done in the UK...

You're so convinced it's going to be the same movie, and have a sucky Venom ... but your going to buy the DVD (or illegally download it)? Why waste your time?

Decided to screencap the Symbiote effect so others could see the difference:

I love the way that the Symbiote's bonding now looks organic rather than fluid and has a glossy movement like every part of the goo is seeping into Peter's uniform.

I think that this effect looks alot like the effects from the movie Spawn. Does anyone else agree or is it just me?

Of coarse it does, McFarlane ripped Spawn's "alive" costume off from Venom to begin with.

Actually, this movie is gonna make tons at the box office, through merchadising and DVD sales, and not just by fans, but by average movie goers who have SM1/SM2 DVDs on their shelves--who liked one or both films. When a movie makes as much as SM1/SM2, it goes far beyond just fans.

I can't stress this enough, if people want to see Venom, they need to only go online. People who don't, don't really care. Venom from the legal TV spot is all over the net, freeze framed and all.

yeah she shouldn't have a yanky accent, she's a brit dammit!!!!!

Why would you think she's British? She has family that lived in Britain. But Gwen is American. And BTW- Doc Ock is not German.

People have a belief that Gwen should have an accent and that Ock is german?

Yeesh.

Wasn't Ock Russian in the cartoon? Perhaps that's what's confussing people.
