I disagree with you 100%, lol.
Why would people wanna whine about the coincidences in movies? Why don't you just say "Well, it's lazy to have Kal-El land right in Smallville, Kansas where the Kents live."
I don't watch Smallville.
It's a movie, there will be certain coincidences that will happen during it, just like the church scene, which I thought was one of the more powerful scenes in all of the Spider-Man movies. And I loved the meteorite landing...it was simple, as a space shuttle crashing into New York would be too much.
it was crap. utter crap. you can only suspend so much disbelief for the sake of enjoying a story before it starts to feel farfetched and more fantasty than it does sci-fi. This isn't Lord of the Rings where things "just" happen for no reason. We like things to be explained and feel somewhat believable. If that's not true, than they never would have bothered explaining how the spiders were genetically modified super spiders, or how Ock's tentacles connect with a neural interface to his cerebellum.
Imagine if instead of a genetically modified super spider that bit spider-man, he merely swallowed one while riding a bike with mouth open and magically got spider powers.
And, regarding Venom swinging into the same alley as Sandman was, he told Marko he was looking for him...did you not hear him say that?
I thought he said "I know all about you." but even if he was looking for him, how did he know where to find him? Do you know what the odds are of that? 1 in millions. There are millions of people in New York, and it's not like Sandman was a hundred feet tall at the time, attracting the attention of New yorkers and reporters.
Spider-Man 3, to me, was one of the most greatest superhero movies ever made...yes, S-M 1 and 2 are great, as to Batman Begins, but S-M 3 is in that same league...it might have had some bad moments (The Jazz Club scene), but overall, it dealt more into comics-lore, just as X3 did, and that's what made X3 actually good too, just because it had more mutants: Juggernaut, Multiple Man, Colossus, Shadowcat, Beast, Phoenix, Callisto, etc.
I'm glad for your sake you liked it, but word of mouth from non comic fans, word of mouth from comic fans, and critics has been pretty consistent that this movie was not satisfactory for the most part for most audiences. It did not live up to it's goal. When I walked out of the theatre I heard so many girls, laughing at Peter for crying so many times during the movie. I'm not exagerating. I dont' know why I only heard girls saying it, but that's what happened.
The movie had too much flare, too much action, and it poured the drama and effects on way too thick. If you over saturate your steak with salt and spices it's not going to taste good.
The first Spider-Man movie was the best to me, just because I always love the origin stories more (Batman Begins, Superman, Fantastic Four, X-Men), but Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 had different aspects to each movie...S-M 2 had more drama and emotion, a good amount of action, but not enough to me,
A lot of people felt hungry for action instead of stuffed full after seeing part 2. That's what makes it good. Leaving you hungry for more, or hungry for another sequel.
and S-M 3 had a lot of the same, but also more action.
it lacked character growth and character development. Realism and believability and a good story. If that wasn't true, it wouldnt' be getting such mixed responses. Aside from die hard comic fans who want the movies to be word for word exactly like the comic book, the first two movies didnt' get mixed responses like this from the general public. When I walked out of the theatre seeing part 1 and part 2 all I heard was "awesome! That was amazing"
After part 3 i didn't hear one person saying that. All I heard was complaints.
