Why Spider-Man will go down as the greatest superhero trilogy ever

[SpandexFan]

Just saw the trailer for Spider-Man 3 and like everyone else, think it looks awesome.

But I've realized something about the Spider-Man series.

It is the only superhero 1,2,3 that has kept the same cast and crew throughout the run AND started off with a bang!

Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunnst, James Franco, etc....

Superman I was a terrific movie. Once Richard Donner left, it started to fall apart. Margot Kidder only had a cameo in Superman III.

X-Men lost Bryan Singer and look what happened.

Batman lost Tim Burton and Batman Forever wasn't that bad of a movie but a new Batman (Val Kilmer) didn't give it the same feel.

Fantastic Four, Hulk, Punisher, all average AT BEST in the beginning so they present no challenge if they ever make it to a third film.

With the failure of Elektra, Daredevil probably won't be jumping on any roofs soon.

I was never much of a fan of the Spidey comics, but unless you are a truly blind fanboy, you have to admit, this is how all comic franchises should be treated on the silver screen. Take notes Hollywood, this is how you do it.

 

[Mistopurr83]

That's right.

 

[Shoemeister]

Word.

 

[jaydawg]

Well, that and the fact that so far its the only trilogy where both the preceeding films were good.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

also its probably the closest to being acurate

Hulk was way above average......I must speak the truth.

but so far Spidey looks good...Spidey 1 is my favorite film of all time, SM2 wasnt as good but wasnt bad either, SM3 looks better than both!!!

Hopefully itll be the best trilogy

No, I will tell you why...

My wife just saw the trailer and said..

WOW - I cannot wait to see that.

And she hated the first two. SO either its going to be the best of the three... or suck ass!

Wow, just wow.

The Spider-Man series is definitely best superhero series so far.

Hulk was way above average......I must speak the truth.

Then why is it getting remade so quickly?

 

[Jackpot657]

and lets hope Spiderman 3 takes back the opening day record from Aquaman.........I'm joking. But yeah Spiderman greates Superhero trilogy...could be. Cause Superman hasn't started over yet and don't get me wrong 1 and 3 were great but 2 ahh. X-Men great films but Spiderman is Spiderman. So all we have to wait is for the next couple of batman films, but I'm sure everything will still be all right.

I would hope the best out of the Spidey films. I like 1 and 2 alot. I hope the third doesn't dissappoint, but be the greatest if not just as good.

its getting remade!?...I never heard of this, I thought they were doing a sequel for 08 or 09.

If its getting remade it might be cause marvel is having problems with getting its rights back.Seriously compare Hulk to other crapatized comic book films...its above average...


but I wouldnt mind a restart in a few more years

 

[DOG LIPS]

I agree, it will be the best, but I hope it's not just a trilogy. I want more, dammit! Moorreee!

 

[DeCeAsEd 2 RiSe]

So is this going to be a Trilogy? lol but yea it has been the best Comic- Book Movie ever made. With the X-mens and Batman Begins right behind it (IMO)

I knew Hulk was going to suck about ten minutes into the movie when Ang Lee decided to throw in a soap opera about an overbearing dad and then cut to the present day by using an artsy trick with the plant on the screen.

I'm a big movie fan, and have watched everything from the independent films that made five cents to the crappiest blockbuster fluff Hollywood can throw at us, but I could tell Ang Lee did not have the right mindset to make a classic superhero popcorn extravaganza. You must take the comic book content serious, but you have to realize it's still just a comic book. In the end, it's the classic good guy vs. bad guy story and famous mythology of the superhero's origins that everyone remembers.

I hated Hulk... IMO. But yea Spider-man has stayed true more than any other comic-book film.

Thats what I personally liked about Hulk...It didnt follow any comic book cliche....usually its just a good vs bad guy thing going on...three fights and 3rd the final. The Hulk was a psycological drama and looked at story first action second, which I thought was great....

but I think if they make a remake it could be better.

the only thing that saved Hulk was jennifer connelly

LOL... only Hulk could actually make people WANT a remake. Way to go, Ang. By the way, I loved Backdoor Mountain. That and Naughty Nurses 13. Wait-- you... DID... do both of those films, didn't you???
