I understand that, but you need to accept it was not a bad movie. I respect your opinion, and that it wasnt the movie/spider-man experience you were looking for, none the less structurally it was not bad. The characters were all fleshed out and relatable, the action was good but not overwhelming, and it tied up all the loose ends from the first film (minus the Harry Goblin arc). I personally don't like the Dark Knight that much, however, I still acknowledge it's a very well made movie that isn't for my taste.
If you didn't like the Raimi films then I'm sorry, and I hope you'll like the new ones better!
It's all opinion and I respect yours. I love the Raimi Trilogy as a whole... well, at least the first two, and thing they are great movies! And I am really looking forward to the reboot!

ahhhh run!
I like to hear individual opinion as much as anyone else, sometimes it can really enrich the movie-going experience when people like or dislike certain parts and times of the films, as in people have the same feelings as people in different scenes and people share that experience in the movie theatre, it's great.
But I suppose at times I like to understand collective opinions, because in fact, there are kind of millions of different opinions of the Raimi films as well as the new ASM film.
If I could sum them up it seems the general public enjoyed the first movie, but had problems with it (aspects of the comics changed), the second one they thought was well done & is still ranked high for superhero movies but were disapointed by SM3, no one opinion in the world could change that, it is public domain.
Me personally, enjoyed all three films and can enjoy as individual films rather than as a trilogy. Especially the third film which I think has to be enjoyed as an almost entirely exclusive film rather than being part of anything else.
What looks like for this new one, is they are building in a theme and a thread that will run throughout the entire series so that there will be real continity in the films, other than the Raimi 'Peter is in this place in his life now, Mary Jane is doing this now' kinda thing they always did. It seems like they will have a reucurring storyline in the films so will maybe seem like the Nolan Batman series which had stronger continuity than Raimi Spider-Man series did.
As to what will be 'better', better is a subjective word and it is too general. If someone said 'Which film had dialouge that better resembled the comic books' that could be a question answered or the same as 'Which film captured the action scenes of the comics more accurately?' Could be answered in some cases.
I do tire a little of seeing such flat general comics like 'Raimi series sucks ass, cuz i say so' or 'ASM looks better cuz they get things right this time.' I'm like what do they get right this time?
Which is why I often trust collective opinions like ratings and like 20 comments over 3 comments and so on.

It will require some build up, I'm not patient enough for it
You make sense...You can stay on my lawn.

Fulla' Antz?

I think Spider-Man 2 is the best superhero movie (yes, I think it is better than the Avengers). I think TASM will be better than Spider-Man and Spider-Man 3, but it may not top Spider-Man 2. We'll see.I hope it'll be just as good as Spider-man, though I wish it could be even better.
It's weird, most people here aren't too fond of Spider-Man 2 as much as some of you guys on this board.![]()
I rank superhero films in this order:
1) The Dark Knight
2) The Avengers
3) Batman Begins
4) Iron Man
5) X-Men: First Class
6) X-Men 2
7) Spider-Man 2
8) Spider-Man
9) Thor
10) Batman '89 (haven't watched that one in ages though)

I still hear people saying they don't like the way the movie was done and such. I still stand by my belief that it is the best superhero film yet. All opinions though so its coolReally? I've always noticed that everyone agreed that it was the best Spider-Man movie.
I mean I don't feel that way, but I know a lot of others here do.
