Merged: Spiderman 4

I'd love to see it because I'm a Spidey fan.

I'd hate to see it because I'm a Spidey fan.

Could end up being a real turd, the chemistry of the cast helped the original 3 movies be successful.

Seeing new faces in the old roles may just hurt the franchise.

 

I have one quote for you in regards to this subject:

 

Ugh, the Batman franchise slid downhill faster than a fat girl on a snowboard. I love the resurrection of the legend and how the last film (and hopefully this one) have a very 'Frank Miller' feel to them. The original michael Keaton Batman was decent, it did embrace, to a small degree, the campiness of the TV series, but not too much. Each sequal got more and more campy and less and less Batman. IMHO, of course.

 

It all went down hill when they gave Batman nipples.

Like seriously...who thought that up?

 

But that was truly bad.

 

Joel Schumacher. Long hair boy fancier. He was responsible for 3 & 4, and boy were they bad. Its a shame too, cause Clooney fits Batman and Bruce Wayne, if he had anything to work with, he'd have been perfect.

Side note: On the Batman Animated Series, there was an episode were 3 kids were telling their Batman stories. One of them told a an old style Batman story, and it was done in the old campy style. The next kid tells a Frank Miller-ish story, and it was drawn in that style. Next thing you know, a very feminine boy with long grayish hair, tries to tell his version of Batman while he dances around a lamp post, and the other kids tell him, "Shut up Joel" and they leave. It was a wonderful little "FU" to Schumacher.

 

This Spiderman thread turned to Batman very quickly...poor Peter Parker...

 

didn't mean to hijack the thread, but I was merely pointing towards an example of how using other actors to fill in the voids can ruin the franchise. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for them to replace Kirsten Dunst. That is my #1 peeve with the Spiderman franchise. Please replace her with someone I wouldn't mind seeing Spidey rescue. I wish he would have let her die in the first movie!

 

Because Batman is such a badass.

Didn't see no "spidey" in my tourney.....

 

Kirsten Dunst is supposed to play a super model..and she has yellow teeth...explain that to me.

 

yellow teeth to match her butter face

 

Too bad the fact that there'll actually BE a part 4 isn't a rumor.

Part III was horrendous.

 

Yes, part 3 was indeed horrendous.

 

Horrendous is too powerful of a word. Misguided, yes. It was a little too long, and Eddie Brock/Venom was horribly miscast. The Sandman was perfect, and the relationship between Parker and Osborne was touching, I think they should have kept it as the Goblin and Sandman as the villians and left Venom for part IV. Spidey could have worn the black suit throughout the film, shedding it at the end and leaving us a bit of a cliffhanger alluding to Venom's presence in IV.

 

It seems to be the thing to do... Tobey is a rich mogel now, time to move on. I don't mean that in a bad way but it seems to catapolt some to other things. I think Spidey will be good either way... Hope they add him to the Avengers too!

I LOVED the 3rd Batman, Val Kilmer was awesome! And Jim Carrey as the Riddler??? Spot on! Tommy Lee Jones as TwoFace, come-on! Love everything about it! It wasn't too dark or too light, kinda a Spider-Man color to it. The vehicles were very cool and the costumes were just enough of everything...

 

You had me at Hulk...

But lost me at...

Please tell me you're kidding. Please.

 

I really hope Maguire still comes on board because he had the role down perfectly. And maybe this time they won't try to tackle so much so quickly.

 

I think he was fine. I also think he was far from perfect.

 

To each his own opinion. I don't think there's anyone else out there who can play it better.

 

Yea...what he said.

 

the third movie was meh.

 

Problem was, Sam Raimi just wanted two villains: Sandman and G. Goblin. However, executives wanted a third villain added (Venom). So basically, Sam Raimi HAD to stuff another villain inside of the movie, even though he didn't want to.

 

I guess that is true, because I do not agree with that opinion at all.

 

I'll back you up, I think he played a great Peter Parker, he captured the dorkiness of the character which is what made him so endearing to all the nerdy comic book readers.

 

they should of done what Batman did, introduce Venom towards the end of the movie and have him be the main villain in spidy 4, like batman did with the joker

 

and what it looks like they are going to do with two face

 

Ironically, Raimi didn't even WANT to put Venom in S-M 3, at all!

 

Spider-Man 4

Spider-Man Will Return in 2011

 

LMAO @ Spiderman will return in 2011, But do we want him to? LOL NOooooooo, not if its anything like the last two.

 

Spider-Man 2 was great the 3rd one was not good and a huge letdown.

 

Sorry, but I thought it was pretty boring. Never really thought Doc Oc was interesting and Kristen Dunst is not hot or entertaining.

I'm glad we have Ironman and Batman to make up for the Spidey series now.

 

They better bring back the principal figures (Maguire and Raimi at least).

 

Spiderman (the films) are dead to me...they destroyed the character of Venom for me(one of my all time favorite comic characters). Both the storyline (or lack thereof) and casting of Venom was complete garbage IMO.

 

Chalk that one up to the Execs, my friend. Sam Raimi didn't even want the character in the movie.

 

Yep, I feel the same way. Just a terrible series in general IMO. Venom had HUGE potential to even be his own series and they just ran it into the ground.
