I thought venom was going to be portrayed by Topher Grace (well I know that he is...), I doubt they'd put another guy in the venom suit.
Got a tip for us?

Spiderman 3...YAWN
Just got back from the most boring 2.5 hours of my life. This movie was a total letdown. How do you go from having two of the best superhero movies ever made to this crap?? It had to be the most boring, sappy film I have seen in a long time.
I think in parts, it was good. It had the nice little one-liners like the other two, the casting was pretty good, and the special effects were great. But come on, how much of a love story do we need?? It was two hours of people crying and talking about choices and then 30 minutes of random fights thrown in there.
What did everyone else think?? Am I the only one who thought it was this bad??

It's not on my top list of movies to see, but I wouldn't mind seeing it if somebody asked.
Guys, our little spidy's in love. Give him a break.

just saw spidy 3
it was amazing, the story line was superb and the characters were well built and moral was superb. along with that the cg was incredible. in some spots the green screening was slightly obvious, but virtually unnoticeable to people who arnt looking to cretike it and figure out how Sony worked there movie magic.
also i have a question about it, do you know if they used the new 3D capability motion has or if the opening title / credit sequence was created in an other program, like maybe one that Sony made?
that may not be the best movie i ever saw but it was worth it.
well its real late here so im off to bed
rich

it's getting a pretty mixed bag of reviews but we're off to see it tomorrow at the Sydney iMAX screen so looking forward to it. Glad you enjoyed it
I think the main problem is that they tried to cram as much as they could into the 2.5 hours. If they spaced it out a little more it'd be better, but then it'd be long as.
Well with Spiderman 3, you get an hour of dialog and then 5 minutes of action, then another hour of dialog and another 5 minutes of action. To wrap it all up, another 15 minutes of dialog. All of this adds up to the most boring superhero/comic adaptation movie since Constantine.
Ouch....not exactly a "glowing" review. Hmmmm...perhaps I will wait a little while before I go see this one...
Edit: I just looked at RottenTomatoes (62%, BTW)......is it true that Kirsten Dunst *sings* in this movie?!
^^^ I disagree.
While there is a lot of dialouge- I think there is a ton more action then the previous two movies.
But the story of spiderman is not meant to be all about the action, it's meant to be about HIM, and I think they do tell the story quite well. (Even if I didn't like the Jazz Scene)

The movie seemed to have a lot of filler and moved really slowly... The action and music was pretty good, but a lot of times I was just thinking "hurry the hell up and get to the ending, dammit." I give it a 6/10
I think some people went in with expectations too high and others went in forgetting it was a comic book movie.
The origins of all the villains perfectly replicated their comic book origins; Sandman and Venom, especially, were almost page for page in their origin scenes (like the church or testing facility).
Emo-Peter was just plain hilarious, especially that montage. The entire audience was cracking up.
Frankly, I thought it was awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Oh, and the IMDB score is higher than RottenTomatoes. 7.3/10 right now.
Yes, but it's *supposed* to suck. She does so bad that she gets unanimously shot down by critics and fired from the show after the first performance.
Yet somehow people still complain about her sucking, even though she was supposed to. Like I said; expectations too high.

I agree. I just saw it, and I think it was good, probably the best of the 3. It lost a little the last half hour, but up until then it was pretty spectacular.
Saw it last night on the biggest IMAX screen I've ever seen and it was pretty amazing. I'd say it's my second favourite of the three (1, 3, 2 being the order). Maybe one too many villains, Venom or Sandman could have been omitted as they both seemed to be slightly meagre plots and one solid character and plot would have been better than two average ones, but overall that's not a massive complaint.
I liked the fact that Harry redeemed himself, the effects were amazing (the crane and sandman in general, plus the symbiotic thingummybob effects were cool).
Definitely go see it if you liked the first two.
Edit: Looks like it's doing pretty well in ticket sales too: Spiderman 3 breaks opening weekend record.

Even though I have not seen the movie myself, reading some of the reviews makes me cringe.
And I say, more than anything, was the transformation Spider-Man made when he came into contact with that alien-bred puddle of black goo. It just made Peter Parker look like the awkward and geeky little brother of 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto in his heavy-eyeliner and stupid haircut phase.
The resemblance is hilariously uncanny.

One of the worst films I watched. I really loved the 1st and the 2nd was good too, but this was only made to milk the crowd.
4 out of 10.

Just got home from seeing it as well, and i liked it. I dont have much to say, just that i liked it. It got me thinking about a few things, tobey mcguire doesnt care what people think about the movie, hes laughing all of us to the bank! Sure people thought it was the most boring movie ever, but hey, you just gave tobey another ten bucks and he aint listenin'.
go to cnn.com, spidey 3 set a new best opening day revenue with fifty some odd million dollars.

Agreed, the dialogue was absolutely horrible, the plot was incredibly lame, and the plot devices just APPEARED out of nowhere over and over and over again (Marko is seen by police walking on the street and there just HAPPENS to be a truck FULL of sand parked on the side of the street...how convenient ((I understand this is Hollywood, but this happened over and over again in this movie)), a meteorite containing the black ooze just kind of "poofs" down with no explosion, just kind of a puff of dust feet from Parker and MJ and nobody notices...odd)
It was just special effects, and honestly, even with them...I wasn't all that entertained, I was bored out of my mind and rolling my eyes every 2 minutes at the overly cheesy and corny dialogue. Kirsten Dunst sings two songs that are completely unnecessary, and that whole scene in the jazz bar with Peter doing some Fosse or something was absolutely the low point of the film. And how many endings does a film need? Are we trying to compete with Return of the King on how many fade-to-blacks we put at the end of a movie???
Lame, lame, lame...I really hope Pirates doesn't fall into the same traps. Sure, they're laughing all the way to the bank, but that's not the point. The point is that this COULD have been a solid conclusion to an already promising trilogy...and this film completely tainted it. It's the Godfather III of the trilogy, but far, far worse.
I went at it, not a fan of Hollywood cinema (though I did semi-enjoy the first 2) and after seeing no trailer and having no expectations... and I rather liked it. So far its the only action film where I actually followed the action scenes! Normally I get dizzy or whatever when they flick the camera around and do pointlessly shaky things.
It was full of some terrible scenes. What is with Hollywood bolting on those moral endings to films that generally just depict good and evil as black and white? The super sappy little narrative at the end really let it down. What was their aim with that?
Plus the whole dancing scene in the street had me cringing. It's like they filmed the actor who plays Spiderman (whatever his name is) just messing about after serious filming.
Take away the cheese and I'd probably buy it on DVD. But I'll skip. I don't regret watching it though. Except the date itself - bank holiday. The cinema was packed.

Well I only came to the party to see venom and I got what I came for. I'm not a fan of the first two so this one seems better to me.

I give it 7/10. Good and fun, but not awesome and sensational. I almost wish Spidey woulda got with the chief of police's daughter. cute.
