I'm more bummed that we won't get a Stone's Stacy PF

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Regardless of the movie this would sell based on it being a perfect live-action costume

 

[savageHULK]

Besides the costume, Gwen Stacey hotness, the only other thing I thought looked cool was Rhino's suit!

Yup, I personally also really liked their take on Goblin. I know people want the rubber suit, but cmon, how usable is that compared to more tech based.

 

[Chapter 2099]

I liked the entire darn thing. Big mistake what Sony is doing to this franchise. I can't quite understand it. So much going for it. You've got Garfield, who, in my opinion, is as good of a Peter Parker as I could have imagined. And now, you're ending his run (rumor has it)? No. No. No. No....

[Chapter 2099]

I'm one of the few that want Sony to keep Spidey, but if I have to watch more of this BS unravel, then I'm going to jump on the Marvel train.

Not to sound like a jerk, but what is so hard about sticking with the intended theme, plot, direction, etc.? So what if people didn't like the last one? Don't bail. Don't get rid of everything great you had up to this point because of some bad reviews. Write a better one and movie on. At this point, to keep canning the franchise and starting over is probably the WORST thing you could do.

Rarely do I see people complain about Garfield (except for here. ) And honestly, if they read the comics (616 or Ultimate), they'd find that the guy was pretty straight on with the comic Peter Parker interpretation. And anyone who tells you Raimi's direction was more 'accurate' to the character is just plain wrong. Garfield is the best thing to happen to Sony's Spider-Man, period.

I'm fired up, people!!!

Give me my darn ASM2 collectible, Sideshow!

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

It's probably been canned. Sony's lost in a fog on the Spider-Man franchise

I thought he did fine, but the script and story just plain sucked

Spidey 2 was too much new character and not as exciting somehow.mm

 

[Chapter 2099]

We need to campaign and make sure Sony pulls it together. So much potential. SMH.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

I plan to write a kick *** script and send it to them. ****, I'll just take credit, they can keep the money.

It definitely can't hurt. Again, not to sound like a jerk here, but how hard can it be? You've got literally 50 years of material to choose from. Can't think of anything original. *BAM* Here's 1000+ issues to read through. Take your pick. Even if there's a conflict somehow because they can't copy storyline exactly, tweak it and move on.

 

[Chapter 2099]

They need to hire us.

We'd gladly welcome the challenge.

Sorry m8, but no way in hell would I be part of that ... As far as I am concerned the writers at Sony had two kicks at the can and couldn't produce anything better than bad fan fiction. Sony hasn't made a good Spidey film in over 11 years. Time to hand over the property to Marvel and Disney. Even at their worst they are making better movies that either ASM films.

Hahaha amen to that.

 

[Asdf]

We work for free too. Can't beat that

This actually nails it, though.

ASM2 introduced both Harry and Electro and all of a sudden they're a big deal.

However in the comics, Gwen, Harry, Norman, Electro, and all of the other major characters had been around for YEARS. So when Norman orchestrates Gwen's death it's a HUGE deal not just because it's the main character's lady, but because the hero and villain had been going at it for years and this raised the stakes of their ongoing feud to the highest possible level. It was unquestionable that his greatest enemy did him the most damage. Two characters who'd been around since the early days of the comic were at that point gone. When Harry snapped from his drug usage it was another HUGE deal because we actively saw his relationship with Peter over years, and how drugs and addiction deteriorated him. By the time we get to his Green Goblin days it much more emotional, he's a young husband and parent, responsible for a company, and battling his inner demons.

I would say movies can't have the same long term build up as comics, but when you look at Harry Potter and Marvel films for example, long term planning can be done to better feel the source material.

Sam Raimi's films weren't perfect, but he was right to introduce his major players in the first film and grew them throughout the 3 films, even if there were missteps along the way and a bad ending.

Imagine if we actually saw Peter and Harry's friendship play out instead of reminiscing about being friends. And if the Norman feud had been built up since the first film and if it all came to a head in the 3rd film with Norman responsible for Gwen's death and Harry then turning on Peter/Spider-Man. You could still use the villains who will become the S6 all around those events... The Dark Knight Trilogy and X-Men films successfully balanced the heavy involvement of multiple villains because the story came first, not just writing for action scenes and treating the villains as pieces for action scenes (Rhino). If there hadn't been such a rush to shoehorn in events just in mind to get that Sinister Six movie and instead thinking of an overall epic multi movie spanning universe with an expanding story, we probably would've had a better franchise better suited to the mostly well done casting.

Because they gave you a new person to root against every 30 minutes.
