Cajole come with us taco!
...wow though I'm reading that GAF thread and it's tearing down the hype. :(
I'm not going, which is shocking. Everything I have seen and heard about this movie has disappointed and disgusted me. So I'll just wait and get people's impressions
Hah, probably!
If you're a legitimate Spidey fan and won't go because of mixed reviews - that's pathetic. Pretty much nobody has called it awful or bad, even AICN's super nitpicky comic book guy review. And almost all the reviews, even the negative ones, have called it as good or better than the original. So that's the bar I have for it. Going in believing that it'll top Spidey 2 is going to only lead to disappointment.
Nope. I got no one to see it with.
I don't care about the critics though. My problems lie in some of the things we know about the movie so far. The New Goblin, Sandman's connection to Uncle Ben, emo Pete, etc. That stuff turns me off. I'll most likely go on Sunday

So you're basing your decision on things you've heard instead of seen? That's still ridiculous. Furthermore, all of the things that you complained about are actually not being written as the negative parts of the movie. Almost all reviews have cited as Franco outperforming Maguire in his new role, and the Goblin as a cool character (and he is not referred to as "The New Goblin" in the film) and Sandman's connection to Uncle Ben was pulled off pretty damn well apparently (Pete's still at fault here). Even "emo" Pete has been written as one of the most fun parts of the film.
I could understand if you thought the running time was too long, Venom didn't get enough screen time (but then I'd call you a loser, because Venom fans are losers), the film had too many villains, certain characters weren't fleshed out enough, etc.
VENOM IS BLASIAN
Did you read my post? I not only said I don't care much about critics, all of my critisizms are from things I've seen in the trailers. You have it backwards.
Right now the movie's RT is more than 10 points below Superman Returns, so even the critics don't seem impressed.
Not that I'm that interested in their opinions, but it's odd to see such a drop in critical reception from the first two movies. Maybe things will even out by next week, we'll see.
tsc tsc what if there is a Blasain extra?
:lolVENOM IS BLASIAN
Wow, he is black, and his eyes are slanted, I guess you are right
one was total crap, though! NOT SOLD.
Not really. It's following a hugely successful and beloved sequel - and it doesn't match up. If you read the reviews, it's apparently as good as one, but hitting that bar is no longer as lofty as it was back in 2002.
One could make that same argument about Spiderman 2 following up the first, which was praised.
I was an avid reader in the 80's...
I just read Quint (from AICN's) review of SM3 and it pretty much confirms what I expected. He was a guy that completely gushed over SM2 also.
brandon hated it!
Wow, it is getting trashed on GAF right now :lol
I shall wait for your review. :lol
Spidy 1 was a 7, spidy 2 was ass. asssssssssssssssssssss!!!at best.
spider-hyphen-man franchise jumps shark; willco on suicide watch
your spin zone says otherwise!
You also said you expected it to get a RT score around the same as Batman Begin, which is a 84. Spidey 3 is like 20 points under that. (62 right now)your spin zone says otherwise!
Not really. I'm going in with the expectations that it should be as good as Spider-Man, which is not Spider-Man 2.

k, after some bad reviews here and horrible fan reviews on fandango I'm not wasting my money tonight. :-\
of course it is -- fandango's not gonna tell folks to NOT see a blockbuster and lose ticket sales. it'll change to STAY AWAY after the first week, when word-of-mouth will kill it
SPIDERMAN IS FUCKING HORRIBLE, i am watching him dance in a jazz club OH GOD
The movie, too much to explain brb. this is trash but action is AWESOME

uh oh :-\lets go.

Go anyways Cheebs, and see if you cant pick up tickets. Theres usually about 10 extra seats that are "reserved for managment"I have 3 imax tickets, I always pre-order for blockbusters. I was referring to PD.

And Beezy wants to rag on me for not meeting people :lol
Yeah, I may have been a bit harsh, Cheebs. I dont think it'll ever hit an 8.5 with me, but repeat viewings may get it over 7. I DEFINATELY am going for 1-2 more viewings though, because I am still not sure if I can even remember everything that occurred, as everything flew by so fast.One thing is you gotts let go of Spidey 2 and just go for Raimi's insane quirkyness which is ALL OVER in this movie. The movie had like what 50 musical numbers? It was nearing on being a musical but it was fun.
My initial thought is that I will like this one much more upon repeated viewings, once I get the "its no S-M2, or even S-M1" out of my system.

At leas this keeps me happy.
Those are the two things that really stuck out to me. That the film had a shitload of musical stuff, and a shitload of action scenes.Spidey 3 and the raindrops scene in spidey 2 (and I thought THAT was over-the top before I saw this movie :lol) makes me want a comedy/musical from Raimi.
lam0rzSpidey 3 is a COMEDY sir.
Beezy doesn't want to see it with me because he's all afraid I might beat the black out of him with my fists of magicalwhitepower! :( Don't worry Beezy, I use lotion, my hands are SOFT baby! :-*
And Beezy wants to rag on me for not meeting people :lol
I actually didn't invite him to this movie, but I told him one time we should ill. He seems like a friendlius negrosus, that's scientific for "black man who won't mug me".
