S-M3 - potential bomb of the year? I just get the feeling that the same critics that were all up on S-M2's dick are gonna tear this one a new one, and that the box office, while still very good, won't come close to S-M or even S-M2 levels. So yeah, Solo prediction: 67% on the Tomatometer, and a domestic box office between $250M and $300M.

I think of the May blockbusters, POTC3 will dominate. Then Shrek. Then S-M3.

And heres my out of left field prediction: Fantastic Four 2's box office is shockingly close to S-M3's.

And I am probably the second biggest fan of S-M 1 and 2 aside from Willco here. So it pains me to say it. Like I said in the other thread, I will be walking into S-M3 expecting the worst  :'(

 :lol But seriously. I agree with Solo's assessment because of the over exposure of superhero films we are getting. Even if it turns out to be good (and how can it not?!?!?), critics will scrutinize it and I fear that the typical audience won't give it the repeat viewings and legs that the other two had. It'll still make mad cash money, but not as much. I'm just fearing that pirates will once again reign. God, the second pirates was mediocre.

Well, that's my worry. I dont give 2 shits about S-M's box office, unless Sony starts sending me cheques. But I am worried that there is serious potential for suckage here. I mean, for a FINAL part of a trilogy, introducing 2 villains and a love interest, resolving the conflict with Venom and Sandman, Peter and Harry resolving their issues, Peter and MJ, Peter and Gwen, the requisite Uncle Ben scene, Aunt May spouting platitudes, 3-4 action set pieces, etc. seems quite a bit to try and squeeze into a SATISFYING 2 hour movie.

Basically, I think they went in the wrong direction with S-M3, biting off more than they could chew. Personally I would rather have just had Harry as the villain, and no Gwen.

It was a rhetorical question solo. I know about the mess that Raimi is trying to cram into the movie. I just want to hope. That's all. To Hope. Am I not allowed that?

I say fuck the Harry character, just make the symbiote the main piece of the film, and end with Brock becoming Venom -- instead, they're cramming a lame two-on-two match onto the ending and giving the Venom character all of ten minutes on the screen. :-\

Of course you are  :lol Pardon my retardedness for not picking up on that. I thought it was an actual question.

I would love nothing more than to be proved wrong about S-M3.

EDIT: and hasnt comic book movie history shown that two or more villains usually doesnt work?

I think the problem was that Venom was shoved down Raimi's throat, and they've forced him into the movie. Just removing Brock/Venom, Gwen and Captain Stacy alone would've probably made this a far more coherent movie.

EDIT: and hasnt comic book movie history shown that two or more villains usually doesnt work?

I don't really buy this.  It's only the case if you pair up villains for no reason other than you have a fetish for guys wearing costumes and want to sell toys.  We're talking about Spider-Man, whose one of his more famous continuous threats is The Sinister Six.  Batman Begins handled it well too.

Indeed. And you just KNEW something was up when they went with Venom. I mean, since S-M1, Sam was all "classic villains only, I dont like Venom, blah". Then all of sudden, VENOM. Reeks of meddling to me.

Venom is just there because Sony and Avi Arad got scared when Raimi wanted to end his trilogy on the right note - that being the Osborn family arc. Sure, he was going to put in either The Lizard or Sandman to boot, but they were worried that the kids would become disenchanted with seeing the Goblin again and want their Venom!

I think of all the things that look bad about S-M3, dressing/styling Peter like an emo/goth to represent the "darkness" inside him is the worst. Possibly the lamest thing ever.

EDIT: I hate that, Willco. I have heard that argument a thousand times, and it never ceases to sound idiotic. "Green Goblin 2 would suck as a villain for S-M3 because we already saw his father lololololol". Are there honestly people who would boycott the movie because there wasn't some brand new bad guy?

Same here. With every trailer my expectations are lowered.

I'll be watching it, though.
