Spiderman 2

[pooon]

Screw Venom, I want Carnage.

But word has it, another studio owns the rights to him (venom) and the director just doesn't like him, so theres a good chance he'll never show up in any of the spiderman movies, but more likely, his own spin-off movie based on the venom comics. Which sounds like a good idea, but think of cat woman.

I think that both the Spiderman movies were sappy.

Did anyone else notice the parallel to Jesus in the train scene? When they're fighting on the train, and spiderman stops it by standing in front and shooting out webs, well. He's in the shape of a crucifix. Then they pass him through the crowd... Maybe it's just me.

Ooh thanks to whichever mod welded these threads together, I forgot about the first one

Virgo, the sappy bits add to it. I'm bored with superheros that just go on an endless spree of victories, I think spidey is far cooler because he has to fight with his own emotional problems as well as the big evil dudes

[ViRGo_RK]

Yes, but it didn't have to be done in a sappy way. It followed the same formula as every other "hero" movie.

But I guess that's what keeps it true to the comics.

who ever says that spiderman 2 or 1 sucked, they suck, Its a movie and who says what guidlines to follow, thats why there are differant movies out there. I thought the Spider2 was the most amazing movie I have ever seen, the CG is so amazing and they did such a great job. The action scenes are incredibile and no other movie so far comes close to that of spiderman 2.
I have seen it 2X's and I love it, I agree there were one or 2 kinda cheesy parts in it, but that doesn't make the entire movie BUNK.

So I heared MJ is not going to be in the 3ard one, but the ending makes it sound like she may be, maybe like "a stay at home mom?" lol, kinda cool that the Green Goblin will be back , can't wait till the 3rd one.

[ViRGo_RK]

So are we sure that the green goblin will be back? I know that they were hinting at it, but I don't know if that was just kidding around? I assume he'll be back

I've never really been a fan of comics, to tell the truth. But I must admit, I did find myself becoming caught up in some of the fight scenes, despite myself .

[Olly K]

I read somewhere that the Green Goblin will be back for the 4th movie and it would be venom in the 3rd. The there's that electric guy, damn I forget his name, for the 5th and the synister 6 for the 6th.

Though I think this is just what they suggested, I don't think any of it is definate.

[PCRIDE]

you think there is going to be a series?? 4,5,6 Don't know about that one, but I know for a fact , on opra, they did say that Kirstin Dunst signed a contract for part 1 and 2 , and didn't for 3,

I want to see Mysteri0


and yes I think Peter's buddy, Oscorp guy will be green goblin in the next one

[mentuat]

I was pleasantly surprised, the cg was as bad as the first one but doc oc was brilliantly played (green goblin was awful in the first)and I thought pete's angsty bits balanced well with the action scenes.

J. Jonah Jameson was great comic relief

[stevietat]

the movie was awesome except for the last 5 minutes, felt kinda cheesy, but I was mainly upset about the idea of bringing in green goblin 2. I loved this one for Doc Ock cuz he was done so well and was sooo much cooler than green goblin.

I was never a big fan of any of the multiple goblin villains, and to have to go through another movie of him... It also is a possibility they'll bring in Lizard, because I think Dr. Curtis Connors was mentioned. I'd prefer him as the main villain to the second goblin

And there's little chance we'll actually be getting venom, because there was no mention of Eddie Brock in this movie, whereas they did the whole big thing for goblin 2. And with venom, you'd have to have him as the one and only villain to deal with, so perhaps spiderman 4 if it ever comes out.

And if you don't know much about the spidey universe but would like to know who these characters are...


Green Goblin 2 - sadly, the villain who looks to be guaranteed in the next movie.

Lizard - rumours going around that he might be in as well since he was mentioned in spidey 2. Would definitely counteract the lameness of green goblin 2

Venom - the villain most of us want to see in the next movie, but very likely won't unless they decide to switch stuff around as previously mentioned. Though I don't find that likely

[Olly K]

Spiderman has many enemies, especially with the green goblin always coming back, so as long as it stays popular there's no doubt that there will be a series of them, like the batman films.

Venom is a very powerful enemy, so it'll probly take a while before they introduce him if they do, which hopefully they will

I'd quite like to see Doc Ock back cos he's always been my fsv baddie. But he's dead...or so it would seem

yeah, I thought the same thing and it made me cringe. I guess I'm just too old for blockbusters these days!

(my review from my site:

I'm starting to think I'm too old for blockbusters and blockbuster sequels.

Spiderman 2 is everything you'd expect following Spiderman. It's got the high flying montages, flying through city blocks, the whole lot. It's nothing that couldn't have actually just been cut straight from the first film.

The villain on this occasion "Doc Ock" has some wacky metal arms grafted onto him, they've got a life of their own after his inhibitor chip fuses and he's badass etc.

Sadly this film for me doesn't live up to the first one. The Green Goblin provided a much more psychotic foe than Doc Ock, there was significantly more action in the first one and the "final fight" was more impressive than Doc Ock's noble suicide to destroy the machine he created to provide an endless source of energy but which naturally enough becomes unstable and threatens to destroy the city.

The actors do exactly what's expected and of course I do love the Dunst in it but I think overall it's probably because I've been waiting so long to see this film after thoroughly enjoying the first one, then being let down by a string of blockbusters this year that I found Siderman 2 to be a bit of a let down.

It was exactly what you'd expect but I didn't really think the baddie was actually that bad. Still, what else was I going to do on a sunday afternoon? Watch War Games which incidentally is on TV right now!
