The Sam Raimi Spidey films all sucked...Spiderman fans were just grateful to have the character on screen...

Posted by: RoBoGuru on Jul 20, 08:31 in response to bapi's post [SPID4] is oficially online!!!

Most Spiderman fans that grew up loving the character from the comic books would have paid to see a Bay or even Bol directed Spiderman and would have grinned and bared it...Of course when James Cameron said he wanted Spiderman to be his next film after Titanic (which would have been great), that's when the clusterf*#& began and we ended up with Raimi.  There is a generation that grew up with Spidey in comics and a generation that grew up with the character as informed by the Raimi films and the latter for the most part really like Raimi's 3 films (even though I don't see how any case can be made for Spidey 3).  I, being a Spidey fan since 5 years old and having hundreds of comic books, HATE the Raimi Spidey films...they all suck...the first one was watchable, the second OK and the third was an unforgivable abomination against the character and it was certainly time for Raimi to go!  This trailer for 'The Amazing Spiderman' looks VERY promising and I have hope that this time Sony is going to get it right!  I hope Marc Webb's Spiderman is to Raimi what Nolan's Batman was to Schumacher's Batman...that's right, I equate Raimi's Spiderman to Schumacher's Batman films, I won't disgrace Tim Burton by linking him in any way to Sam Raimi.

looks like a remake of the first to me. Doesn't make sense at all. That first one is still great {nm} JMT-NL Jul 20, 06:16

But they can't charge an extra three bucks for 3D for the original. {nm} PrezBO Jul 20, 06:25

Yeah I don't care what the reviews say, I refuse to see this on principle. {nm} stevie1der328 Jul 20, 06:51

I tend to agree. {nm} Juiced Jul 20, 06:52

just don't think this needed to be made. that said, it looks better than I thought it would {nm} lobogotti Jul 20, 06:55

I'm the same on both counts {nm} tealfan Jul 20, 08:16

Doesn't seem like they needed a whole movie about 'the beginning', 15 min and move on...IMO {nm} freeflyjobo Jul 21, 08:50

Oh, the trailer. From your subject I thought the movie itself was online. BionicMoron Jul 20, 07:24

"You know the story. You know the story behind the story. Now learn the tale behind the legend beside the myth below the saga behind... second gary Jul 20, 07:44

The reboot of a nine year old movie... geez. {nm} Juiced Jul 20, 08:00

and one that was decent to begin with. {nm} lobogotti Jul 20, 08:02

and the last movie was only 4 years ago {nm} tealfan Jul 20, 08:16

That's even worse! Hollywood needs some need ideas! {nm} Juiced Jul 20, 08:26

I've got one...'Cowboys and Aliens' {nm} RoBoGuru Jul 20, 08:52

Hold up...How about 'Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots: The Movie'...nah, that won't fly...we'll rename it 'Real Steel'...yeah, 'muy macho'! {nm} RoBoGuru Jul 20, 09:02

What if Wii were to become self-aware? And Wii turned on its players? We shall call it... "Wii-Wii." {nm} second gary Jul 20, 09:19

I think Real Steel looks pretty cool. {nm} Juiced Jul 20, 10:13

Maybe you should see the movie before you discount it at least? {nm} Juiced Jul 20, 10:13

there had to be a new spiderman film, too much money to be had not to. problems is islander Jul 20, 08:46

Dude looks like a human bobble-head. {nm} PrezBO Jul 20, 07:46

I don't think you can say they all sucked. If not for the Spiderman movies the other Marvel Characters would probably never have gotten mai {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 10:56

made {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 10:56

wierd i can't get the trailer to play {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 08:42

What's a Spider Man? {nm} GuitarGenius7 Jul 20, 09:14

I actually thought at the end he would say "with great power..." It was all it was missing! {nm} thesilverfox Jul 20, 15:16
