Surely that's what we want!

There is noting better than an action scene you have an emotional envolvement in, that is where all the tension comes from, caring what happens to the characters.

I think the Peter V Goblin fight we saw in the sneak peak showed this. Having Peter fight Harry but not really want to hurt him at the same time as loosing the wedding ring May gave him while probably worrying about being late to meet MJ worked very well. Layering levels of conflict ontop of each other is the best way to envoke tension.

I never considered why I don't have any drive to see the first two films again. Maybe it's because they're a little depressing? Maybe I relate too much with Peter Parker? When I was a kid,I was bitten by a brown recluse spider, and my dad gave me a Spider-Man book to read to cheer me up when I was recovering--it was actually quite touchy. I developed some serious problems that put me in ICU for a day. After that, I was hooked. But I never read many of the comic books, just really dug the character. And my dad died too young, so maybe there's too much of him intertwined with the Spidey mythos. Who knows?

I did learn one thing from that spider encounter. Spiders are not posionous per se. They are venomous. Actually, I learned two other things. Don't let recluse spiders bite you. And if you get bit by a spider, have it checked in case you've encountered a spider that's very venomy.

This is what I got back from the translator...

Work high above the ground's construction worker kisses a girl, and obtains erects. He uses a black condom, and has the nature and the girl. Work high above the ground's construction worker no longer is the spider boy.

And this was my original text:

Spider-Man kisses a girl and gets an erection. He uses a black condom and has sex with a girl. Spider-Man is no longer Spider-Boy.

And that should have been "Chinese."

As for brown recluse spiders...I live in England and we don't have anything venomous here. But a few years back I was travelling aroung the US and was staying with some mad people I met in Pahrump Navada and there was brown recluses about. People go on about black widows but they are pussies in comparison. Don't recluses make your flesh rot away or something?

I learned after the experience that some people even get gangrene from the bastards. I was lucky. I've known people to get black widow bites, and they can be a problem, but when you look into what spiders will kick your ass, the recluses are up there.

I was hiding from my mom because I threw a rock at a car driving too fast through our neighborhood, and the driver got out to chase me down. I climbed into a box in our garage, and it turns out I was not alone in the box. I felt the bastard crawling on me in the dark, could tell it was something big, and when I jumped out of the box, I guess he'd already bitten me. Suffice it to say that I gave away my hiding spot.

That was a rough day. My dad kicked my ass, and later that night I got all spiderbite-funky and was taken off to the hospital.

I'll shut up now. (I'm sure I should do that more often...shut up, that is.

Also, Raimi hits every point of what happens when the parasite bonds with you: you gain power, you lose your mind, you eventually lose your identity, then you finally lose your body to it. There is nothing to be gained by having more of Venom or Carnage from that standpoint now. At the first sighting of the alien after SM3, Spidey would just make a loud noise and kill it.

That's the same reason why I don't want to see Venom in another Spider-Man movie. Lets say for the sake of argument that the parasite's bonding with brock allowed it to rebuild Brock after SM3 and become Venom once again... What now? Go after Spidey again and be reduced to ash a 2nd time? No drama. Nothing.

Actually, I would say it has to do with the 90's comics-based cartoons, the major push in merchandising, and the movies that made Spider-man even more popular than he was previously. Yes, Venom is a recent creation, but think about how many good arcs involve Venom... Answer: 2. His debut and first rematch are the only things Venom has been an intriguing character in. Venom's "Lethal Protector", Carnage-related stories, and the current Gargan Venom are all jokes and just beating a dead horse til there is nothing left but a pile of broken bones.

Style_92, I don't know how that all plays out between Harry and Pete, but clearly Pete ends up turning into an ass and forgets what is important. He doesn't know how to balance his life, everything is a struggle. Not saying it's right, but his attention was probably diverted from making things 'right' with Harry. Though Harry chose to ignore what his Dad did once he discovered the Goblin arsenal. He was at the parade when the Goblin attacked after all. He ended up being consumed by revenge, hence his willingness to give Doc Ock what he needed. Poor bastard indeed.

I too think Venom is stunt villian in retrospect, but I loved him as a kid. I liked McFarlane's evil grin version. However, when the gaping maw with the incredible tongue version came about (Larson) I lost interest.

Superninja, I would love to see a Kraven arc on the big screen. I see mucho possibilities there.

How long do you guys/gals think we'll be waiting before we see a fourth? 3-7 years?

It's True! He's irritated and tired of being shit on!

speaking of which, why is that whenever this site gets a positive moview submitted, ie: where the reviewed does NOT shred the movie, mainly out of confusion, ignorance or jealousy, every screams plant(!). are you all so naive to believe that two positive reviews of spidey3 are plants?

additionally, do you REALLY think this movie needs to send two positive plant reviews to aicn? if so, you better check yourself. this movie opens in china first, then japan. both places that don't know of or care to know of or need to know of or even have access to (in china's case, harry's too lib for the chinese to give the kids access to the site) this site for it to make much of a difference.

sheesh people think before you type! PUHLEEZE!

Romita girl.

Peter, have you seen my bottle of Prozac?
