"Sorry. Well, I'm sure I'm not the first one to make that mistake."

"Nor will you be the last."

He's on the record as saying if they want him to do Spidey 4 he is to have total control over script, content, casting, final cuts, etc., so expect something of a reboot and either Lizard, Kraven or both.

Big Raimi fan here, love Evil Dead, love his Spider-Man (1 and 2) movies and almost everything else he did. Can't wait to see Drag me to Hell.

Oh, and Spider-man 2 is probably THE best comic book to movie adaptation made so far. Yes even better than The Dark Knight, which I love more than some of my family members.

In the interview Raimi did for Empire, he talks a lot about having more creative control over the 4th Spider-Man. I hope he gets his way, because that seems like the only way to pull the series back from the mess it got itself into - one guy deciding what would make for a good film, not a bunch of suits interfering because they have toys to sell.

What Bruce and Clark WOULD do is turkey slap the bitches.

Raimi made him a crying emo loser,focused heavily on the romance part of the movie and dragged it too much in the 2 sequels,spiderman was rarely seen to make witty comments when fighting the villains and as the fights themselves were concerned,well they were good but not that impressive like in the comics.

especially spidys movement,fighting,swinging,bod y standing etc wasnt look too acrobatic or rather it didnt give the feeling of a spider.

fans who have read mcfarlanes work,will know what i mean.

personally i would like to have Cameron to start the franchise rathen than Raimi,i am sure camerons vision would be more faithful to the comic character.but alas it didnt happen like this way.

anyway i look forward to raimis new horror movie,there have been many years since his mediocre The Gift,i am sure this one will be awesome,and i hope someday we ll finally get ED4.with Bruce Campbell ofc.

If you watched Spidey's final swing through New York and all your jaded brain could muster was "Pffft, this CGI is shit" you are going to enjoy very few films.

Are the effects perfect? No, but I'm fucked if I know when it was people started expecting perfection from special effects, or why. What the hell happened to suspending your disbelief, going along for the ride and whatnot?

its just like the new star trek,it is a prequel/reboot,not just a prequel or reboot.

Moreover Sam didnt do justice to the original comic character of her.i mean where in the movie is this dynamic,tough,hot redhead,model and artist woman who supports and helps Peter but she can also stand up by herself?

The whining,weak,not so hot,Kirsten Dusnt version wasnt what exactly we have known from the comics all these years.

I do agree that different mediums require different approaches when transfering a universe,a world,a franchise from one medium to another.

But here we are talking about the characters and characters are independanble of the medium.

And i ask you,why wisecracks wouldnt have worked in the movie version of Spiderman? would they made him look more stupid? well yes,if the director was trying to make a teenage comedy movie.but if he knew his shit,he had the talent and the correct vision,he could add the wisecraks respecting that way the character.which thats why u go to see spiderman in the cinemas,to see the character of spiderman u know from the comics,not some pathetic emo kid.

get my point?

But the Raimi I love is the Raimi that gave us the Evil Dead trilogy and the always under appreciated Darkman & The Quick & The Dead. The Gift was also better than it was often given credit for being, and the little seen Crimewave I always found to be a really fun, crazy flick, with a great performance from the late, great Brion James to boot. I still haven't actually seen For Love of the Game, but A Simple Plan, that, to me, is Raimi's true masterpiece so far. Lots of other Raimi flicks I love to watch, and re-watch, but A Simple Plan is just plain brilliance on film. So a new Raimi film, and one that gives me the vibe of his older, lower budgeted and more personal filmic efforts, you'd better believe I'm there...

even the tagline of the movie was: "can u believe a man can fly?"

and thats was donners big success with the movie,he made us believe that truly a man can fly.

u see if i use your logic,flying is just like venoms goo,it can work in the comic,but it cant work in the film.

BUT as history showed flying does work in the film too.it didnt make superman less believable,it didnt make it impossible for us to relate to him.

u ask how we relate on him? well we cant fly,and ofc superman is larger than life,but at the end of day he was in love and trying to get the girl.just like us when we were in love with the girl of our dream and trying to get her.

So no the problem with the movie adaptation of spiderman isnt the goo and the wisecracks or the love affair,the problem is how u use them,how u incorporate them in the film and how u maintain the balance of the story.

in other words,dont have superman flying in the movie.let he fans cry about that,but the rest of audience will relate easier to him.ok with that.BUT that will make a better film,if u have him the whole time cryign because he didnt manage to save lois from the earthquakes? i dont think so.

http://tinyurl.com/d5bzcf its the scene in the garage,when the gupsy attacks the heroine.

i am really,really disappointed with the movie now.the film is more ARMY OF DARKNESS,than EVIL DEAD 1.

damn it,i know that quint mentioned that in his review,but i didnt expect the movie to be so comical.it looks more than a parody ala Naked Gun,than a horror-comedy movie.

jesus christ, FUCK THIS SHIT :/

but a script is a script.it changes,it transforms,it evolutes.just read raimis interview in this topic.the movie is different in some things,than the things in the script that quint had read.

besides have u read camerons original script about T1? well it would have been a very different movie than what we have now.

Otherwise, they're very good, and I've read the comics since I was 10.

Have Connors turn into the Lizard. Have JJ Jameson hire Kraven to hunt lizard down as a publicity stunt. Spidey, knowing who lizard really is, interferes...and Kraven decides Spidey is the more worthy foe. mayhem ensues. Except this time, no more kidnapping MJ for chrissake

And SM2 is prolly my favorite superhero movie. Aunt May's speech about heroism makes my eyes rain a little bit. But then again I have a scarab tattooed over my heart so...

in the comics he was just a shy,low profile teenager,without selfesteem,who liked science and wanted to have dates with girls who liked,but didnt have the courage.

but as the comics progressed,he becomes a very cool confident,mature person.ok he whines here and there,he sometimes feels ready to give up,but at the end of the dya he will kick ass.

Its kinda hard to hate on a guy who just looks so dapper all the time.

Why is James Bond the only character the public can accept recasting? I WANT to see Spider-Man 10. I want the series to go on for the rest of my life, with different actors and directors as need be. Is that too much to ask?

Is it a studio insistence?

Yeah, and Raimi's disconnection with the love triangle and the character of Venom is more than obvious in the film.
