Spiderman 2.

#21
I saw it at 10:30 this morning...first showing here.... :D :D :D IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I liked venom and carnage...but, we already know that Spider-man is going to have to defeat Harry in the next one...maybe Mary Jane and Peter will get married in teh next one...my dad said that they're supposed to start filming for the next one in like a month or something...... :bassist: :bassist:

People may not like seeing Green Goblin again in SM3, but, to their (the movie people) credit, that is following the comic book. And, since so many comics have been bastarized beyond all recognition (see Constantine, the brutalized Hellblazer), if they tell the "WE WANT VENOM" crowd to stick it in favor of a more accurate comic book run, I say great!

Yes they skipped Gwen stacey, and yes, the web shooters are biologic instead of scientific, but both moves I think were for the better, film wise.

It was alright, but the middle dragged.

I agree about Octavious taking a huge beating that would have seriously hurt or killed a normal man. Special Arms or not, he shouldn't have been that tough.


Action 4/5
Story 3/5
Acting 3/5
Special Effects 4/5

Total 3/5

I think the next movie will incorporate another villian besides the Goblin. Vemon will probably be the other one, or Peter's one-armed professor.

Most likely The Lizard guy(one-armed professor) because they haven't even begun to hint at setting up venom(Brock hasn't been introduced)

I'd imagine we'll see hints of venom(brock, astronaut finding the symbiot..etc.) in the next one, but we won't actually see venom as a villain until the 4th

Isn't Brock fired from the Bugle because of Peter, is that how he is introduced before becoming Venom? Also, how is Carnage introduced? I remember the old Super NES game, but not the story.

This is another Comic-movie story arch that got left out, that probably shouldn't have been, because it will be a little bit more awkward to throw it in in the next 2 movies, but Brock is basically the Milton of the daily Bugle, he is constantly getting the short end of the stick, with his job, with his relationships, with his house, with his whole life. Yes, Peter is (more or less) responsible for Brock losing his job, but on top of that, Peter is constantly showing him up by producing better stories and photos than brock can.

So, Brock is ready to end it all, he goes to a church, and by coincidence, spider-man is there as well, currently infected by the venom symbiotic, Spider-man is there to ring the bell, which will release him from the Venom, As he rings it, the venom(represented as a goop) falls on Brock, Venom is an intelligent being, and it takes brocks malice and anger towards parker, and exploits it.


Carnage comes into play a little later, after brock is captured and jailed, the venom produces an offspring, that being carnage, which attaches itself to Brock's prison inmate, a deranged serial killer.

What WR left out is that Venom regularly waffles the line between villian and hero. Brock does want to do good and be a hero, a better hero than Spider-man, whom he feels goes soft on people (Hence the short lived Venom series "Venom: Lethal Enforcer"). He does hold a grudge againt Parker, but eventually understands that the symbiot is using him, and takes control. At which point he's a hero/rival rather than villian. But, because of the symbiot, he's pretty easy to manipulate and use. So he often thinks he's doing the right thing, only to find out he's being manipulated by XXXX villian.

This, however, takes more than a movie's worth of time to tell.

(Yes, I am a comic nerd)

I thought the movie ran a little long, maybe fifteen minutes too long. I liked the setup for Spiderman 3, because that actually looks as if it will be quite interesting.

Yeah, I know what you mean, like Return of the King, there were like 4 different ending set up scenes, but then it just kept going!
