Spiderman 3 discussion / who saw it?
 
Thought I'd this into a Spiderman 3 topic.





There's no better way to say it: Spider-Man 3 was huge.

After breaking the opening day box-office record on Friday, Spider-Man 3 shattered the opening weekend record with an estimated $148 million.

Spider-Man 3 broke the record of $135.6 million, set last year by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Spider-Man had the previous record of $114.8, set in 2002.

Spider-Man 3 took in a record $59 million on its opening day Friday, breaking the previous high of $55.8 million for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

According to Variety, Spider-Man 3 brought in $375 million worldwide in its first week.

The film opened in 4,252 theaters on Friday.

Spider-Man 3 marks the fourth comics-based film to open at No. 1 this year, following Ghost Rider, 300 and TMNT.

Of the 15 Marvel movies released since 1998, 12 have opened at No. 1. Spider-Man 3 becomes the 10th Marvel film to take in at least $100 million.

I liked it, but I don't think it lived up to the hype.

I don't much care for Sandman being made into another Magneto (bad, but not evil),
and Eddie Brock is supposed to be less of a weenie (high school bully, never grew up).
Then again, my Spidey knowledge comes from cartoons, not comics. Maybe I'm wrong?

I could of done without Sandman period. This way they could of focused more on Venom. You only got to see Venom for about 2 seconds at a time.

Then they wasted all that screen time so Peter Parker can show off his dance skills. [}:)]

I can happily live the rest of my life never to see that film again. [88][88][88]

I like the movie, but I though they shouldnt have had sand man in there either. I also thought the Venom character should have been focused on more. I wasnt real pleased with some of the things in the end either, but I dont want to give it away for anyone who hasnt seen it.

I really liked Topher Grace as Eddie Brock, they needed to give more time to developing his hatred for Peter Parker though.

And what was with Gwen Stacey and her father being thrown in there for no reason other than a flash in the pan side story to make Mary Jane jeolous.

I also did not think I would like Harry's Goblin outfit but I found it to be one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time.

We saw it opening night and there was not a seat to be found, I enjoyed it a lot more than X3 I will say that much.

But it did not live it up to the hype, Venom really needed his own movie and not to be "included" in with other characters.

The movie was definately better then X3, I thought X3 was a huge dissappointment.

I had thought the film was mediocre at best. Pretty flat and ehhh, venom was so nice he might as well of baked cakes for everyone. If you have not seen the film yet, wait for a rental. It is not worth wasting your money at the theater to see

i didn't care for it....too much of a love story. The sad thing is they didn't even end up together at the end. There were some funny moments in the movie. And then there were some wtf moments in the movie. It's weird that Sony wants to have Spiderman 4, 5, and 6 made when most of the characters will not be returning. But, if they do end the series at movie 6, there has got to be a Sinister Six plot in the last movie. That would just be awesome.

rmehta2 05-21-2007 02:03 PM

oh yeah...Black Cat would be nice to see too.

I agree, X-3 was weak.
