Spider Man 3 to me will go down as one of the biggest, hugest disappointments in my life of watching movies right next to 2003's The Hulk (ugh your next HULKY!) But either way this is something that I thought was going to be the best, I thought no there is no way you can ruin this movie, no way you can screw up this up. The cast back, we have an Academy Award Winning actor as the villain, TOPHER GRACE AS VENOM (Ok I was really mixed about this.) and the rumors of Sandman, Venom to be the main villains was swirling with anticipation in my head. But when the movie was released, it turned out to be everything I did not expect, THE OPPOSITE! Why? Well we already established that for years but what could of been better, what could of been Spider-Man 3, that my friends is why I feel I should write this! (Opinion wise not fact!)
1. STORY
Man this could of been something. The story we were shown in Spider Man 3 was so bad and convoluted I don't even know where to start. But to make it better I feel this is how it should of been. For one I thought the symbiote idea was great, the idea of man spiraling down into darkness who goes through a lot of emotional trouble. It could be the story of a man who just can't take it no more and decides to explode in anger. Peter has been through a lot and he has always just let it be especially in Spider-Man 2. Don't you think getting angry and pissed instead of all happy and giving the I DON'T GIVE A [frick] ATTITUDE WHILE DANCING!? The symbiote should of been used as a tool to reveal that every hero has a dark-side that could be unleashed and showing that no body is perfect. One thing I do believe about this movie is also Sandman, he is a cool villain but he shouldn't be the main villain. I saw his storyline and i realized what a waste of talent. He should be a VILLAIN not a OH IM NOT THE BAD GUY, IM TRYING TO HELP MY DAUGHTER type villain. IVE SEEN THAT BEFORE! Sandman should still retain his villainous side, he does whatever takes though to get the daughter his care, robbing banks and doing side-jobs for money is one of them. Again he can have a human side I'm not saying he shouldn't, but I feel Sandman was a dull and boring villain, your supposed to feel sorry for him but its hard too. The relationship between Mary Jane & Peter should of had MJ thinking Peter is not who he seems he is after a while, seeing that he is more angry, and more sinister as she gets to know him totally oblivious to the fact that it's the symbiote doing this. The whole UNCLE BEN WAS KILLED BY SANDMAN? SCRAPPPPP! Things like that people, ERASE!
2. CHARACTERS
Sandman and Harry should of have been THE ONLY VILLAINS. The symbiote is a big and hard enough complicated story to introduce Venom along the movie. BUT I'M NOT SAYING EDDIE BROCK SHOULD BE RULED OUT! I feel if your going to develop a character better instead of throwing him toward us then a good way is to save him up. Raimi and the studio should of considerably talked this over instead of throwing in Venom for a fans request. Let me tell you, I LOVE VENOM! But he is a HUGE CHARACTER, TOO BIG AS A MATTER OF FACT! What they should of done is after all that is said and done with the symbiote. The last 20 minutes should of been the last battle between Sandman and Harry or just Harry. One thing is Gwen Stacey who I thought was just....pointless. I saw no point to her or Capt. Stacey, barely dialogue, barely any screen time. WHY? Just pointless cameos thrown in to keep the fans saying OH LOOK CAPT. STACEY, OH LOOK GWEN STACEY! I believe Gwen should of stayed a cameo for future Spider-Man films but Capt. Stacey should of been the man to track down Spider-Man who he believes is now a menace to the city with the symbiote on him. That would of been cooler in my opinion instead of GWEN, WHAT IS SHE DOING UP THERE? (WHERES YOUR DAMM CONCERN FATHER!) I believe all the characters should see what Peter is anger, especially Aunt May. The line she said to him was so damn good, It gave me chills.....in the trailer. If the movie delivered it better instead of not even building to something than maybe I would of enjoyed Aunt May but again I felt she just said stories just because she is getting senile. As for Eddie Brock, his story should stick close to the comics but not being the JOKEY KIND OF PHOTOGRAPHER (Man that was lame.) I would like to see some seriousness dude! No hokey bullshit with the editor, GET YOUR GAME FACE ON BRO!
3. CONTINUATION TO A FOURTH FILM
Yea I said it, a continuation to end the whole film saga. Like I said the last 20 minutes should be the final battle between the 2 villains with Spider Man in his regular costume and Peter in the process to redeem himself to everyone he has ever wrong including the city. Before the movie ends it should be noted that Eddie Brock has taken control of the symbiote and it is implied to all the wrong Peter has done to him, getting him fired, and making a mockery of him VENOM is unleashed. Leading directly to the fourth film. The story with Harry should end in epic proportions but the fourth film SHOULD BE EPIC. This is the story of how a hero who believes he can redeem himself and still do good can also be broken by an adversary. That adversary is Venom, a monster who will stop at nothing but to destroy Peter and Spider-Man together even if it means putting people in harms way. This could also be treated as the final Spider-Man movie, an excellent way to wrap up the whole entire film series with an ending that says Spider-Man is the hero and no matter what will happen he will always conquer it. Like I said though, the fourth film should only be VENOM AS THE VILLAIN THOUGH. Only about him!
What do you guys think? Do you think what I said is better (if you say no than man you must have a feeling for Spider man 3) again this is opinions people and how I felt. You can tell me OH YOUR WRONG or OH THIS IS STUPID. Just be honest.
