What could have saved the Spider-man franchise.

I think James was good for Harry but they [frick]ed up the Goblin family story

Toby was a great spider-man! it's not his fualt he didn't have countless clever quips and put-downs while fighting. that's Rami's fault. no doubt Toby would've pulled them off brilliantly!

and it's not his fault they crammed to many sub-plots into the third film.

im not sure where Toby was acting like a "wimp"- i thought he was badass at a lot of points. you gotta keep in mind the context of the character and what the symbiote does to him. he is a nerd. he is not cool. therefore when he gets something that accentuates his "dark-side" (something rami didn't like and another reason he was opposed to using venom in the movie) he's going to come across as ridiculous because he doesn't know what's really cool. he's a science nerd, so when he's trying to come off as cool he doesn't becuase he, peter parker, has no idea what that is.

im not defending this movie by any means. it was mess (but not like B&R like you stated. nothing is that bad) but im not sure why you think it's toby's fault. even in your article you don't bring up one specific thing toby did wrong as an actor. just that Rami's version didn't fit YOUR expectations. actors have no control over what goes on screen - it's all the director.

Would Franco have made a better peter? maybe - but he still would've been in the same movies with the same script and the same director.

and the "big shots at marvel" have nothing to do with this movie. it's sony all the way.

WTF!!! Whats wrong with crying cuz your father figure dies. He cried like hell in the comics. That doesnt make him a wimp. I cant believe you people called him a wimp for crying over the death of a loved one and crying over your love. What is wrong with you people. He cried for the right reasons

People must not know about love then. The crying was never a problem in the Spiderman trilogy. I agree a lot of problems were made in the trilogy but people are starting to get greedy and stingy. The pain he had put drama in the movie. So if your grandma/mom/dad/sis/bro died, you would get called a [frick]en wimp??? The same people who talk about improve this site and improve other things are hypocrites. They ram on things that dont [frick]ing make since for real. For example the Fan Fic problem. When the problem was fixed people that made sucky but detailed stories were getting rammed on. People saying you need to delete this because its taking up room. They did it correct but it sucked. Even people are trying to stop the "First" comments. Its only one comment and people compete. Yall B*tch abouth every little detail. Ya'll are the [frick]ing damn wimps because when one thing goes yall way, you people want to cry over shit and ram on things that dont need to be rammed on. He crys even tho he has powers. Even since he is super strong that doesnt mean he doesnt have [frick]ing feelings. Yall are [frick]ing wimps. Cry baby ass shit yall doing. [frick]ing pissing me off

First of all we really don't need a Twatlight spider-man and for another, NO MORE GOBLINS!

and i agree with corndogburglar and promorus
