They’re messing it up

Venom Sandman Hobgoblin
Tocher Grace Thomas Haden Church James Franco

These three scary guys are slated to battle Your Friendly neighborhood Spiderman in Spiderman 3 scheduled for May4, 2007

Freeze Dried Movies

Sony has been taunting us for quite sometime now and have only given us clues as to who we might see in Spiderman 3, which hits theaters May 4th, 2007. What we know is only that Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace and James Franco will be in the film and that two out of the three of them are conformed villains.

Actually all three are villains. Topher Grace will play be Venom. Church will play Sandman. And franco will revise is role as Harry Osborn but will become Hobgoblin instead of Green Goblin II(like he is supposed to).

Criticisms

  1. Avoid needless deviations from the original concept
    Harry is supposed to take on the mantle of the Green Goblin, not the Hobgoblin, while Hobgoblin was a formidable foe, his motivation are completely different than that of Green Goblin. Remember it Harry’s own insanity fueled by his the need for his fathers approval that drives Green Goblin II. Hobgoblin in all his forms, was lusted from money and power.
  2. Avoid using too many Villains
    This was one of the Batman Movies flaw, other than poor writing, deranged casting, and weak acting.

  3. Avoid using more Novel Villains just cause their novel.
    They become a crutch for the writer and it shows. I’m talking about venom. compared to Green Goblin, And Doc Ock, Venom is a youngster. Also to make his presence feasible in this story, his origins will have to be changed, unless the movie is going to go through the trouble of explaining the entire “Secrete Wars”, which of course would be a mistake
  4. Break away from the trilogy paradigm
    While I agree the audience is not going to stick around for Spidey 8, I think they could tolerate four or five. This would give them time to deal with more of the ups and downs of Peter Parkers personal life, deal more with J Jonah Jamison’s obsession with spider man. May be even adding in Gwen Stacy, to the mix. Also a few more of the classic villains could be dealt with like Like Vulture, Smyth or the Lizard. The point is to take your time. There is a lot of Spidey history to deal with.

Don’t mess it up

Tyrese GibsonLuke Cage

Can the guy on the left be the guy on the right ? That’s the scuttle butt. This will be s John Singleton Joint. I hope he does better than Shaft.

Having been disappointed with Comic book movies more times than not, I am instinctively skeptical when I here one is coming out. Once in a while there is a good one, like the Spiderman Movies or the first Batman movie. You get all jazzed then you see Daredevil, or Hulk and you are back in the basement again. Haven’t seen FF, Batman Begins, or the last X-men movie yet, but I digress.

To tell you the truth, I haven’t seen much of the work that Tyreese has done. So I can’t account for his acting abilities but as a physical type I don’t think I would have casted him for this role. But I willing to be surprised. After all who could have thought that Will Smith could be Ali, or Jamie Fox could Ray Charles, or Samuel L Jackson could be Shaft … ok he didn’t quite pull that off. But you get my drift.

Anyway this guy says he’s previewed the script. Yea I know but read it anyway its kind of funny
