They’re messing it up
Tuesday, September 13th, 2005These three scary guys are slated to battle Your Friendly neighborhood Spiderman in Spiderman 3 scheduled for May4, 2007
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
- 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. -
Avoid using too many Villains
This was one of the Batman Movies flaw, other than poor writing, deranged casting, and weak acting. - 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 - 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.
