Re: Spider-Man 3

You people talking about how long you've been waiting...

I've been waiting for Venom to appear in a movie ever since I first heard that there was going to be a Spider-man movie in the first place. Of course I'm quite a bit disappointed by the lack of the proper symbiote suit, but at least they got the giant white spider on Venom.

ps I might be going to a midnight showing with some people from work. I didn't realize they were as into this stuff as that.

Ive been waiting for Venom from ever before the first movie (while I was also waiting for a movie XD). And a proper symbiote suit isnt the only thing that Venom is lacking. Hes also lacking a proper actor to fill in the role. Topher Grace is too small and scrawny. We need a beefed up, steroid user to play the role.

Re: Spider-Man 3

Well, that's the thing. This is a different Eddie Brock than you're probably familiar with. He's much more like the Ultimate version... read this (from the Wikipedia article about Eddie Brock):

The Spider-Man 3 film version of Eddie Brock seems to be based on an amalgam of Ultimate Eddie and the standard Eddie. His build, name,[19] and romantic interests are all shared with Ultimate Eddie, while his occupation as a rival photographer along with his history and jealous motivations are drawn from the 616 version.[20]

Basically, he's of the same type as Peter. In fact, I'm quite sure that Topher Grace could have played Peter well himself were he given the chance.

And if you've seen the recent TV spots, you'll see that Venom actually is quite big despite Topher being more on the small side. Besides, the larger-than-life super bulk Venom from the comics would probably have just come off as cheesy and fake looking in live action.

Re: Spider-Man 3

I agree with Arfrobean, that this Venom is based from the Ultimate Spider-Man comic. I've actually read them myself, including the venom storyline. I think Topher is going to do an excellent job as Eddie. People just need to realize that Topher is NOT just that 70's show guy, who was skinny and kind of an annyoying character in my opinion. Actors are supposed to act, and Topher was just playing the part.

I was watching OnDemand and I saw some extras for Spider-Man. I watched an interview with Topher and saw that he had actually gained around 20 lbs. for the role, and had worked out extensively for months. I think Topher has matured as an actor, and is breaking out of his 70's shell... I'm confident that he will do well as Eddie/Venom.

Personally, it wouldn't be the end of the world if there was some new and interestin twist to the movie that separates it form the comcs. Having a movie that was entirely based on the comics would be boring because everyone would know what was going to happen!

Changing topics... has anyone bought the soundtrack yet? It came out today and wondering if anyone had listened to it yet.

Re: Spider-Man 3

I saw the commercial last year in july, can't believe it took so long.
It got to be kewl. I'm gonna watch it on saturday with my friends since friday is a school day.

Re: Spider-Man 3

Just came back from midnight showing.

Quite good. Has some heavy emotional stuff, but it's all good. The only thing I wasn't so happy about was the retcon that I mentioned before. I don't like when they go "oh by the way, this is how it really was", even if it makes for much better storytelling.
