The Amazing Spider-Man

Truth

Harry really was the best part of 3 ("Sooooo good"), but the movie absolutely deserves to be compared to the worst of the Batman series.

Amnesia was a convenient way for Raimi and the gang to shoe-horn Venom in. It was ridiculous. But Harry was ok. The first two movies built up to it and the payoff sucked. It needed a little more time in the oven, which is again why Venom shouldn't have been in the movie. And if Venom was NEEDED in the movie then keep Sandman away. Venom seems like a better theme after the death of Harry took place, though. Since all of the blatant drug referencing would be there, and ol' Pete would have been at a pretty low point in his life.

i was talking to a buddy last night about a possible part 4. does the series really NEED another movie? on the same note, who would they have as a villian and would they keep adding more instead of focusing on one? Carnage would be my only other logical choice to keep casual fans in line to see it but with how bad they fucked up Venom, i don't think they should even try.

Checking out my old post on the first page, I still think this would work well:

I like the idea of the Lizard and Kraven the Hunter.

Doc Connors becomes the Lizard, Peter tries to help him but can't, and then Kraven the Hunter decides to hunt down what is perceived to be the most dangerous beast alive. Spider-man gets in his way, causing him to fail, and captures the Lizard himself. Kraven then decides to then hunt the Spider-man and discovers Peter's identity in the process. Maybe throw in Puma as an earlier prey of Kraven, to see him in action (Peter watches the hunt on commercially-sold DVDs of Kraven's exploits).

Also, the increased inclusion of Doc Conners allows Gwen Stacy to stay in the story, as she's also a student in the class. I'd keep Capt. Stacy alive until Spider-man 5, probably bringing back a pissed off and more experienced Venom. Gwen Stacy hates Spider-man afterwards until she discovers his secret identity in Spider-man 6, and either she lives or dies afterwards.

Not sure what to do with Mary Jane though, although I'd love for a final battle where she wasn't a screaming damsel in distress: that's three movies we've seen that, now. Actually, now that I think about it, she could purposefully infiltrate Kraven's show/hunt to find out information about the Lizard and Kraven for Peter. Maybe Kraven falls for her and learns he is duped when he sees MJ kissing Peter/Spider-man, only fueling his anger towards Spider-man.

Kraven and the Lizard are both badasses who can individually give Spider-man a run for his money, even if they can't carry a movie themselves. And I'm all for more Gwen, she was a knock-out thanks to the actress who played her, the name escapes me at the moment though.

Future villains who could work .... Electro is the only guy I can think of, and even then in a short-term role. He can't carry a movie at all. Definite no to guys like the Vulture, Hydro Man, and so on. I wish Mysterio could translate, but he can't.

So other than the return of Venom later, I'm not sure what can be done for a Spider-man 6. Maybe if there was a Spider-man: Wanted Dead or Alive movie, where a bunch of characters tried to bring him down for a reward or something, but that doesn't make a great deal of sense as a feature film.

From Latino Review:

Who Might Be The Next Spider-Man?
By El Mayimbe on May 27, 2008
El Mayimbe here with a HUGE SCOOP to start off the week.

It seems like Spider Man 4 and 5 is going full steam ahead.

Over the Holiday weekend, Kellvin got a tip from a trusted source as to whom may be the next Peter Parker/Spider Man in the upcoming films. Because my batting average has been pretty good lately, Kelvin and I decided to sit on it until Hollywood went back to work today and I can get more concrete info. This morning, I made some calls to my guys, fished around and here is what I managed to find out.

Laura Ziskin and Grant Curtis are tossing names around. NO OFFERS HAVE BEEN YET. That being said, the name at the top of their list to replace Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spiderman is…

…PATRICK FUGIT.



You may recognize Patrick from SPUN, WRISTCUTTERS and his breakout performance in ALMOST FAMOUS.

My personal thoughts? Fugit looks like Peter Parker to me.

I also managed to find out that if Fugit doesn’t work out, the Spiderman producers ARE EVEN WILLING TO GO YOUNGER.

Who is the name on that list?

MICHAEL ANGARANO



Michael actually played a superhero in SKY HIGH and was most recently seen FORBIDDEN KINGDOM. Michael even auditioned for the postponed Justice League film.

You know that Fugit and Angarano played the same character in ALMOST FAMOUS? Angarano played the younger version of William in ALMOST FAMOUS while Fugit played the older version.

So what do guys think?

Stay tuned as more develops.

Hmm... I liked the kid in Almost Famous, but I'd really rather see them move the story forward, with a mature adult Peter who's been a hero for years.

[Dolemite]

So, Tobey is definitely out?

KRAVEN the Hunter for 4!

Right, Dolemite? <3

Oh, yeah. Totally. He's the best. Really.

Shocker still needs a turn at the movies.

I like the ol' walking oven mitt. I'd really like to see him show up in a Spidey movie.

I think a nice cameo in the start where he's robbing a bank and Spidey shows up and kicks his ass after a short battle.
