Retro_Link Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 IGN feature - The Origins of Venom http://uk.comics.ign.com/articles/780/780087p1.html Good read! We suspect this film won't kill off any villains. The nature of the symbiote means that it would be a challenge for the film's writers to reasonably and logically eliminate it. We're now fairly certain that our Sandman prediction (involving the symbiote merging with Thomas Hayden Church's character) won't pan out. Sandman seems to dominate the early half of the film with Venom playing out towards the climax. We have other theories, supported by the spoileriffic trailers, but we'll refrain from getting into them too much. If there are twists to Venom's conflict with Spidey, we'll see them in the form of a certain friend-turned-villain. How he factors into the equation we'll let you speculate. We have our money on a very particular outcome however. Seems IGN are of the opinion that Harry may have a part to play in the Spidey vs Venom battle?!
Happenstance Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Sounds like they are thinking along the same line as me then
Tellyn Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Can anyone here tell me why Peter says: You killed my uncle! to Sandman, if the thug guy killed him?
rokhed00 Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Can anyone here tell me why Peter says: You killed my uncle! to Sandman, if the thug guy killed him? Sam Raimi is doing an RTD.
Retro_Link Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Can anyone here tell me why Peter says: You killed my uncle! to Sandman, if the thug guy killed him?Because Spidey went after the wrong person from the gang in the first film, it was actually Flint Marko who is now Sandman.
Happenstance Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Im hoping that theres some kind of twist during the movie and it wasnt Marko as im not really happy about them changing Spider-Man history like this just so they could make Sandman a more worthwhile villian.
arab_freak Posted April 14, 2007 Author Posted April 14, 2007 (which the link was removed because its illegal anyway) It wasn't the OFFICIAL novelization of the film, just a word file with excerpts from it, explanations, and pictures from the film.
MunKy Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 It wasn't the OFFICIAL novelization of the film, just a word file with excerpts from it, explanations, and pictures from the film. I wouldn't mind a link to that since I'll probably miss the film cuz of my job.
Tellyn Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Because Spidey went after the wrong person from the gang in the first film, it was actually Flint Marko who is now Sandman. Gang? What gang? He let one man get away!
rokhed00 Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Because Spidey went after the wrong person from the gang in the first film, it was actually Flint Marko who is now Sandman. No, it wasn't. Im hoping that theres some kind of twist during the movie and it wasnt Marko as im not really happy about them changing Spider-Man history like this just so they could make Sandman a more worthwhile villian. More worthwhile? This is what I hate about a lot of movies and TV today, there has to be some sort of emotional/personal attachment/involvement for it to be deemed worthwhile. Sandman is a classic villain, they didn't need to make it personal.
ReZourceman Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Well it the comics it wasnt....but in the film it is...soo..... This time its personal. Hahahhahahhaha. Anyway, I was the first person at my Cinema to book Spider-Man 3. Thus my choice of where to sit was the entire cinema...I chose M 13...right in the middle of the cinema. I WIN! I EFFING WIN!!!
Retro_Link Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 No, it wasn't.No what wasn't? It wasn't Flint Marco who killed Uncle Ben? Because it was! Or at least that's what we've been told going into the movie!
Happenstance Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Bit more Venom footage: Venom TV Spot Full Venom Transformation
ReZourceman Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Hmmm. (I saw the Venom centric UK tv trailer...aaahhh, I about came like literally 6 times. My girlfriend and my girlfriends mum laughed at me) Im not going to watch those though.
Gentleben Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 I read the official Spiderman 3 Book and I'm very impressed with the storyline. Here be spoilers! You have been warned!!! Harry/Son of Goblin dies saving Peter's/Spidermans Life in the final Battle. Venom is killed and so is Eddie brock-But no one really cares cause he was a big looser anyway and faked photos to get a job at the paper. Oh and Harry/Son of Goblin forces MJ to break up with Peter/Spiderman but thats no loss cause during the film Peter/Spiderman treats MJ like a real jerk cause of the way the suit changes him

arab_freak Posted April 24, 2007 Author Posted April 24, 2007 The spoiler sounds like it was written by a 12 year-old.
ReZourceman Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 Cool....Just not gonna come in this thread now. Lol.
rokhed00 Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Just got back from the cinema, so I'll do a little breakdown of the movie. The negatives Mary Jane - Not only have they turned her in to a self centred bitch, but her career is now musical theatre. Totally out of characters from the comics, she was always supportive of Peter as Spiderman, and her career choice was one of model, something Kirsten Dunst is obviously more suited to. Bruce Campbell - I understand Raimis loyalty to him, he'd be nothing without Bruce, but if you have to put him in every one of your films at least give him a decent part, the Clouseau style french waiter was just painful to watch. Symbiote Spiderman/Parker - seriously, where is the bad? So he treated his ex girlfriend (MJ) and best friend (Harry) badly, but they were both being arseholes long before the symbiote got its claws in to him, he was only doing what most people would do in that situation. Aunt May - No matter how much credit Ben Parker deserves for his one gem of wisdom with the power/responsibility speech, his widow should not be allowed to give advice, she hasn't a clue. Venom - not only does he look like a turd with arms and legs, but he has no personality. What made Venom in the comics was his personiatiy, in the movie all he does is screech unless he reveals his Eric Foreman, I mean, Eddy Brock face. Now the good Sandman - they got him almost spot on, the origin was a little off, but his personality was just right and his powers were well realized, shame about the little Parker/Marko conversation at the end, it just tipped a spoonful of sugar on the character. Considering there was more bad than good it wasn't bad, but it could have been so much better.
