But was Amazing Spider-Man 2 at a Spider-man 3 level of stupid?

Andrew Garfield grew on me after I watched his Spiderman films a couple times. Not that those were particularly good movies (the second one was supremely stupid) but I came around on Garfield in the role.

Same. I hated the first film less than I thought I would, and have eventually come around to liking it somewhat. I even approach liking Amaz2 occasionally: some parts at least look goooOOOHGODWEBHANDWEBHAAANNNNNNDDDD!! {cringe!}

The first AmazingSpider-game spin-off sequel to the first movie, much to my surprise, I liked A TON! I've played it through at least twice, maybe three times. The second game, after the second movie, hurts from having to half-jettison the story of the first game in order to try cramming in a loose plot remake of the second movie, but I still liked it more than the second movie. (It probably helps that I bought it after its many initial rushed-release bugs were stomped.)

Meanwhile, news today is that Venom will barely be in the Venom movie, practically not at all.

The internet's reaction is predictable:




...mainly predictable because whatever happens with the film, that shot will always have wide memeworthiness.  >:D

That could've been me last time I visited my Proctologist, Dr. Longfinger.  :hide:

Because yeah, it's going to be a deep, soul searching movie carried by its lead.


F'ing really Sony? You know who wants to see comic book movies that don't have comic book characters in them???

NO ONE
Insert witty comment here.

This is a rental if I ever saw one

SONY EXEC ONE: "Well, crap, we've shot our credibility with the Spider-fans, and our film division is projectile vomiting money, so we had to let Marvel play with Spidey, but we want (and need) direct profit without sharing it. So, what do we do?"

SONY EXEC TWO: "We could stop snorting cocaine off hookers."

SEX1: "Ha ha ha!"

SEX2: "HA HA HA HA HA! {snort}"

SEX1: "But seriously."

SEX2: "We still own the rights to use a bunch of other Spider-characters."

SEX1: "Which one is most popular?"

SEX2: "Back when I was a kid it was Spade. I mean Spawn. I mean, uh... Snarl?"

SEX1: "{Snort!}"

SEX2: "No, not that either, it was um... Spawn! ...no. Anyway it was an evil Godawfully ugly killer spider-man suit monster."

SEX1: "Sounds expensive."

SEX2: "No, look, we'll shoot it as a low-budget horror film, barely have the thing in it, y'know hide the monster until the end."

SEX1: "That's a time honored and well-respected notion. You can have extra cocaine and/or extra hookers tomorrow!"

SEX2: "Fans will come to see the thing, and if we shoot it cheaply enough we can recoup our production costs off the opening weekend; then marketing costs off the international market and disc sales."

SEX1: "And then what do we do with the profit?"

SEX2: "Well, there won't be enough profit to do much else afterward, so something without a lot of fx. ...hm, let's ask the girls here. What's your name, doll? Silver Pus--?"

SEX1: "I HAVE AN IDEA! IT'S -- IT'S COMING, IT'S ---!"

I didn't think it was possible to F up Venom any more than Spider-Man 3 and Topher Grace did, but looks like Sony always manages to find a way.

JasonPratt

This looks more like... something. Something Venomy. (With apparently other symbiotes.)

How does Bane end up as Venom? I'm so confused.

Damn, Hardy looks young in that trailer. How old is he?

That sounds about right. I guess his part in Pinky Blinders made me think he was older.
