If anyone gives a shtein, Spider Man 2 trivia - Daniel Dae Kim (Jin in Lost) is Doc Oc's assistant in the movie.  scene when everything goes haywire during the experiment.  Kim also has a part on Seinfeld when Kramer and Mickey get jobs at the hospital acting out different ailments.

not s dot hunter but the washington post destroyed the new spiderman today...

Must we always kill the thing we love?

In an apparent effort to put a stake in the heart of the franchise that threatens to swallow his career whole, "Spider-Man" series director Sam Raimi has delivered an overlong, visually incoherent, mean-spirited and often just plain awful "Spider-Man 3," a tangled web of special-effects overkill and self-indulgence that all but destroys the fun and goodwill created by the first two movies.

a lot of people who DL'd the torrent from China have said Spidy 3 is awful

Part of that is very true, but some of the goodwill that is destroyed is necessary to the plot line.

*old man alert* CGI is the worst thing thats ever happened to cinema *old man alert*

[SD_Eagle5]

I agree with that to a large degree. Now that its so easy to add ridiculous scenes in films at a cheaper cost film makers are adding unneccessary CGI and over compensating with it for boring storylines. As much as I love Star Wars, the prequels were the epitome of this.

[ice grillin you]

i only watched the first star wars prequel for that exact reason (well and it sucked taint)

and it infuriates me to no end to see the CGI add ons to the original movies on the dvd's..actually sd is it possible to get the orginal three movies as they were orignally made?


thats what was so refreshing about seeing grindhouse...the way movies should be made....specifically tarantinos car chase scenes...

The originals from the theater are available as a special edition dvd, you get the enhanced version as well. Only problem with them is they didn't update the quality of the film, it looks like you're watching it on VCR. I preferred the special effects in the original trilogy. CGI is good for movies like Juraissac Park, where they're used as a means for telling a story. CGI is bad for movies like King Kong (and Spiderman 3) where they bombard you with too many special effects.

im not shocked at all that spiderman 3 sucks. 2 was fargin so bad...i couldn't believe the producers even let it go to theatres. well i understand alot of people would go to see it and its all about the money, but come on...just horrible.

[Phanatic]

Really? I liked Spider man 2.

[SunMo]

i can understnad not liking 2, but calling it awful is a stretch

[rjs246]

I don't know, I thought it was pretty bad and I usually like those movies.

[SD_Eagle5]

If you didn't like 2 than stay away from 3, its a higher dose of the shtein you didn't like in 2.

[ice grillin you]

i didnt mind two...its was ok...one was far superior and a good movie
