Yep, the Empire Strikes Back wasn't really a cliffhanger expect with Chewie and Lando leaving to look for Han because all of the other storylines, expect the main ones of Vader/Luke and the Empire, were resolved.
The Matrix was enjoyable as a cliffhanger to a degree. The movies were filmed back to back and are post to be watched as a whole.
Yea yea, ok so Matrix wasn't the first cliffhanger, BUT!
I don't really consider Star Wars a cliffhanger, I mean they planned for Han to die off in a big way like that anyway if you watch the DVD extras, it's Lucas' money hungry habits that brought him back to life.
BTTF I hadn't seen the third one until last year.. I lived my life perfectly satisfied that 1 + 2 existed, but since 2 sucked sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much I didn't really care about a sequel..
Whereas Pirates of the Carribbean is such a good movie I hate to wait a year for the sequel… And it's a new trend that really good movies need TBC endings to tell the full story, I don't like that, I may as well rent it on DVD then meh.
Like I said though, Spidey 3 has other reasons to not be a TBC including not filming a sequal at the same time as the 3rd.
I dunno, I read that everyone used to talk about how they couldn't wait for Return of the Jedi, because of the ending of Empire Strikes Back (to find out what would happen to Han Solo). So I figured it was a cliffhanger.
This movie is gonna drop a bomb on the Blockbuster movie charts!!
BTTF I hadn't seen the third one until last year.. I lived my life perfectly satisfied that 1 + 2 existed, but since 2 sucked sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much I didn't really care about a sequel..
Meh, I disagree. I love all three films, the third being my personal favorite.
As for Spidey 3, I'm pretty sure Raimi is going to wrap everything up that was established in the first two movies in the third and have a bookend ending for an awesome, stand alone trilogy but leave little hints towards a possible second trilogy. (Lizard, etc.)
Refii, 2 was awsome. It had 4 different Biffs in it (Past, Present, Old, Descendant). 3 I didnt like as much but I still loved it.
I only liked the first movie of the original SW trilogy.
I only liked the first movie of the Matrix trilogy.
I only liked the first movie of the PoTC soon-to-be-trilogy.
And so on. I definatly see some kind of pattern here, I haven't just yet figured what it is…
Aaanyway. But I liked the both two Spiderman movies. Those weren't anything mind blowing but still, likable movies. And I'm looking for this one. As for Venom, yeah, I think it will just set up the story for him as they have been already doing with Harry Osborn too for two movies.
I know each of us has their own opinion…but how can you hate Empire Strikes back? I mean Yoda, Pimping Lando, I am your father, and Vader killing everyone in sight was some ofthe best stuff in any movie Ive ever seen.
I pray to God that the reason Brock wants Peter dead doesn't involve a broken heart concerning a certain Gwen Stacy…."You took her from me! Parker, you damn pimp!"
And I wonder: How many time will the average AP board member think "It's just like Luffy vs Croc!" in this movie? I know I will...
Forgive me for bumping this page, but I just found pictures of how the three villains will look:
http://www.filmhobbit.com/new/Full-Frontal-Spider-Man-3-Villains-3819.html
I feel "Harry Goblin" looks pretty bad. I fail to see why they couldn't have made him into either the Green Goblin or Hobgoblin. However Sandman looks great and I love what they've done with Venom.

I reckon he doesn't dress like the Green Goblin because it would be too obvious to Spiderman who he is.
Also those pics look like stills from a video game.
Indeed they do, Venom looks great, just like the comics. Tho I'm not so sure about the webs..
Wow, the second Goblin looks even moreso like a gay Power Ranger character.
Indeed they do, Venom looks great, just like the comics. Tho I'm not so sure about the webs..
I think the webs add a nice touch to him. It keeps all the elements from the comic, while also giving him a slightly new look. I personally like that.
Apparenlty I read on wiki that Brock is pissed at Parker because he's becoming the "better" reporter and Gwen(does show up) and it is apparently the reason why he becomes Venom.
Topher Grace(Venom) versus Tobey Maquire(Spiderman)
Battle of teh two skinny guys…place your bets.
Also, is anyone here mad that Topher Grace left "That 70's Show" to play as Venom?
The ski mask is pretty nice and the way the flyer is angled it looks like Harry is indeed, A Snowboarder.
Snowboarder GOBLIN!!
Why do I think of an X-Box when I see Harry D=
Wonder if a leather mask design would be better… I mean, you can design Ock, Lizard or Venom to look cool in movies, but Goblin?
I really wanna see this!!! But i hate how they ruined the venom suit for spiderman. It has all those silver streaks in it.
A snowboard? cmon!
Everybody looks great IMO except for GG. I like the web lining on Venom, he looks very faithful to the comics. Sandman is good as usual. NOt really liking GG, he looks a crappy Green Latern/Silver Surfer hybrid. Here's to hoping his crappy costume has to do with the plot (hiding his identity from Spiderman). I expect this to be another kickass Spiderman movie.
Dude…that trailer was the bomb fucking diggity. I can't wait for this movie!!!!
The good news is that the trailer looks great and that Raimi still has it. My only complaint: the part where they said "Sandman killed Uncle Ben". The crook that killed him isn't supposed to be a supervillain or have any true consequences other than being a simple crook who ends up killing Peter's beloved relative and leads to him learning his greatest lesson. I could go on about Ditko's interest in the anonymus and unknown being scarier than the costumed crook, but I guess that has its place and time. (partially since Stan Lee did make the "Normal Osborne -> Green Goblin" thing work, even if that's what made Ditko quit the comics) I just wish that they wouldn't make it such a personal connection…but then again, maybe I should have more faith in Raimi and it could still turn out to be a great turn of events that add to the key story regarding Peter and the symbiote.
Awesome trailer. I squeeled like a little girl when Spidey punched through Sandman, who in turn made his hand bigger and bitch-slap Spidey. Classic stuff right there.

Yeah man, I was going crazy!! And when he gets punched through that building! Awh man was that awesome.
what the fuck? It is time to show Venom. Other than that, i liked it
here it is for those who couldnt watch it on tv: http://www.ifilm.com/presents/spiderman3
Pete's desire for revenge maybe his one of the main reasons to keep the suit or something… Man, can't wait. Another train battle!

Nah, the suit will probably manipulate him like it did in the other versions of the story and when he almost goes too far (nearling killing Harry maybe?) he'll try and get rid of it….
Too bad we won't have the Amazing Bag-Man in the movie. :sad:
Why did the Sandman have a Godzilla type roar? Either way, it looks like it's going to be good. And with the budget said to be around $250 million, it damn well better be.
The snowboard should, it ruins the idea of a goblin for me, and i don´t think the web on venom will be that bothering, and sandman will be the coolest villian i think.
…So Sandman killed Ben? I dont know if I like that...but he looks fantastic! Venom looks perfect while Harry leaves much to be desired. This is going to rule.
Angry!Parker seems to sport a different hairstyle… Haha, the suit's a stylist~
Wonder how Gwen Stacy will fit in all this. Like Jameson's son in Spidey 2? 2 minute screentime? XD
what about curt conners? they introduced him for a second in part 2 and he disappears all together? the fuckin lizard rocks on so many levels
I just saw an extended version of the new trailer with a clip from the San Diego Comicon. As far as I know, this is genuine.
@gilrules2000:

I think the matter of Curt Conners stemmed back to the first movie. After a joke regarding Dr. Conners in the first, fans had Raimi show Curt in the sequel. I read somewhere that he may cameo again in the third, but we're not going to see the Lizard this time around. (my guess is that he went with Venom and Harry Goblin due to obvious connections, but Sandman seemed to be used more to tie it back to "the guy that killed Uncle Ben" and perhaps give Peter a reason to keep the symbiote until he loses control) But I say that if its doable to have Sandman (hopes Raimi is a OP fan and we get some "Croc-like manipulations"), then we should have the Lizard too..if Raimi can find a plot to incorperate him.
I just saw a couple of clips from the extended trailer and I am psyched. Though I hope the idea that Sandman is Uncle Ben's killer gets disproven in the actual film because it messes with the reason why Peter Parker takes up being a hero.
That and the new Green Goblin looks like he came out of a Mountain Dew commercial. Otherwise the movie looks great. I can't wait.
that san diego comic con trailer is still up? i saw it yesterday on google video and later in the day it was gone. Venom looks so ridiculously cool. I need to read some comics in order to satiate my need for venom.
Also, apparently Peter gets the symbiote back in the comics. I dont know if there are any hardcore comic fans here but does anyone know the last whereabouts of the venom symbiote?because it seems unlikely that he wold put it on again after all the shit he has had to deal with (for that matter, last i heard, it was connected to scorpion or something. What about eddie brock?)

I downloaded a trailer earlier today but it was basically the one I previously posted, except it was "work in progress" - you can tell what is CGI and see some blue screens. I was under the impression THAT was the Comic Con trailer.

Peter has a cloth version of the black costume so at this moment in time there's no confirmation if it's either the symbiote or cloth version he'll be wearing. As for why Mac Gargan has the symbiote, Eddie had a change of heart and decided to sell off the symbiote so he can donate the money to charity. The kid he sold it to, Angelo Fortunato (son of a gang lord who tried to take the Kingpin's place), was classified as a weak host by the symbiote and left the kid in mid leap. It then found and bonded with Mac and been with him since. Meanwhile Eddie took his life.
Caracel, you are correct. That is the comic con trailer. The last thing you see is venom,a rather skinny one, but venom none the less, right?
Thanks for the info on the symbiote. Comics are far too messed up sometimes to get all the info.
The Venom clip I saw was identical to the one in the link I posted earlier, except there's the clip of Eddie going "Parker…?" just before the symbiote drips onto him.

Skinny indeed:
But he's got an awesome scream.
ohhh, i didnt realize what that was. It seems that they took the new one and added the venom thing from comic con because the one i saw has all this incomplete SFX.
I did notice he was missing his infamous tounge in that clip. And I can't say I noticed he was skinny when I first saw the trailer.
Venom is played by Eric from that 70s Show right? Well he sort of has to be skinny since the person whose playin him is skinny.
@ultimateclima:

I thought the venom symbiote changed eddie brock into a more buff person. I could be mistaken, i guess. The thing is, venom is typically much bigger than spiderman. I mean, that is part of what makes venom venom. He can find spiderman without him knowing, can do basically all that spiderman can do but better and i much more physically intimidating than spiderman. We'll see i guess.
Call me dumb but I was under the impression during the time we saw venom in that trailer he was undergoing the transformation progress. So that could explain why hes still skinny and doesn't have the tongue.
Eddie's still alive.
I remember he slitted his wrists in Marvel Knights Spider-Man not long after the symbiote left the kid. I thought that was it but I do have a vauge memory of him possibly being in hospital.
@gilrules2000:

If I remember correctly, when you first see Brock after getting the symbiote, he's actually working out. I've not read many comics set around Venom's introduction, but from the few I rememebr seeing, I'm pretty sure you see him working out not long after he first gets the symbiote. And bare in mind Peter didn't become more buff when he had the symbiote.
I showed this picture to a few friends and none of them think he looks skinny.
hmm this Eddie business is confusing
! In Spectacular spiderman v2 #5 the symbiote joins a dying cancer suffering Eddie in what seems like is the last time the symbiote can ever merge with anyone. Then in Marvel Knights #10 he gives the symbiote to the Angelo kid, and in #12 he slits his wrists, but if Eddie was Venom's last merge like he said, how did Brock get him off.. it's all very confusing, oh well.
I think people should wait to actually see the movie before they judge Venom, trailers won't show what he looks like in motion the majority of the time, and to be honest people don't give Topher Grace enough credit, he's at least as talented as Tobey Mcguire and I really think he can pull off this role because just like batman: begins, superman returns, x-men, spiderman new movies, the choice of actors has been getting progressively better (the movies themselves may suck, but the actor choices are good) etc.
Yeah, people are simply basing him off of how he is in That 70's Show, but fail to realize hes suppose to be like that on that show cause hes "acting".
Take Jack Nicholson for example, look at him in one of his funny movies then him in The Departed. Anyone can act like a total pansy, and that same anyone can act like a total badass.
