Agreed. "The Punnisher" was also top notch. So was "X-Men II". I was also a big fan of "Superman Returns" but I normally get heckled when I say that.

Superman Returns was not appreciated for what the producers aimed for. Rather than copying the likes of Smallville or JLA/JLU, they followed classic Reeves Superman and Hackman Luthor. I think they did that to revive the genre and introduce this new actor. Now that he's introduced, I imagine we can expect further development a la JLA.
Starthane: I think Manhunter would be an excellent character in a superhero movie but not by himself. He'd make an excellent team up with Batman or Superman.
A Green Lantern/Sinestro movie would be wonderful
I imagine the special effects might look a little odd as all the projections need to be translucent green or yellow.

A JLA movie would be the perfect counterpoint to the X-Men films!
Martian Manhunter's variety of powers would have to be reduced a little, like in the JLA cartoon - or moviegoers would see him as the 1-man Justice League (making his teammates seem redundant). Best to remove his super-speed, vision powers and Superman-level strength; emphasise the shapeshifting, phasing, invisibility and telepathy, which distinguish him from Superman.

[giddy with excitement] It's only a matter of time!!!

i was hoping for a "maximum carnage" tie in for the 2nd trilogy (which i believe they will make) at the end of the film....have cletus cassady being arrested at the scene, and have a bit of the alien drip onto him from on high....
wishful thinking, i suppose....its disappointing that they didnt make more of spiderman's greatest adversary (venom).

Sorry, they've got to keep the kiddies' viewing tame. Filmmakers don't want litigation from concerned parents.
I agree.
its a shame, really. maximum carnage was one of the all time great storylines of spidey.
Do you have a link to some synopsis of the storyline?
Casting for a Green Lantern movie
Slightly off topic, but I am giddy too
Kyle Raynor Green Lantern - suggested actor Rider Strong (might need some training for the silver screen, but boy doesn't he have the look).
Michael Shanks has the look as well, and a little more mature than Rider.
Maybe Johnny Depp for star power, not quite exactly the look, but way more experience to make up for it.
Jon Steward Green Lantern - very hard to pick
Noel Clarke has the right look but the wrong accent - any suggestions?
I figure the purists would want a Hal Jordan Green Lantern though...which Johnny Depp can pull off as well.
Any suggestions for Sinestro??

Raul Julia. (Oh, that's right - he's DEAD.)
Andreas Katsulas. (B*gger, he's dead too!)
Dustin Hoffman, back in Hook style. Naah...
DJ Qualls? He's got the right ears and nose!
In an attempt to fix this derailing thread...Harry's unfortunate demise was due to his exhausted usage. As soon as he made that pact he was a dead man, what good is a bad guy that is teamed up with Spiderman? He can't stay with Spiderman as that would cause the viewers to demand more Goblin (No Double entendre for you!) and there would be less focus on Spiderman. If Harry turned evil again what would it be? A mutual agreement to perform criminal acts and then get predictably taken down by Spiderman only to end up in jail, escape and do it all over again? That old rinse and repeat has been used already with Superman and Lex Luthor. They did only what they could...Although if Harry had just left Spiderman to die...Besides I really want Harry's sky board, it's a gadgeteer's heaven! (adds word to dictionary)
LOL derailing thread
Well, this is the problem faced when TV series transitions to the silver screen...continuity. The Batman producers have known this, that's why movies don't have Ra's, Joker, Ivy or Two Face anymore. The only rinse and repeat they can do is Riddler really.
With Goblin though, having teamed up with Spidey, that indeed removes star power from "Spiderman". They either had to make Goblin leave the country for some reason or die. Killing him off in a heroic effort is much better.

Dear all,
i saw spidey 3 at the cinema on Sunday and i really enjoyed it.
To be honest with these types of films i dont expect to much charcter development, i just want a no brainer action film, and thats what i got.
the effects were cool, the villians were cool, ok so it was a bit thrown together but who cares, i enjoyed it.

Altered Persona: Spiderman
The problem with Peter Parker is not that he did not love MJ or cared about her, but because his altered ego controlled his life and seeped into his personal life. Peter Parker was very creative in designing a spidey-suit for himself and giving a brandname to Spiderman, but he let his creation control him. This was evident when the Venom took over. After Peter Parker learned to control his emotions, everything returned to normal again. Instead of letting created things control us, we should go to the source and place the created things in its place - my two cents from this movie. Any comments?

It wasn't the suit controlling him though. It was an alien symbiote which had bonded with him, merely imitating the suit.
One could adjust your axiom and say "Instead of letting external influences control us, we should go to the source and place the external influence in its place..."
