ORIGINAL: betsy101 I think we need to get a petition or something going...the 1st 2 movies were highly enjoyable, lets just leave it be....Sam Raimi did a great job and I think it tarnishes his movies by re-booting them already! Or get him and Tobey Maguire back on......Somebody should be concentrating on making sure the Captain America movie doesn't suck instead... Come on, this is just farcicial. He tarnished his own movies! I can't believe how blind some people are. er...no he didn't, he had a clear plan of intention for three and the studio ran over his input, ideas and authority and took number three away from him. In retrospect, watch Sam's maintained input (Sandman, Goblin conclusion) against shoe horned plot driven by studio (Venom) and compare, whilst I agree the reveal with the Butler was badly handled, on the whole three works, it's just unfortunate to come up and be compared with 1 & 2 His "clear plan of intention" led him into nonsense. The only problem with 3 the studio had any sort of input on was Venom. His inclusion and depiction are one of the worst things about the third film. However the bit with Harry's butler wasn't just badly handled, it undermined the whole of his character arc. His whole journey hinged on Jeeves or whatever his name was, not telling him his father killed himself. Where was Rami's clear intention then? Answer: He DIDN'T HAVE ONE. He stated many times before the third film was scripted he was unsure where to take Harry's character. And he stumbled big time. Spider-Man 3 was a train wreck of a film and we've now been saved from more of Rami's eccentrities. It's basic continuity logic that you don't set up a character for two films and give him no pay off, and that's what he was planning to do to Dylan Baker. I listed the numerous problems with Rami on the other topic and a lot of them really came to the fore in 3, but it really started with 2. Why does he keep taking off his mask? Cause Sam Rami doesn't give movie audiences enough credit for suspension of disbelief. Why doesn't Spidey crack wise like he should? Cause Sam Rami, would rather he got mawkish and weepy. The franchise needs a kick in the ass and to be as far away from Rami as possible. Sense prevailed at last.
