J.K. Simmons Comments On Spider-Man 3 Problems And Reason For Cancelled Fourth Movie!

As far as Spiderman 4. Wasn't maguire trying to get like $50 million for the part? I'm sure that had nothing to do with rebooting/ recasting

"even in Spider-Man 3, when Sam was being micromanaged by the studio". I'm glad he mentioned that. Spider man 3 could have been great.

if SM2 doesn't give a director carte blanche to make SM3 the way HE wants, then what does?

a new character (venom) was introduced into a script that that practically finished, causing huge rewrites and plot holes you could drive a truck through because the character that linked things was binned (vulture)

all of that was done not to tell a story but to replace an unpopular character (vulture) with venom not because the story demanded it but to make more money. because SM3 made an absolute fortune the producers equate that as success.

Spiderman 3 should have ended in the Bell tower. Topher Grace was a shitty choice for Venom also lol.

I like it that he says Raimi acknowledged the script was far from ready, cuz word out there is it was pretty bad. The upside of JK Simmons being out is he can call it like it was, what´s the worst they can do now, fire him?

best part of all three movies!!!

"Quick call the caterer, tell her not to open the caviar!"

ITS SONY, SONY KILLED THE RAIMI SPIDERMAN. KILLING A GOOD THING FOR MONEY..RAIMI WAS THE GUY TO DO SPIDERMAN

Ya'll really need to stop blaming sony for ruining the Spider-man franchise. Everytime something goes wrong its the studio with you people. Have it ever occurred to some of you that maybe it was Raimi fault. Yes he did not want Venom in the movie but guess who pushed him to put Venom in? Marvel's own producer Avi Arad. He pushed Venom on Raimi because we the fans wanted to see him. Again not sonys fault but everyone on this site favorite studio Marvels fault. How did Vemon being in the movie make Sam put a dance number in the movie, or have Peter crying all the time. It was all Raimi. He was the one who wrote that Sandman killed Ben Parker... WTF. Then Peter let him go are you kidding me. What about Raimi always having Spidey show his face all the time especially when he was on the train. Come on do you serious believe those kids would not have put that on youtube, all Raimi. Raimi has a huge ego and with the success of every film he felt that he could do whatever he wanted and get away with it. He said he hated Venom and even though he knew the fans loved that character what does he do? make a joke out of him and not only that he kills the character again WTF. So be glad you have a studio like Sony to say enough is enough and went and got someone else. Unlike fox who Sam probably would have loved because they do not care about the quality of there films as long as they cashing in. Come on the Vultress another love triangle with spider-baby at the center of it all even Sony said WTF. I applaud you sony lol

But at least Sam Raimi kept to true to the comics. sure, he left-out the Web Cartiage system, but he made "Peter Parker/Spider-Man feel like they could truly exsist in a wolrd like today. And I know we're going off topic here: But why the wolrd would the company wait until now, to film in New York?

Um hello, the Web-Head, does Live in New York, Queens, he is a Queens kid.

Bring back Topher as Venom and then that kid from the Twilight series play spiderman with his girlfriend being played by dakota fanning ---- this "amazing spiderman" movie is just as bad of an idea

@spiderneil

I recall a dance number in the second film. Why do all the villians have to be a good guy that happens to be bad.

People were ticked off because he was not motivated by anger he came off as an idiot emo kid.

Then lets be honest who wanted to see an old man flying around. Out of all the villians you pick for the movie who gets to side characters villians to play the lead villians. Let be honest Sandman and Vulture do not deserves to be the lead villains in a spider-man movie. They are better being in a group of villains. Vulture when he came out was nothing more than a jewel thief while sandman was just a common thug with super powers. Nether villain cared for taking over the world they just wanted to steal stuff lol

SM1 and SM2 are much (MUCH!!) better than batman begins. totally overrated movie.

The fight scene with Doc Ock on the train is far and away the BEST CBM fight scene to date. I won't be watching the new film. Rebooting after just nine years while all your leads are still in their prime is just plain retarded. I won't give Sony or Marvel one thin dime for this abomination. The character was just starting to mature and grow. Now they go back to high school, pimples, and teen angst to try to tap into the Twilight demographic. No thanks.

After this piece of crap bombs and they are forced to go back to the director and actors that actually produced money making Spider-Man films that are entertaining for all ages, then I'll come back.

The Sam Raimi Trilogy will alway be my favorite CBMs

As for gopher play venom, he played a great Eddie Brock JR. He wasn't the mainstream Eddie but he was the ultimate version (which I never got into) so if topher would have been cast in this movie (which i believe is based on the ultimate series) i think he would have been a good fit. so most likely the newReboot will follow the same thing as spidey 3 and not have the mainstream Eddie, but the Eddie Brock jr, execpt it won't be an alien symbiote but a suit eddies an peters dad made.

You can't compare the action scenes in the Batman movies to the Spiderman movies because of the nature of the story. Batman is more of a crime/detective movie, in which nobody has powers. Batman is all car chases and real-life like fight scenes. Spiderman is all superpunches and flying around. Raimi and Nolan both hit the nail on the head with what they were going for in the action scenes.

But Spiderman 3 was the worst piece of shit since the Star Wars prequels.
