Mtv Splashpage asked the director, will he be back to commandeer any further adventures of that amazing wall crawler?

And this is what he has to say:


"Every time I make one of the 'Spider-Man' movies, I have to ask myself, is the character still intriguing to me?"

"Do I love the character? Am I dying to tell the next story of Peter Parker and Spider-Man?"

"And so far the answer has been yes,"






---
I really admire Sam's commitment to the series, and I really hope that he will deliver in this next installment. Hopefully the studio does not hinder his vision.

You have to give it to Mr. Raimi, I think he knows when to stop. If the next movie in the series is like the third one, then it's time to stop but if it's similar to the first two, then please, Mr. Sam Raimi, please do continue and prove to us that number three was just a hiccup.

Didnt someone else already publish this article!?!

Anyway, Id rather wait and see how Raimi does with Spider-Man 4 before he starts making plans for 5 & 6! If 4 is half as bad as 3 the Id rather find a new director! I dont want Raimi to screw up The Sinister Six (who will hopefully feature in the sixth movie!!!)

Raimi is old-school you will see lizard, kraven at some point. Spiderman 3 was not his fault it was avi arad who said " The kids love venom" venom is not for kids to begin with. With raimi in full control there is no worries anymore he will rock spiderman again.

I think he's more than proven himself with the first 2 movies. And we all know 3 wasn't his fault. As long as he's in control I'm sure he'll do just fine.

@ tebag & Josh


I was asking mysel the same question about my article being posted first as I checked my phone's browser for updates. Seems although I posted my article with the video before this one, there may have been an error or two in mine...not exactly.

Please find a way to work things out so the existing franchises at other studios can get more oversight from Marvel, and cross-over into their properties.

What has 2 thumbs and is about to be chewed out for his opinion?- This guy right here!

And here goes: Even though I believe he got the concept of the character, I believe his execution of it is terribly lacking. Let me elaborate. Peter Parker is a man with many personal problems, yes? Yes, as in the movie. However the actual character Tobey Maguire plays in all three movie's is a pure timid wuss (EVEN AFTER BEING BITTEN). My Peter has a straight sarcastic humor which shows through with or without his suit on. He uses it as defense mechanism which helps make light of not only his personal problems but the scary ass villains he fights. It gives him an air of control in situations where he might not have any. Peter in the movie almost seems like a Clark Kent analogue. He's maybe done 5 one-liners in all three movies. That is not a sufficient amount. So for that and not that alone, I seriously disliked all the Spiderman movies.

But thats just me.

Even though 1 & 2 were pretty brilliant lets just hope they find balance of drama and humour this time! No more long crying scenes and no more long shots of Peter swaggering down the street winking at women and snapping his fingers like the fonz!!!

Mercenary: I agree with 99% of what you're saying! Raimi seems to go on and on and on about making the movies about Peter Parker - but his Peter Parker is nothing like Peter Parker, lol!

SHHH - Please don't take this the wrong way, but ARE YOU HIGH?! "Spiderman 3 was not his fault..."? Don't blame the crap-fest that was SM3 on Avi and the folks at Marvel, that distict honor belongs SOLELY to Raimi!

Who decided to cram the film with too many villians? RAIMI! Who was it that turned the Sandman story-arc into nothing but afterthought? RAIMI!! Who was it that KILLED Venom? RAIMI!!! Who was it that gave us 'Disco-Stu' Peter Parker (as if Tobey McGuire wasn't a big enough dork!)? RAIMI!!!! It's pretty hard to swallow the idea that his arm was being twisted by Avi and Marvel to do all this crap when he also claims to have artistic integrity about his work! Why didn't he just WALK AWAY? You want to know why? Because it was HIS IDEA to begin with!

After that last Shumacher-esque fiasco, I say lower the man by his toenails into a vat of boiling human excrement!

Its not fair to blame anyone but Raimi for the Spider-Man 3 fiasco! Sure, he may have been influenced by the studio but surely afte making two decent Spidey films he could see how awful the script was for all the reasons loganoneil listed!?! Just look at how much time was spent with all the Peter/MJ crap whilst Venom had about 10mins of screen time! Heasked Sandman to help him take on Spider-Man and a few minutes later they had taken over a construction site and taken MJ!?! Venom was a wasted character who had a lot more potential! And it was Raimi who was behind that!!
loganoneil
loganoneil - 10/14/2009, 3:40 PM
SHHH - maybe, but he was still being played by the eternal high school dork, Tobey McGuire! Tobey - acting like a whiney emo wimp may have worked in the first film, but the character is a junior in college now! How are you going to emo your way outta' that?!!

loganoneil- totally my main man.

COME ON!! WHO ELSE AGREES WITH ME!?
SHHH
SHHH - 10/14/2009, 3:40 PM
@loganoneil@ on my way lol


Raimi did not want venom in the movie to begin with, He was forced to throw Venom after it was written. That alone is a recipe for disaster. Or am i wrong.

SHHH - I say again - if he didn't like it, WHY DIDN'T HE WALK AWAY? After 1 & 2, he was Marvel's golden boy and could do no wrong! If he REALLY didn't like the idea(s), he had more than enough clout to make any changes he saw fit!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 10/14/2009, 3:44 PM
By the way,,, RAIMI said he didn't want VENOM at the time but it was forced on him!! : D

You gotta give the guy KUDOS for SPIDEY 1 & 2 two of the best superhero movies of our time!!



Believe!! ; D
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 10/14/2009, 3:48 PM
SHHH: Exactly!!! Sandman is not a good enough villain to have a whole movie to himself so they made the mistake of throwing in Green Goblin-lite and Venom-lite instead of balancing things out properly! To top that off, they spent the rest of the movie more and more Peter/MJ rubbish - did we really need to have 20mins of the movie dedicated to Harry splitting them up!?!

loganoneil: LOL! How about them justifying bringing in the weak character of Sandman by making him Uncle Ben's killer!?! Raimi is supposed to love these characters from what I've read in the past - Venom may have been forced on him but was that idiotic sub plot!?! If Raimi screws the next one up, its time for him to GO! Amen brother! ;)
loganoneil
loganoneil - 10/14/2009, 3:49 PM
LEEE - IF Raimi DID say that, don't you think it's possbile he was just trying to cover his @ss for the [excrement]-bomb he was making?
Mercenary
Mercenary - 10/14/2009, 3:50 PM
Okay, lets say it was forced on him. Which, I believe. If he wanted to keep the job then it is his job to make it work as a story. He didn't do that. He could have easily set the venom arc in the third. Showed Venom for the same amount of time he did, BUT set it up for Venom majorly for fourth.

logan - you are a cynic! Avi is gone from that position, so let's see what happens! How could Raimi have made the first two so good if he was as bad as you think? It's all about second chances, man!
loganoneil
loganoneil - 10/14/2009, 3:52 PM
Mercenary - OR... IF Venom WAS forced on him, why didn't he just drop the whole Sandman / Green Goblin Jr. story and focus solely on 'the man in black'?

AVI was the biggest pimp whore going, that guy would sell his own family off lol!

MERCENARY @ Well at least we might get a decent VENOM in the VENOM movie!! Well as long as they lose that kn*B GRACE lol.

JonF: To me he's had three chances, thats enough. Oh man when I saw how RDJ played Stark, I seriously got pyssed off because I see Peter Parker with a very similar humor aspect to the character.
