Let's hope that as many mistakes as possible are fixed for it's release onto video & D.V.D towards thend of this year/start of next

 

[tokyogirl]

fingers crossed....

I'd like to see the movie again so that I can spot some of the goofs!

 

[tokyogirl]

i rarely notice them on the big screen. i think it's mainly the atmosphere. when you're at home you're more aware that you're watching a movie and slightly less into it. but i notice them on video all the time. that's why i want to see it then and find them.

Based on the routine that one average films take 6mnths from finishing at the cinema to being released on video & D.V.D

Bloomin' eck! Looks like this is going to be a 'must have'. I am foaming at the mouth already!

 

[tokyogirl]

some take longer. like episode I. that took like a year.

 

[Bayleaf48]

I know, but that's just how it is

 

[tokyogirl]

well it should be like that. they should come out fast so i don't have to wait you know how i hate waiting.

 

[Bayleaf48]

I now you do, but the film companies make more money by making us wait for them to come out

 

[angelle myst]

I just watched the movie tonight and i have to say it was funnier than i expected, but (theres always a but ) i was so disappointed with the ending i actually yelled at the tv - "Is that it?!" other than that it was quite enjoyable - loved it when he was on the roof trying to test out his web thingy but couldnt get it to work

[tokyogirl]

'go web go!':rolly2:

i was a little disappointed with the ending, but i'm pretty sure they did it so they could have some where to go with the sequel. this isn't like batman where he has a new flame every movie. it's more like superman where they have to find a way to keep the romance and suspense going.

 

[angelle myst]

I know it was for the sequel which was why it ****ed me off. A sequel just means more money in Hollywood and they are always ten times worse than they original

xxx

 

[tokyogirl]

yeah but i'm sure they're planning on stopping there. i'm sure they want to turn this into the next big superhero movie franchise. when they're already planning on making more than just one more movie, they usually put more effort into it.

 

[Quill]

I loved Spider-Man! I was more than a little surprised that it turned out as well as it did. There are precious few examples of films with decent sequels in Hollywood, and I really do hope they can keep all the elements that made the first Spidey so successful alive in future installments.

 

[timdgreat]

i really liked the movie, didnt notice any goofs in it, instead i just sat back and enjoyed it:rolly2:

 

[tokyogirl]

never noticed them in the theater. only after watching it on dvd later.

 

[timdgreat]

oh well then i had better go and rent it:rolly2:

Sorry, I'm late to the party again.

I just saw this on DVD when I got home and it's really rather good. My wife and kids all watched it this afternoon and surprisingly everybody liked it too. I enjoyed it all and didn't notice any mistakes. The jumping and webbing scenes were excellent. I loved the wrestling match too.

is that the actor that played Harry Osbourne?....

....I would imagine he will be coming back for the sequels.

Like him revenging his father's death, and becoming the Green Goblin 2?

Why didn't anyone like the ending?

MaryJane realised Peter was Spider-Man from his kiss. What more do you want?

I might just go and watch it again!
