I'm down. I admire Marvel's balls, in regards to how they're trying to really make movies the new comics. First the cross-overs, and now the larger story stretched over two issues.

I'm all for it, though I'd like to see Raimi tackle a smaller project before diving back into the Spider-Man pool.

I think it'd be cool to cut the budget for the movie down by like a good $100 million, and have it focus on better writing, plot and character development.
Have two big action sequences (and intermittent smaller ones), but none of this trying to be mind-blowingly epic through the whole film.

Awesome news. I love all three movies and hope they continue to go to Spiderman 12.
Heck, they could go to 13. It worked for the Apollo movies.

It's very very horrible, sir. It's one of those things we wish we could disinvent.

So I'm sure everyone's aware of all the crap floating around with Raimi talking about the next two films. If not, here's an article/interview...
My biggest concern is that I don't want Sam Raimi to be remembered as "that guy who made some cool, clever films, then dedicated the rest of his career to the Spider-Man franchise".
I just don't think he has much more to offer the series - we've seen everything he's got.
I want him to move on to some other projects just as much as I want someone else to come in and breathe new life into the characters.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
My idea:
Evil Dead VS. Spider-Man
I say bring it on. If that's what he's meant to do that so be it.
Talk of morbius in Spidey 4. Discuss.
OK. The movie will suck.

Why?
Isn't it you whose mantra has always been "there are no bad characters, just bad writers"?
Morbius may not be the most interesting villain, but I've never found Spider-Man himself to be a very interesting character. Nor do I find Doc Ock to be an interesting villain, but both he and Spidey were fascinating characters to watch in Spider-Man 2 because they were written with such heart.
If they approach Morbius the right way, it could be great.
As I've said many times, I really like how Raimi's Spider-Man films have the villains as physical embodiments of Parker's personal issues. Peter struggled to fully understand his new powers in the first film, and the power-drunk Green Goblin was a great match. In the second film, Parker couldn't balance all these different aspects of his life, so the villain Doc Ock is a man with eight limbs.
If they find the right angle with Morbius, I'm all for it.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Wow, meg.
Wow.
Sure why not?

Uh...what?

Wats is bewildered by the fact that you missed my very obvious pun.
As am I.

No I picked up on that, but I thought your sentiment was genuine.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
... It's okay if you missed the pun. I did too.
No, I actually did get it, honestly.
I just also, honestly, thought number8 was being serious in saying that Morbius would ruin the movie.

It's okay, meg. You don't have to pretend you got it to not humilate yourself.

I agree with Meg on this. A perfect example of this is the scarcrow in Batman Begins. Talk about a villain with a boring threat! But they made it work and they made it work very well. Goblin worked well in the 1st. Doc Ock worked very well in 2. Venom would have worked had they made a whole movie dedicated to it.
Hopefully they just stick with The Lizard.
Or if they follow the comics, The Lizard and Spider-Man team up to stop Morbius, only for The Lizard to later create the Sinister Six. Something I can see happening for the fifth film afterward. Ugh.
I'm surprised they haven't done Vulture yet.

Out of all these villains, Mobius is the only one with a name that doesn't pain me to hear. I say they go with that one.
You mean you can't take Electro seriously?
No.
Though it's better than Lizard and Vulture.
