Message: <blockquote data-quote="Prince Atom" data-source="post: 451977" data-attributes="member: 6046">I think Marvel has finally hit the big time.  There have been movies of Captain America and the Punisher, but they weren't very high-budget and didn't go anywhere.But then...  there was Blade, and MIB, and then X-Men.  They've just been using the money from one movie to bankroll the next.  I guess they just hit a sort of critical mass and started producing several movies at once.  If the market busts on them, I'm going to be disappointed.I must admit, I love Spidey, but I'm far more interested in the X-Men movies merely because the Spider-Man movie was old hat.  They chose the Green Goblin (one of his greatest foes) and had to follow him through to his apparent death, and had to squeeze a lot of story into two hours.  I think they messed up both in choosing an old plotline and in showing Spidey's origin.  They didn't waste time in X-Men with origins (because they don't have any), but why couldn't they have jumped right in with Spidey?  They could have gotten 45 more minutes of plot in there.Arg.  Sorry to rant, but I was just dissatisfied with Spider-Movie.  The effect came off like the Power Rangers (a problem with a full-face mask) and the plot was old and uninteresting.  If they ever do something with Doc Ock, however, I think CGI is the perfect medium for that guy.  Venom's another, but I don't think they'll do Venom; where's he gonna come from?  You'd spend half the movie in the other dimension shredding Spidey's suit so he had to accept the symbiote..../rant.  Sorry, guys.BTW, I swear that MIB says it's based on the Marvel comic, but MIB2 says it's based on the Malibu comic.  I guess one of them is wrong, or the comic got sold.  I certainly never heard of it.TWK</blockquote>
