OH My GOD!.... That movie must really really be bad if GL calls it silly! :http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/stupid.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

LMFAO Yeah, and the phantom menace was the best movie EVER!!!

[geoschmo]

I saw it tonight. I have to agree with GL on this, it was pretty silly. Probably not as silly as Episode 2, but pretty silly.

I quite liked it, but then I'm not the audience they're after. I never go see the same movie more than once, any more would be getting carried away I feel.

I have a friend who is really big on comics. Yesterday I mentioned a comic I read once and he went on about

"oh that was the 1986 series where they tried to redo Shazam. It was written by <whoever> and drawn by <someone else>" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

probably why he works at the comic shop. He thought it was poorly written and didn't like it much. Personally I wanted to walk out when Peter starts walking around the streets annoying passerbys and when he started dancing.

When my 10 year old nephews say "spiderman? No we don't want to see that" I know it must be pretty bad. Kids talk about movies and other things at school all the time. My nephews heard through the "grapevine" that Spiderman III sucked. So they want to go see something else, the Transformers movie when it comes out on 7/4/07.

They flubbed it? Man, we had one modern superhero movie we could point to and say 'See? That's awesome'.

And now, if it's flubbed...

[Black_Knyght]

I only have one thing to say to GL -

WTF, explain JarJar Binks !!!

[TurinTurambar]

I might go to see Spiderman 3 today, I'm a big comic book geek, and I'll probably like it.

I'm not entirely certain why Lucas thinks we care what he thinks about the movie.

I went to see it yesterday, and I quite enjoyed it, with a few exceptions. I do think they should have focussed on at most two villains rather than the three they did, especially as Brock's descent into villainhood was quite abrupt. Also when Spider-man went all black and evil, they came perilously close to ruining that part of the movie with its emo-ness, just as the third installment of X-men was ruined by the emo-ish villains. But besides those two points, I thought it was well done and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Well you have to understand that George Lucas considered his movies, especially PM, AOTC, and ROTS to be serious dramatical family friendly movies. So when he calls Spider Man silly, well then, it must really really be one silly *** movie.

Just look at the dialog in AOTC's and then think about George Lucas calling another movie silly.

And ya, George please explain Jar Jar!

Well, when a daddy gungan and a mommy gungan love each other very much (And do copious quantities of weed)...

[Randallw]

Haven't you heard, there are no mommy Gungans. Did you see any in the movies? They're all Hermaphrodite or something. Seriously.

I really don't think GL gave a rats *** about the scripts, I think he looks at these last three movies as his own personal private joke on the rest of the world. "See I made S**t and people still paid millions to see them. Ha ha ha ha ha ... ha ha ha Spiderman was silly."

I saw Spider-Man 3 last night and I thought that it was pretty good. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
