It depends on story, here's how I'd like to see 4,5, & 6 done. Of course I haven't seen 3 yet but this is how I'd think it should turn out.

4- Peter proposes to MJ. Lizard becomes the new villian.
5- MJ is pregnant, Peter becomes super-over protective of her. Rhino & Vulture become the new villians.
6- Peter & MJ's daughter has most of the powers that Peter has. (A.K.A. Spider-Girl). Spoiler Below

I personally think Spider-Man should either stop at 6 or 9 movies. Don't want to over-do the franchise.

The way movie sites have been talking about it, there's no way this will be the last Spider man movie. With the records they have been breaking and the millions upon millions of dollars the movie has earned, anyone can see that this is a gold mine and it would down right insane to stop here.

UNLESS the main actors or whatever leave, but that aside. Vulture was actually supposed to be the primary villain in 3, but Raimi was told to have more villains and more elaborate ones so he got power houses like Sandman and Venom. So far all Spider man films have used classic, old school Spider man villains.

I have no doubt Vulture will show up and eventually the likes of Kraven, Mysterio, and possibly Electro. Right now, word on the street is that Carnage and the Lizard will be the next villains. Lizard makes ALOT of sense, Carnage does not. You'd have to make the movie rated R just to do Carnage justice.

Well duh the movie is already the #2 highest grossing film already. Right now 300 is #1 but Spider will beat it.

I saw it, and I have to say that I disagree with the mixed reviews the film received by critics. Spider-Man 3 was certainly worth the money spent. It was just as action-packed as the previous Spider-Man films. I really appreciated how the villains were handed (especially the way Harry was handled, going from wanting to finish off Spidey/Peter to helping him and MJ).

I just wished that they would have explained the characters better.

Spidey 3 is now #1 movie so far this year. I'll see it sometime in the next 3 weeks.

Unfortunately, all prospects that Paul Newman would ever have portrayed my pal Turny D seem to have taken a dive this weekend. Mr. Newman recently announced his plans to imminently retire from the world of acting:

His talent upon the big screen will be greatly missed, but I suppose it's the least he deserves to be able to enjoy his twilight years in peace. Many thanks to Paul for all the joy and entertainment he's given to the world via his wonderful acting abilities. And as for Turny D...there'll always be the dream. ;D

My nephew and I saw Spiderman 3 yesterday. Maybe it's me at 50, but the script, the dialogue and the acting came across like a cheesy fan fiction.

jekylljuice: I also noticed the announcement of Mr. Newman's imminent retirement on IMDb the other day, and I must confess that the first thing I thought was "well, so much for Spider-Man 4". I'm gutted too. :( Shame about Paul Newman generally, too; it's quite shameful for me as a so-called film fan, but I don't think I've ever actually watched a Paul Newman movie, even though I know I really should. :wiltshock: This seems a good chance to catch up, I guess...

Still, you never know with these actor types; they say they want to quit, but I'm sure if someone presented them with a really juicy role they'd find it hard to resist. Now, I don't know how adamant Paul Newman claims to be about this retirement, but frankly I think that our mutual friend Mr Century could be that role, as long as someone gets a screenplay out to him before he gets too settled. I know you've finished your essay work now, jj, so get writing! Live the dream! ;D

Ccook50: It's not just you, I think that's quite a good way of summarising it...but I've probably said enough on that topic. :P Didn't realise that's what the "50" in your username meant, though...that's pretty impressive. :D
