definately would have made a better spiderman than venom i'd say

 

I personally think Maguire fits Parker to a T. I also think Topher works as Venom, as it appears that they are making Venom the Antispiderman. I look forward to seeing what they can do (also I did not recognize Topher at all in the trailer, so they must be doing something right).

 

You only say that because you don't read the comics. Poser.

 

He seems a bit, well, wimpy to portray Venom in the movies. I suspect the symbiote may somehow alter his strength and make him stronger overall.

As for Maquire he's an okay Spider-Man, but I think they should've gone with more of an unknown then someone like him who was rising up when they got him. There is a lot of talent out there that I think could've played Spider-Man better, including Topher Grace. He has the skiny, lanky look and has developed good comedic timing that would've helped him portray Spider-Man. In the comics, Spider-Man always had a quick wit and sharp tongue that he'd use against his dummer enemies. When Maguire says a standard Spider-Man quip, it sounds forced, not natural.

 

He seems to be a fairly good actor so I'm totally down with it

 

  Isn't that what the symbiotes tend to?

Too true. He also looks like his smiling ALL the time. *cough*UncleBen'sdeath*cough*

 

Exactly! It's all in his tone and delivery, and it just doesn't seem right.

 

I think McGuire was alright as nerdy Peter Parker, but he's never gotten being Spidey right (at least to me), far to low key and a bit dull. I think Grace would've been a better choice for but now that he's Venom (which I do like) there's no way he'll be Spidey.

 

Blam!

Guess what kids, Superhero comics don't work on the big screen when moved panel for panel on to celluloid. Raimi hasn't done us wrong yet, let's not get all emo about something we really know very little about.

(((_o emo kid cares little for your pain, for he bleeds his own in rivers of red on his bedroom floor.

 

I'll hold off one what I think about till I've actually seen the film.

 

i'll wait and see. my initial reaction was also that it should've been someone with more muscle but hey, he might pull it off.

 

I HEARD MR T WAS GOING TO BE IN THE NEW SPIDERMAN MOVIE LOLOLOL HE WAS BE VENOM LOLOL NOW THE MOVIE SUXXORZ KTHXBYE

 

I expected the actor playing Eddie to be er, bigger size but what the heck...I will reserve passing comments until I watch the show.

 

I think Forman will do a good job.

But all the hard stuff is done by the computer animators at any rate.

 

Very true, plus the fact that McGuire from the sounds of things doesn't want to make another sequel, I do agree the Grace would have made a much better Spider Man than Venom and even though I'm a huge Venom fan(its basically one of the reasons I read spider man in the 90s), Im hoping it won't make much of a diffrence but I do hate it when movies stray too far from there source material.

 

i agree but cmon grace venom. wut was stan lee thinking i rather have the rock be venom at least then theres mucles cmaon oiy

DO u SMELL WHAT THE SYBIOTE IS COOKIN

 

TheJacker, Stan Lee has pretty much 0 say on these films, he's definitely in the far back seat in terms of creativity at Marvel these days.

Movies need good acting, and if they'd cast for muscle rather than acting skills, the movie would suffer tremendously.

Also, since this Venom is based on Eddie Brock Jr, far from a roided up freak, it pretty much doesn't matter if Topher Grace isn't pushing Mr Olympia standards.

 

I'd rather see Red Forman than Eric Forman. Robocop > Spidey 3.

 

yes red foreman and when is eric going to write that book (quotes hyde Things my dad threatened to put in my ass. chapter 1 his foot)
