The Dark side of Spiderman



Our friendly neighbourhood Spiderman. The superhero with the spider senses fighting crime. Every kids' hero.
Or not?
Spiderman 3 is loaded with a whole new dark side to our superhero who is up against Sandman and Venom.
Are we ready for his dark persona?
May 4th.

Will it blow us away like the previous 2 movies? Lets wait and watch.

who's your favourite superhero ?

gravity said...

Spiderman yea.. but i really love Phantom! The comics are amazing!! my Dad used to read them and then my sis and i got curious and i started reading them.. very mysterious and there's always some baddies to bust and the villian gets nastier and more powerful each time.

Spiderman is more fun and young kinda comic. Heroic

Never been into superman but i watch smallville! ha ha atleast used to until they stopped showing it on tv. I found superman very formal. i dont know..

Used to watch He-man cartoons also!
Flash Gordan bla bla..

I hope they make a real cool movie with phantom! will totally make my day.

gravity said...

I am not a fan of goody-goody heroes. Makes me retch. What i like, are the dark brooding psychotics, who do good things, not out of choice, rather out of compulsion or a twist of fate.
The anti-hero, with more flaws than good qualities.
Batman (the comics, not the movies. the movies suck.), Spawn, Marv in sin city, and so on.

arent you a baddie! ha ha.. Well i'm for peace and goodwill. And i dont like "accidental" goodwill. it has to come from the heart. Guess we all like our comics in our own way.

Ryan said...

Woah..batman <--->dark brooding psychotic doing things out of compulsion??????
ha ha..dude /girl....of course i know u know about batman but i guess some misconception might be there...batman does what he does because of what happened to him.....he cud have chosen to just be away from crime too but then he wanted to surmount his fears....again..his choice...i seriously am against "out of compulsion"..

Are you seriously denying that Batman has a dark side? Have you even read Batman? He is not George Clooney wearing a nipple suit.

Ok, so in the earlier comics, he was a normal candyfloss hero, but considering that the earlier comics were in the 1940's or something, i doubt if you have come across them.

Batman really came of age once Frank Miller (sin city) and Alan Moore (League of Extraordinary gentlemen) took over the franchise. And this is the version that im sure you would be familiar with (assuming you're not 50 years old).

In this his character is more of a vigilante, brooding, unstable and brutally violent. The Christian Bale movie came close to this depiction. I mean, he is called the 'Dark Knight' for a REASON.

As for the compulsion, i was referring to Spawn.

I'm sorry, Alan Moore wrote 'Constantine', not 'The league...'

why bother about some comic book superhero when our own superstar "thalaivar" is gonna rock all over the world on May 17th ..... the producers of spiderman have got exactly 2 weeks to make all the money they want to :D

gravity said...

Misunderstanding can kill! :P oops

Apologies!

The world is saved! (lousy i know.. bla)

Ryan said...

yes i know a bit about batman history and am not completely a dunce....
stan lees books i have come across and yes i loved the batman begins more than the prev batman movies....

again yea he is the dark knight....but he is not compelled....he jus wants revenge and so one leads to another and he starts fighting villains..they wont leave him alone..
as for unstable and brutally violent..NO..

he is trained and i don't know a more organized superhero than batman....

Spiderman3 movie sucks!!!! i mean its got dull action, no big time effeects...nothing gr8...seemed like any other average movie...dint have a superhero touch to it...the dark side of him could be soooo much cooler but they messed it up...worst is the end..full bullshitting with emotional talks...spidey is superzero now!
