Captain America Latest News

Wow, I see. I can understand add-libing..but enough creative control to do some writing? That's generous.

Trust me, when I read about what Norton has added for Bruce Banner's character development, it all looked genius. Though in the bigger picture, I can see that it would turn the movie more dramatic than what Marvel may have wanted which may alienate much of the general audience who have trouble appreciating depth in their movie, plus it limited "Hulk's" appearance... So I understand where both were coming from, but the blame is still on Marvel Studios for breaching the contract. They shouldn't have agreed on those terms if they couldn't make the cut, if they weren't being cheap, they could have just extended the movie's length to have included Norton's scenes and not limited Hulk's, though it would be inevitable to push Hulk's appearance farther in the movie's timeline.

That's a personal thing no one will probably know.

Mmm..that is true.

Damn after reading all that..I'm surprised IM2 got finished being produced.

Well that's awesome that he had some great ideas and intentions for the Hulk story then. That's cool to hear..it's just unfortunate **** couldn't work out between them.

Like you said probably making the movie longer would of been the best decision.

The more you know about Marvel the more you know about the way they do things

Avi Arad pushing Raimi to add venom is a known fact to fans

http://themovieblog.com/2007/04/avi-arad-wanted-venom-in-spiderman-3

As he had discussed previously, Raimi added that it was Arad’s idea to add the villain Venom to the mix. “Avi Arad, my partner and the former president of Marvel at the time, said to me, ‘Sam, … you’re not paying attention to the fans enough,’†Raimi said. “‘You need to think about them. You’ve made two movies now with your favorite villains, and now you’re about to make another one with your favorite villains. The fans love Venom. He is the fan favorite. All Spider-Man readers love Venom, and even though you came from ’70s Spider-Man, this is what the kids are thinking about. Please incorporate Venom. Listen to the fans now.’ And so that’s really where I realized, ‘OK, maybe I don’t have the whole Spider-Man universe in my head. I need to learn a little bit more about Spider-Man and maybe incorporate this villain to make some of the real die-hard fans of Spider-Man finally happy.’â€

For those of you who already seen the movie did you look around the at the audience after the lights came up? When I saw it there were kids to older people who probably read the original 40 comics as kids, and I mean a good chunk of the audience. I'll admit that surprised me a little.

Don Chealde > Terry Howard.

^ Seconded

 

[Forever Knight]

Sam Raimi is an idiot if Avi had to convince him to use Venom in the movie.

I'm still in denial that was Venom in Spiderman 3, that was Carnage instead :laugh:

 

[Forever Knight]

I might be the only person on earth who was fine with the Venom we got in the film. He did what he needed to do. I'm sure we would have saw him again had a Spidey 4-5 happened, along with Carnage.

There was a huge mix of kids,people in my age bracket(20s-30s),and older people at the movie.Lots of Captain America shirts as well..

As for the movie itself,it was awesome.I cannot say enough good things about it

Easily one of the best superhero movies I`ve ever seen
