Which One Was Worse?

I also find it funny how the title just gives complete negative feelings. It doesn't ask which is better, it asks which is worse. That immediately set the tone of the entire thread.

Well I wasn't blown away by either film because Spider-Man 3 was just too damn long and like Dreddz said in a previous topic Spider-Man 3 had too many villians. X-Men 3 on the other hand was bland and uninteresting.

Firstly, Spiderman 3 was more true to the original story. I'd like to point that out, because you're all wrong in your statements that it was inaccurate.

What? You need to get your facts straight here. Venom tries to kill Sandman in the comics, yet they seem to team up in the movie. Theres no other way to look at this other than seeing that the movie butchered what the comics originally told.

Go back and read Venom's origin story (it's widely available now in trade paperback so it's easy to find). The movie stayed more true to the original concept behind the character than every comic that came after that story did. I've said it before and I'll say it again; everything that's been done with Venom since the first story has only served to butcher the character as far as I'm concerned. That movie gave us Venom in his original glory, and I'm eternally grateful to Sam Raimi for having the sense to stay true to that.

When did I say any of that was untrue. Some parts followed the original story well, but the movies story as a whole changed the comics story quite a bit. It left out a whole heap of stuff too, which Im not grateful at all for considering so much of the movie is so irelevent.

I'm not much into superheroes, or comics in general, but X-men films are actually fun to watch. Spiderman is just stupid.

Last Stand. I mean, Spiderman 3 was a disappointment, yes, but I didn't actually feel angry or ripped off about it. Last Stand... I did. It wasn't just not up to the standard of the earlier ones, it was actually outright average. Spidey 3 was still good, just not as good as the earlier ones.

I prefered the first two X-Men movies to the first two Spider Man movies so went into X3 with higher expectations, which Is why I felt more disappointed with that film that Spider Man 3.

That's pretty much how I feel. X2 made me a believer in comic-movie adaptions. I had such huge expectations for X3 and everything just fell flat. There was so much lost potential. I would go as far as saying that X3 actually ruined the first two for me. Considering how much I loved the second movie, I'm going to have to vote X-Men as the worst trilogy ender.

Which is saying a lot, because I really loathe what they did with Venom.

spiderman 3 was just plain boring

And X-Men 3 wasn't boring?
