Tag Team Matchup: Spidey 3 and Pirates 3 vs Transformers and Bourn Ultimatum

[The Guardian]

Pirates 3 > Pirates 2 IMHO... Spidey 3 was annoying in how they handled the relationships etc. Bourne also made me kinda sick to my stomach with the jerky camera action in still scenes (you expect it in action scenes, not when trying to watch an unmoving object!)

If they were all being released on Blu-ray I would bet on Transformers winning.. however, with the disparity in number of players... I figure Pirates 3 will be the top seller.

I think Transformers on DVD will win hands down.

I'll pick "Transformers" and "Bourne" to win only because of all the raves I've heard from friends who I thought would've known better. I personally rate them as follows:

"Bourne" - great movie I thought
"Spiderman 3" - started well, ended not so well.
"Transformers" - okay decent special effects, lame plot.
"POTC 3" - blech

I'd buy up "Bourne" and "Transformers" IF they had lossless audio tracks. I'll wait for the special edition versions which do include lossless audio - though I might be waiting a while, it may not happen until they appear on Blu-ray.

In bourne i just wanted to be able to see what was going on. That is why i did not like it. I would buy it if it was on Blu

Hate to say it but I bet first few weeks transformers HD DVD will prolly top the charts for a couple weeks...

But, then again I'm not sure what Blu-Ray is coming out to compete with it...anyone know?

[SlapnutsGT]

* AC/DC: Live at Donington (Sony BMG)
* Hollow Man (Director's Cut) (Sony)
* The Invisible (Buena Vista)
* Masters of Horror: Season One - Volume One (Starz)
* Masters of Horror: Season One - Volume Two (Starz)
* The Reaping (Warner)
* Return to House on Haunted Hill (Warner)

Yup shitty blu ray line-up for oct 16th....something good better be announced or we are losing that week

No one in the industry will care one bit about losing a single week, so long as they win Q4 70-30.

Spiderman 3 needs to be trimmed down to no more than 2 hours, and it will be a much better movie. Too much pointless character developement. That scene of Peter Parker dancing in the bar has GOT TO GO. Trim that crapola of him dressing as a bad boy and strutting. I hope for a directors cut.

Sure, character development of Venom was weak, but I waited my whole life for Sandman and Spidey on the big screen. It was a hit with me in that sense. I can't wait to see them all on blu-ray.

Couldt agree more. I am actually waiting for a good fan edit of this film and it might actually be worth watching. Those scenes of Peter were so bad that I was actually embarassed for him while i was watching it. Me and my girlfreind just looked over at each other and started laughing at how horrible it was. They also have to get rid of the scene on the bridge where Mary Jane tells him she is seeing someone else and he like totally breaks down. It might be the worst crying scene I have ever seen in my life. Botom line is the movie had some great scenes but it also had some absolutly horrid scenes and ultimately those horrible scenes ruined the entire film.

I also think the entire Venom storyline was totally wasted. That could have been one of Spidermans most interesting enemies to put on the big screen and they totally ruined it. IMO he shouldnt have even been in this film and they should have just concentrated on Goblin Jr and Sandman. In the end it was Venom who suffered the most in this script and he was alays my favorite villain in the comic books. What a waste.

Wow, imagine the deleted scenes we will see in the blu-ray extra's. Some of that bridge scene could be salvaged. With the proper cuts, it could tell a different story. I'm still going to be in awe when I see them on blu-ray. and hope that awe will mask some of the crapola of Spidey 3.
