Watched the rerelease yesterday.
The theater was a laugh riot, the movie was a lot funnier than I remember.
I might not be a "better movie" than Spider-Man 2, but it's a more fun and enjoyable movie to watch.

>The theater was a laugh riot, the movie was a lot funnier than I remember.
That was not intentional
What
he's saying people were laughing at it, not with it
>please don't laugh at this Sam Raimi film
>it's not what he would want
Yes it is, we just couldn't accept it at the time because it wasn't the tone we were told to expect
I remember the theater being collapsed with laughter, esp. when Tobey was crying and some guy at the back shouted
>HIS FRIEND JUST FRICKEN DIED!!!
That seemed to trigger another wave of laughter in the crowd
Raimi knows comedy, it was intentional. He gave up any sense of taking the story seriously when the studio forced Venom on him.
>The theater was a laugh riot
Exactly how I remember my experience seeing it in 2007. The whole theater loved it. We were all laughing with it not at it.
Yeah, I remember people clapping at the end in 2007. Normies loved it, only internet nerds hated the movie.
This was the first movie I saw in a theater as a kid and the audience was really engaged. The pills scene with JJ was the most they laughed from what I remember.
>The pills scene with JJ was the most they laughed from what I remember.
Yeah, at the rerelease, every line of dialogue in that scene was getting a laugh from the audience.
>The pills scene with JJ
? I don't remember this.

>current state of Hollywood is so shit that zoomies have to go watch a 17 year old movie to enjoy themselves
Yes and they need to keep doing this
To be fair, even a decade ago I was confused why rereleases weren't more of a thing, especially in slow months
Because video rental was still a thing, which made re-releases obsolete in the 90s.
I'm honestly surprised there aren't classic films on rotation at theaters, probably because they'd outperform the new shit
That's exactly what's happening.
some of the most fun I ever had the movies were watching Back to the Future and Ghostbusters when they had an anniversary rerelease
The fact this was considered a shit movie almost two decades ago is insane. Are people's standards too low today or were too high back then?
It definitely wasn't as good as the first two movies.
The first Spider-Man was shit.
Wrong.
i’m sorry about your mental moronation
movies like this come out every month now, but back then the third spider-man flick was a fricking event, so expectations were higher
It's an awful movie

it's like that for everything now, an average action flick from the 80s like Cobra feels way more fun and refreshing than anything released in the 2020s, cinema is a truly regressing and dying artform. It's a good thing there are enough movies from the 20th century to last a lifetime.
there are some legit criticisms of Raimiman 3, but it's much better than most of the slop we get these days. I like it.
Spider-Man 3 was shit and the millennial rehabilitation of bad 2000s media makes me want to eat a bullet.
Please do
This, the audience loved it. I was there. Everyone clapped. A really hot girl in the theater turned to me and said, “anon, this has aged like wine. It’s kino!” I nodded and said, “obviously”
>This was a laughably bad movie in 2007
Spider-Man 2 rerelease made $805k.
every "bad" or mediocre movie from the 2000s is better than almost anything from the 2020s
I watched the A-Team movie today for the first time, and it was everything I hoped for, tons of predictable fun and fan service, had a great time, would watch again
Agreed except pre-2000s. Anything filmed on actual film, with minimal CGI and and no horrible desaturated colour filter feels like a 10/10 compared to anything from the last 20 odd years.
I definitely noticed how good the mise en scene looked while watching fricking A-Team, no joke, the blacks were dark, the actor's skin had actual texture, the colors popped
everything now is flat and bland, both visually and otherwise
