As for Kirsten Dunst, I agree. I don't know what was wrong with her or why Sam Raimi didn't demand more in this film.

I think Portman was kind of stiff in V For Vendetta, and that was at least partly because of her trying to hold the British accent, which always made it sound like she was sighing or out of breath. Why didn't they just cast a British actress? I have no idea.

I think Portman and Dunst have a problem in common with lots of young actresses these days: they all sound like a bunch of 7 year olds, very flat, very lightweight voices. Makes them less appealing and makes their performances seem extra stilted.

Just saw it a few hours ago. I was expecting it to be horrible and find myself hating after reading so many lukewarm (at best) reviews from both fans and critics, but it wasn't as bad as I feared it would be. Still, the film suffers from trying to cram too much in, Gwen Stacy & her dad served no real purpose (that must have been the worse dye job I've ever seen on a naturally red headed woman), Topher Grace was badly miscast as Venom/Eddie Brock (God forbid they hire a real man to play Brock/Venom - even though "Venom" was mostly a CGI effect with Grace's goofball face occasionally lopped onto it), Peter's fling with his dark side could have used more dramatic weight, and on the whole the film really should have had only one villain: Harry as the 2nd Green Goblin. Thomas Haden Church was alright as Sandman but he didn't really appear that much, and the thing with him being the killer of Uncle Ben - albeit the accidental killer - was too much like the Joker killing Batman's parents in the 1989 Batman flick.

I saw the first one on DVD after it came out. Thought it was fun. Saw the 2nd one in theaters, thought it had some great action sequences - and I dug some of the music that played during the end credits - but it felt like it was trying way too hard to top itself and the third one, well, I also saw in theaters and greatly disliked it. I don't know what they were thinking with the effeminate French guy, the Merovingian or whatever the Hell he was called.

Lucas is just a greedy old bastard who's taking advantage of a chance to kick a rival franchise below the belt when the critics choose to criticize it instead of gushing all over it with love. The guy who gave the world Jar Jar Binks - an insult to intelligent life as we know it - has no room to be dissing other popcorn films.

Just saw it. Great flick. Wonderfully violent. $70 some million at the box office I hear. Gerard Butler looks more Supermanish with that physique than Brandon Routh does.

She looks familiar, but her name escapes me. My gut says it's either Julia Stiles or Mandy Moore with bleach blonde hair, but I know that's wrong.

Yeah, he looks like a mish-mash of the classic Aquaman and what you might call the "viking" Aquaman appearance. New Aquaman -
