Marvel Superheroes

Marvel superheroes have charmed children as well as adults the whole world over. Marvel comics have created superheroes that we have looked up to and so will our children and our grand children. Most of these superheroes have not only been depicted in the comic books but have since moved on to TV shows as well as the big screen.
Superheroes like Captain America, Iron Man, Giant Man, Black Panther and the other Avengers have given positive messages to how we can save our planet as well as how we can grow up being patriotic to our country. Other superheroes that from marvel such as the X-Men have shown us how hard it is to grow up when you are different and have shown us how indifference is a bad thing and that people are scared of what is different from them. Basically most of marvel superhero comic books and cartoons have messages and are just plain fun to read.
Several Marvel Superheroes have gone on to become big merchandise for the company such as the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Spiderman, the Fantastic Four, Blade, Daredevil and not forgetting Electra. Superhero action figures as well as plain figurines have been created by the Marvel group for children to play with as well as for keeping if you are a collector. If you are interested in buying the collector items of Marvel superheroes you can always find them online, where you will also find the new and old comics as well as movies and DVD.

Spiderman 3 - Go And Watch It

Spiderman 3 is a movie that probably the entire world has been waiting to come out, because it promised to be a blast. I was one of those who were eagerly waiting for the movie to come out, so I didn't waste any time, and was almost first in line at the cinema waiting to buy tickets. And believe me, this movie was worth it, it was more than a blast, it was absolutely spectacular.
Spiderman 3 further develops Peter Parker's (played by Tobey Maguire) story, and the plot tends to center on the battle that takes place in his soul, everything else evolving around his character. Things seem to be going very well for Peter: the people of New York now love Spiderman, Mary Jane (played by Kirsten Dunst) loves him more than ever, and he's just about to get a full time job at the Daily Bugle. But things will start going down hill very fast, when Peter is taken over by a black alien substance, which amplifies his powers, but also brings out all his negative traits.
On the negative characters plan, we see the development of Harry Osborn (played by James Franco), who becomes the new Goblin, holding Spiderman responsible for his father's death. Next, Flint Marko, who turns out to be Uncle Ben's real killer, is transformed into the Sandman. Spiderman finally manages to free himself from the black substance, but this entitiy soon infects Eddie Brock, who will become Venom. So now Spidey has to face three deadly enemies, and the movie keeps you wondering until the last second if he's going to come out alive. But, as the plot twists and turns, things lighten up. Harry turns to the good side, and helps Peter to defeat the Sandman and sacrifices himself in the fight against Venom, showing a true act of bravery and friendship. The movie ends with Peter and Jane slowly dancing, as the image fades away.
Out of all the series, I think that Spiderman 3 is the one which can be called a masterpiece. I for one liked absolutely everything about it. The movie takes time to develop each character separately, which is a great thing, as we enter the characters minds. And, to add to this, the actors give their best performances, even better than the previous two movies. What is more, the movie manages to blend drama, action and comedy perfectly. I was laughing one moment, almost crying the next, and gasping my hands later on, wondering what would happen next, how would Spidey get out of that situation, and this is what a good movie should be able to do to its audience.
On the whole, Spiderman 3 has shown all the signs of becoming this summer's blockbuster, and, quite frankly, it's managed to leave me hoping that they will decide to make Spiderman 4 too.By Clain Alexandru

Spider-Man 4 heads back to the beginning?


Peter Parker can catch all sorts of villains in his webs, but the one thing Spider-Man couldn’t bring to Sony Pictures was a workable script — and budget — for the $2.5-billion franchise’s fourth installment, derailing one of the most lucrative movie series in Hollywood history.

Less than a week after the studio said it was postponing production on the fourth web-slinger movie over story problems, Sony on Monday pulled the plug on the project as it was being conceived with director Sam Raimi after he told the studio he wasn’t comfortable moving forward with the sequel, originally scheduled for release in May 2011.

Star Tobey Maguire, who has played the arachnid superhero in the previous three “Spider-Man” films, is also bowing out, as is his on-screen love interest, Kirsten Dunst. The studio said it would hire a new star and director and re-boot the movie as a story about Parker’s early life as a “teenager grappling with contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises.” Because Sony is essentially starting from scratch, the studio has pushed the picture’s release to 2012.

The first three movies also made a significant difference to the income at the previously publicly traded Marvel, which is now less reliant on “Spider-Man” earnings since recently being acquired by the Walt Disney Co. Thanks to royalties from Sony as well as its 50% cut of merchandise on 2007′s “Spider-Man 3,” Marvel reported $122 million of revenue.

Sony and the filmmakers have been scrambling for weeks to keep “Spider-Man 4” together, according to people close to the project.

There have been four writers on the sequel. In addition to a draft by Vanderbilt, the studio hired Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire (“Rabbit Hole”) and Gary Ross (“Seabiscuit”) to revise the script. Alvin Sargent (who has writing credits on the last two “Spider-Man” films) then spent the last six weeks trying to pull the disparate screenplays into a cohesive whole.

But neither the studio nor Raimi could agree on the ultimate direction of the script, which was centered on the legendary comic book character’s becoming reinspired and falling in love with a new girl, said people close to the situation. Because the film involves extensive special effects, complicated battle sequences and elaborate sets, Raimi would have had to start shooting in March to make Sony’s proposed release date in May 2011. The director felt that didn’t give him enough time to solve the screenplay problems, said people familiar with the matter.

Time wasn’t the only obstacle. Raimi, who declined to comment, had other concerns. He was unwilling to agree to the budget constraints Sony had set. The studio wanted “Spider-Man 4″ to cost less than “Spider-Man 3,” which was closer to $300 million.

Over the weekend, the parties tried to figure out a way to get “Spider-Man” flying but without success. On Monday morning Raimi called Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures, and Matt Tolmach, a top production executive, and informed them he wasn’t going forward.

The resulting film is expected to be far less costly than the production Raimi had envisioned for his version. Sony wanted to make the picture for about $230 million, which the director thought was not enough given his ambitions.

The movie is being written by James Vanderbilt, whose credits include “Zodiac” and “The Rundown.” The new film, which does not yet have an announced star or director, will be produced by “Spider-Man” veterans Laura Ziskin and Avi Arad of Marvel Studios.

“This is a bittersweet moment for us because while it is hard to imagine Spider-Man in anyone else’s hands, I know that this was a day that was inevitable,” Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures, said in a statement.

“Working on the Spider-Man movies was the experience of a lifetime for me,” Raimi said in a statement. “While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job.”

Spider-Man (Peter Parker)

The bite of an irradiated spider granted high-school student Peter Parker incredible powers. When a burglar killed his Uncle Ben, Peter vowed to use those abilities to protect his fellow man, driven by his uncle's words: With great power comes great responsibility!
