Third Times The Charm?



I haven't seen Spider Man yet but I am timid as hell. From past experiences (such as the Matrix trilogy) it is really, really hard to pull off a trilogy. I don't even know why movie industries even bother. If the focus of these ventures weren't solely based on making money and was veered more towards the actual content of the movie then maybe -- just maybe people wouldn't walk out feeling cheated, and wouldn't make the decision to stop going to movie because they are so overpriced it could make a baby cry.

If even the main characters and director aren't totally committed to doing ANOTHER installment, does the industry really think they would be able to just replace these characters? Audiences aren't stupid. Sure... maybe some are... but that would be not only a waste of money but waste of film. If Spider Man 3 is as bad as everyone seems to think it is, the producers should have left it at 2 movies, and skipped the whole bad aftertaste.
