Sam, Please make "Spider-Man" an EPIC, the Origin of...

Sam & team,

The worst thing about a comic book movie is when they are:
1. too short
2. not enough character background development
3. no EASILY IDENTIFIED THEME SONG

Superman, Star Wars, Jaws, Batman all had identifiable Theme Songs. X-Men did not, and that took away from the film.

Superman developed the character and life of Clark Kent/Superman BEFORE WE EVER SAW HIM IN THE SUIT. That was classic.

Batman showed the suit immediately, but did a good job of developing the origin of Jack Napier/The Joker and showing Bruce Wayne's life through flash backs.

X-Men and Jurassic Park III were both TOO SHORT! By the time you got into the movie and wanted it to build-up to a great ending... they were rollling the credits.

Does anyone else feel me on this one?

Actually... There's nothing here that I disagree with, except for that Jurassic Park III movie (I not gonna bother seeing it). I seem to remember some kinda theme to the X-Men movie, although it sounded too much like orchastral background miscellaneous movie music. Not sure though, gotta check again. But in any event, it wasn't an identifiyable theme.

Looking at the list of movies you said had good themes, I was playing them in my head.

But do you think they should write a new theme, or use a variation on the cartoon from the 60's or 70's like the cartoon fron the 90's did?

I llike the Spider-Man theme from the 70's, 80's, and 90's.

The theme from the 70's.... "Spider-Man, Spider-Man. Does what ever a spider can..." is by far the best. I love those words.

I'd like Danny Elfman to create "new" theme, but to keep parts of the original. OR MAYBE JUST REDO THE ONE FROM THE 70'S with a 2002 slant.

The one from the 90's is too recent.

Actually, now that I think of it, I can't remember what the Spider-man and his Amazing Friends theme sounded like... Every time I try, I keep thinking of the Hulk's theme that came on right after. I can recall the others note for note, but not that one.

Anwwho, the 90's version was just a re-vamped version of the 70's theme that they got Joe Perry to do. I think that's his name. The guitar player from Aerosmith. If Elfman was to redo one or the other, the original (70's) would be the logical choice. Who does a remake of a remake? ;-)
