I concur with the majority of reviews about sm3. It isn’t an awful movie, just a huge step backwards from sm2. I left the theater disappointed and longing for what might have been had raimi not cracked up.
I do have one major question. Even on SM 2.1 dvd elfman is saying how great it was to work with raimi and how he understands how important the music is, yadda yadda yadda. I know there was a major incident of some kind that soured elfman on working with raimi…but I’m not sure exactly what it is….Can anyone help me? I’ve tried trolling through years of old posts, but even with search I haven’t found exactly what I’m looking for.
I guess raimi didn’t want to use some of the cues elfman created…that he asked elfman to emulate a style from some other movie? Can someone provide some insight here?
That begs some other questions: why on earth would raimi crack up like that(even on sm2). Is the lack of elfman involvment at the end of sm2 the reason why so much of the music in the movie is taken from sm1?
Sm3 had two things going against it from the start: no elfman and the use of venom as a villian. I had trepedations going into the movie and, unfortunately, they were realized. I can live with a bad flick, but no elfman soundtrack for this movie really kills it for me.
