Venom? Carnage? Electro?....Vulture?! 
 
Find out here! 
 
So, what do you guys think of both the casting and villain choice?

As soon as he was announced as a cast member, I think a lot of people figured he's be playing Kurt. Connors. Hell, even before that it looked like he was going to be in it.

  I feel like I don't want to see this movie anymore.

I am ok with this. Especially since they will not use Green Goblin again.

No Green Goblin is good with me :)
 
SHED

I think Lizard is a good choice. 
I like how he was in the spider-man 3 game in ps3 and i would like to see a similar storyline. 
=]

I <3 The Lizard, so this gets a "super yes" from me!

Can't wait to see the Lizard on the big screen finally!
<--excited

Connors is shed

Nice choice, there is a lot chance for good story development with this.

I never really gave Lizard enough credit until the Torment storyline. 
 
We had Spidey in the sewers / subway with Sandman in 3... but I think it's pretty clear he's at his best doing aerial combat in NYC's skyline... I wonder how or if they'll work that in unless Lizard is not the exclusive villain.

Color me excited. 
 
Though I hope the movie fails, so the rights can go to Marvel in the long run. :p

I love the Lizard

"@Amegashita:
Honestly, I think the Lizard is a good choice.  He can provide a rather simplistic and entertaining plot.  This way, it gives other characters (Brock, Harry, Norman, Gwen, MJ) more time for character development.  The biggest issue I had about Venom (aside from casting) was how rushed the character was.  This way we have more time to care about these characters, so when Brock or Harry turn into a villain, or Gwen dies, we'll care.  That's just my opinion, though.  "

  And I can see what you mean, and I agree with the Venom part, but I'm just not to confindent on the whole Lizard idea.  I'm not seeing all that many ideas with the Lizard that could keep my interest, and when I see a villain I prefer the idea that they could appear later on in the series again as a villain.      Not to mention, the last Spider-Man movie didn't do me any favors in optimism. "

I'm just not seeing the future potential for him as a villain in the future. 

I don't like one time villains, it just feels like a way to get a plot going, but not to keep it contiuing.   

And as for the past movies affecting my opinion, what can I say?  I don't remember the film rights being held by Marvel, and most of the time in recent history, those movies have been horrendous.    

  I'll just wait for reviews before I decide officially whether I want to see it or not     

I do have to agree with Angry Comic Book Critic and Amegashita here. Spidey does have an impressive rougues gallery which is only equalled by Batman's but the problem is which villains can be adaped correctly to suit both comic book fans and those who don't know who lesser villains like Lizard are. Personally, I'd like to see Kingpin, Electro (not in his garish green and yellow costume), Mysterio or Scorpion as villains Spidey will have to face. I like the idea of using the Ultimate universe as inspiration but I hope it's mixed with the traditional version as well. Also i want more time spent in high school in the film.

I just wish they would not use the organic webbing. Having the web shooters not only helps to showcase how brilliant Peter is. But also gives you chances for comedic relief when he runs out of webbing. It be while he is swinging about or against a bad guy.

Lol, Raimi must be pissed. 

" @Lvenger:
How are people supposed to know about the lesser villains if they aren't given screen time? I assure you the majority of non-comic book readers who watched Spider-Man had no clue who Green Goblin was. "

I'd love to see (in movie order) 1: Lizard 2: Scorpion 3: Kraven

about time 
 
I can't wait

I always wanted to see Lizard in live action, I hope they do a good job with it!

Nice. 
Cant wait for crazy sewer fights. 
Still too bad they didnt use rhino(Imax 3D with him running around causin' chaos and throwing cars away+random explosions) or the vulture (Crazy air fights with Vulture vs Spidey vs heli's who think they are both bad Just imaging the 3D bullets everywhere) 
 

a dick move on the part of the studio considering baker spent three movies in a minor role with expectation he would be the lizard.   they should have brought him back even if it wasnt in the same continuity.
i think its a great choice but i think the film would be better with two villains, especially considering that the lizard is not a foe with the intellectual ability to match peter parker.  i hope they anounce another villain, preferably Doc Ock.  
also, i want him to reveal his identity to mj and possibly gwen in this movie because why wait two??
