The Amazing Spider-Man (reboot)

[Cheesebeef]

Upon further review, you are correct. Just went downhill from there.

i really liked the second one, but i agree with you on the third. that movie was an epic disaster.

I never bothered watching #2 or #3. I don't know what it is. Mostly, it is Kursten Dunst I think. And something about Doc OC just wasn't right to me. Something about the whole thing wasn't right to me.

This new one might be okay, but the haircut playing the lead is a bit to Hayden Christianson baby vader to me.

that's too bad. the second one was better than the first. I liked Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborne, but wasn't crazy about the Green Goblin. Alfred Molina was great as Doc Ock.

AM was too pasty or something. I think the whole thing just wasn't villiany enough. Kind of like my reaction to Iron Man. I guess I am too old or something.

I think that's my problem too.

That 1st person view is horrific. I seriously hope that will not be in the actually movie.

 

[Pariah]

My one beef: It seems pretty dark. Not dark as in noir, but dark as in not well lit. Spider-Man isn't Batman. This movie should largely be shot in "EXT-DAY."

 

[Mulli]

I kinda liked the trailer. Go figure.

Looks "too serious" as well. Spidey is a wise-cracking hero. Didn't get any of that vibe from this trailer...

 

[Cheesebeef]

STUPID.

Complete origin story... looks too dark... where's the fun?

Between the Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises, this movie will get slaughtered next summer... which means we'll probably see ANOTHER reboot of it three years later.

seriously... just switch out actors for Spidey, get rid of MJ, throw in Gwen Stacy and the Lizard and play ball. You don't have to reboot every time there's an actor change. Spidey (and any comic book hero for that matter) is in essence James Bond. Until the series completely runs it's course and desperately NEEDS a reboot, don't do it, especially if the reboot looks like it's going to be exactly the freaking same.

That was my thought as well and High School Pete looked like outcast/outsider Pete not the nerd from the comics.

Indeed.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Indeed.

yup... looked more likely to go Columbine on Flash than Spiderman!

As a comparison, here is a trailer from Maguire's 1st Spider-Man movie:

Shows more action and characters, but does lack wise-cracks.

'Spider-Man' Villain Rhys Ifans Arrested at Comic-Con
Actor playing the Lizard was belligerent, insulted officials and the U.S., police say

http://paralleluniverse.msn.com/comic-con/rhys-ifans-arrested/story/feature/?gt1=28140

"The Amazing Spider-Man" villain Rhys Ifans was arrested and cited for misdemeanor battery for shoving a female security guard before Friday night's Comic-Con panel for the film, police tell TheWrap.

Ifans, who smelled of alcohol, became irate when a member of his entourage was unable to enter the hall for lack of proper credentialing, police said. They said he shoved the guard in order to pass through, and was allowed to participate in the panel, but the guard subsequently made a citizen's arrest.

A spokesman for Sony said that Ifans "deeply regrets the incident."

"He was aggressive and belligerent," Lt. Andra Brown said of the Welsh actor. "He was ... berating everyone from the security staff to the United States of America."

"He was cited and released, which is a non-custodial misdemeanor arrest," added Brown, who said that the San Diego City Attorney will now determine whether to pursue charges. Ifans could be required to pay a fine, or could contest the case before a judge.

"But, according to him, the U.S. sucks and he doesn't want to come back," Brown said.

Gotta say, this poster sucks. Not doing anything to squash my fears of how bad this movie is going to be. Also, isn't this just a re-boot? Who doesn't know the story. How can it be untold?

In this version, Peter Parker is an emo-cutter.

i get the feeling they're gonna try and make this like a brooding, darker Spiderman... which is just stupid. spidey and Supes are Americana popcorn. Their movies should be throw-back movies that makes you feel "gee-wizzy!" leave the dark **** for batman.

Here's something I came across this morning:



I guess the first-person portion of the trailer isn't really all that original. I guess someone played Mirror's Edge back in '08?

How are they gonna make Spiderman dark? He's the opposite of dark, which is why I couldn't stand Toby emo Mcguire and his constant whining and brooding over every little thing.

Spiderman has always been the silliest superhero. Constant catchphrases, silly retorts, funny lines to kids. Why movie studios think they have to turn every superhero's alter ego into a teenage vampire novella is beyond me.

Just playing Devil's Advocate (because I agree that Superman and Spider-Man should never be dark films): Spider-Man is the opposite of dark, but Parker isn't. Parker is bullied at school. Parker is an orphan. Parker has a an uncle that raised him as his own ... but he's dead and Parker blames himself for it. Parker struggles to make ends meat for he and his aging aunt. Parker has a secret that weighs on him.

Parker IS kind of dark. Spider-Man is his release.

I can get on board with that, I just dont think Tobey Mcguire was the 'right kind' of dark for Parker. Way too whiney for me. I'm excited to see what they do with a reboot.

Much better trailer. Still unsure about how this movie will turn out but this trailer was a huge step in the right direction.

Grantland had a pretty decent writeup on the new trailer...

http://www.grantland.com/blog/holly...ailer-andrew-garfield-avoids-police-brutality

Webb will have a pretty hard time convincing a whole lot of people that it was actually necessary to "reboot" the franchise. But who cares? If you like Spider-Man, here’s a new one, and it stars Andrew Garfield being all pissed off, shoving bullies into lockers and beating up cops and drop-kicking lizard-men in the chest, and generally looking like a pretty convincing tortured ass-kicker. Also, at one point Garfield is hanging out shirtless with Stone, so maybe Peter Parker gets laid more this time?

So at this point, which looks better based on trailers alone, the Avengers or Spidey?

My man-love for Whedon wants me to say Avengers, but that Spider-man trailer was really solid.
