at the black crotch.

More silly looking spy shots. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/48353

Looks like a porno shoot

Your Very Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

You know times are tough when you see Spidey selling himself off as a drugged up prostitute.

Why, why, WHY do they have to screw up the costume? WHY?!?

SPIDER-MAN 3 is looking better every day...

Spider-man 3 will never look good.

This movie could be hardcore gay porn and still be better than Spider-man 3.

I'd take Spiderman 3 over hardcore gay porn any day.

seriously? they were rehearsing a stunt. fuck i hate the internet.

I can't believe I am one of the most optimistic members of this forum about this movie, considering how much I loathed 500 Days of Summer. But I guess people here will get their panties in a twist over anything.

I have no opinion whatsoever. Well, that's not true. I do like that they're doing as many practical stunts as feesably possible.

I'm indifferent. Nothing about the production, casting, and early shots have been particularly favorable, nor particularly bad to me.

I hate the costume so far.

Although I agree it might look fine in motion on film.
One thing really bugging me is the sprayed on muscle on the legs and on a couple other parts too.

The photos look fine to me. You can't judge a movie based on stuff like that. It's raw footage. It usually looks pretty silly. Just a bunch of images with no context. I see nothing wrong with the costume, though I do prefer Raimi's.

The real problem is that starting from scratch at this point in the game is ridiculous. We got two great movies from Raimi. The third was, admittedly, a misstep. But you don't scrap the whole thing because of that. You do your damnedest to make sure the fourth returns to the standard set by the other two.

Batman was ripe for a reboot. He started strong in 1989, but took a hit in 1995 and then died painfully in 1997. By the time Nolan came to him in 2005, people were more than ready for a new vision.

The last of the original Superman films was in 1987, and it was a bomb. Superman Returns was an attempt to revive him, and even though I thought it was excellent, it wasn't a big hit. Singer leaned too heavily on Donner's work, and audiences didn't care for what he gave them. So we've not had a well-received, let alone beloved, Superman film since 1978.

This new take on Spider-Man will be plenty good. No one seriously doubts that. We can complain about costume changes and web shooters, but when everything comes together on the big screen, it will entertain. Most important, though, is what the new cast will bring to the characters. If they don't offer anything fresh or particularly interesting, this could fail.

And that's the biggest problem with a reboot of an already successful and current property. The original property is still fairly young. It hasn't worn out its welcome. I'm not connecting with this new Spider-Man because I'm still happy with the old one. It still had potential.

--THX

I'm concerned with how grimey this suit's crotch looks in every pic I've seen of it. Surely I'm not the only one to notice this?

/\ Um, I haven't been looking at the crotch.

"You know how I know you're gay?"
"How"
"You keep looking at Spider-Man's crotch"

/\ That's a goddamn lie.

oh shit....

Jeez, a guy running around in tights would want some sort of protection to the 'nads. No matter how fucking super strong he is.

It's not like I was sneaking a peak of his spidey berries, but the discoloration in that area really stands out. It's like a crotch sweat stain. Maybe the silver slippers are distracting the rest of you from it.

Explain the copious amounts of drool in your Ovaltine.

Well played

In all seriousness, it is probably just a stunt costume, and not wholly indicative of how it'll appear onscreen.

Not sure why there's an assumption that a stunt suit is going to be inferior to the "hero" suit (several people have said that). When they do that kind of thing, it's usually when there's several characters and the ones in the background have less detail. Like, for instance, Orcs had some in fully articulated makeups and the ones in the background just had pullover masks. There's only one Spider-Man and other than a few closeups when he pulls the mask off or otherwise emote, the stunt guy effectively IS Spider-Man. I buy that it will look different when color-graded, and it might be so bright because it is 3-D, but the stunt suits are going to be essentially identical to the main costume.

Official name of the movie is "The Amazing Spider-Man"
