Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Spiderman 3's biggest problem is that no one seemed to give a shit, about anything.


I'm not a huge fan of the franchise, so my expectations are very low. I hated 500 Days of Summer, but I think Garfield is a capable actor. This is a personal observation, but I find Toby Maguire extremely creepy. There is something very off putting about him I can't quite explain, and it shows through in all his performances. He has an extremely decent filmography (particularly the former half), but i've never been very keen on any one performance of his.

I don't care at all about them rebooting the franchise. It has nowhere to go but up, and Spider-Man 2 gets more credit than it deserves. It's the best of an extremely mediocre series of films. It wins by default.

The origin changes in that there's the introduction to the parents... There's enough differences to make it stand apart from Raimi's films and start a new story.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

You're confusing Garfield with Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Ah, an HD version. Now I can clearly see this film looks terrible.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

While I don't love every aspect of the trailer, I'm still going to see it.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Some aspects I actually like, others I'm iffy on.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I don't know, i actually kind of liked the 1st person part. No way could i take that for every action sequence, but it would be ok for a short period.

But the tone overall - no likey. very Emo. One of the best things about spider-man is the lightheartedness. He's not batman. He uses one-liners in fights.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Do we really need to see the origin story again?

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I have very mixed feelings. Part of me wants to really hate this. But the FP stuff was very cool. I remember the thrill of watching the webswinging sequences in Spider-Man. After years of imagining it in my mind and watching it in cartoon form, to see it in "real" life was amazing (no pun intended). This sequence kind of gave me that same buzz.

I'm gonna watch this no matter what. I won't be able to help myself.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

The first time I saw the FP scenes I thought it was kind of neat, but I think too much of that would give me motion sickness for sure. And in 3D...for get about it.

Still, I liked the trailer overall. I do like the darker tone. I'd rather they didn't do another origin story, but whatever. It is what it is.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

that is the exact game I thought of when watching that scene

Spider-Man: The Dark Bite ;)

this doesn't look dark it just looks stupid, but then the other 3 movies weren't all that interesting either

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I see the word "emo" being thrown around to describe this trailer. You guys do know there's more to emo than just having unkempt hair right? Don't get the "Twilight" similarities either, unless this is about the unkempt still?

Anyways, I absolutely love Emma Stone, was impressed with Andrew Garfield in the Social Network, and I'm one of the few who got into 500 days of Summer very late but absolutely loved it, so I'll see this if nothing else to support those 3 people.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Being one of the people that used the word emo - it wasn't the hair. I couldn't care less about the hair.

it's the depressing vibe; gaunt look (he looks like an addict); the way he's ambling through the hallways of the school; the black hoodie; and of course the general dark tone. It appears to be more than just the "nerd outcast" feel that spidey should have. I get the feeling the guy cuts himself in his spare time.

Hell, i may be confusing emo with goth. i do that all the time. :)

Sad, mopey, misunderstood loner trying to come to grips with a tragic past. C'mon son, thats Emo.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

that cgi first person scene won't be in the movie

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I don't think it looks horrible, but it doesn't look great, either. Then again, many of the superhero movies this summer didn't have great initial trailers. Some got better and better with different trailers (Thor, X-Men), while others got worse (Green Lantern). I will say, though, that Garfield better fits my own preconceived notion of what I think Peter Parker should look like.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

It looks like a TV show.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I hope the score is better this time around. I absolutely could not stand Danny Elfman's score.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

i would laugh if thats the final shot (as it seems like the spiderman series has had the final shot at the end of each of the trailers

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I dunno, I thought the POV shots were pretty badass and could be fun to watch in an extended scene in IMAX or something.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Isn't this going to be in 3D? I'm wondering if that's the "money shot" or whatever for the 3D?
