Gross plot.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Here are some more original synopsis ideas for future sequels and reboots:

"The Amazing Spider-Man" is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance – leading him directly to a zoo run by Sergei Kravinoff (Vladimir Mashkov), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Kravinoff's alter-ego, Kraven the Hunter, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

That plot makes Spiderman 3 sound like Casafuckingblanca.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

So if this movie totally blows is Sony going to re-boot it again in 5 years ala Hulk/Incredible Hulk? :lol:

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

No Richard and Mary Parker as CIA spies killed by the Red Skull = No sale!

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Will join forces with WB and Fox for SuperBatHulkFantasticX-Man.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

If anything I give them credit for compressing the entirety of Hulk in the opening credits of the reboot. :lol:

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

What's even funnier is that the opening credits sequence of the reboot is composed of the remainder of about 20 minutes worth of flashbacks that were supposed to play throughout the movie.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

yeah.

I'd still like to see the Norton cut, man. They took out some (IMO) pretty good scenes that would've fleshed out the plot more. Also...the original opening to the film would've been a great way to start off w/ Bruce Banner.

How many did you buy?

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Aw man, that sounds bloody terrible... There's a reason Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's original 8 page origin story has lasted 50 years, y'know, no need to add all this stupid conspiracy crap to it.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I guess my question is we were expecting some dark, brooding comic book film or a serviceable feature that re-told Peter Park's Spider-Man origin?

I feel the original film from only 10 years ago did that just fine. This sounds like a film that's being geared as more of a "fun for the whole family" type of movie which is great but I guess I'm confused as to what I was looking forward to. Did I want an indie Spidey since Marc Webb was directing it? Deep rooted psychological thriller? Given he's in high school in the film I guess I just don't know what I was really expecting.

Most of the crap coming out shouldn't be surprising me.

From comingsoon.net;

Only U.S. cities are Los Angeles and New York City. :(

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I tip my hat off to you.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

When's the last time you read a comic? His origin has been revised several times since then.

Anyway, Richard and Mary Parker working for OsCorp isn't nearly as bad as them being secret CIA spies that were killed by Red Skull, and Stan Lee did write that...

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

And that wasn't nearly as bad as them coming back to life but then turning out to be robots.

``The Amazing Spider-Man'' dropped in on hundreds of fans Monday.

Sony Pictures teased the latest incarnation of the web-slinging superhero, which doesn't arrive in U.S. theaters until July 3, at preview events held Monday at movie theaters in 13 cities spanning the globe, including Mexico City, Berlin, Rome, Paris and Moscow, with the cast and filmmakers appearing in Los Angeles, New York, Rio de Janeiro and London.

The event began with the debut of the 3-D full-length ``Amazing Spider-Man'' trailer, which will hit theaters this weekend and debut online Wednesday. The trailer featured footage of Andrew Garfield as a charmingly awkward Peter Parker being bullied at school, testing out his new web-slinging gadgets and battling the villainous Lizard high above New York.

``I think there are a lot of things from the Spider-Man canon that haven't yet been explored cinematically,'' said director Marc Webb in Los Angeles. ``This movie really starts off with Peter Parker and his parents, which is something we've never really seen before, and I think that was something we were all really interested in exploring as filmmakers.''

Garfield, who appeared in New York, said Spider-Man is more than just a character. He's a symbol that was once portrayed by Tobey Maguire and now by himself, and he hoped the next person to play the crime-fighting superhero would be a ``half-Hispanic, half African-American actor,'' referencing the latest incarnation of the character in the comic books.

Emma Stone, who plays love interest Gwen Stacey, told fans in Rio de Janeiro that Stacey and Mary Jane Watson, Parker's girlfriend portrayed by Kirsten Dunst in the previous films, are ``polar opposites,'' while Rhys Ifans said in London that his character, Dr. Curt Connors, who becomes the Lizard, has ``a very complex and emotional'' link to Parker.

After the cast addressed fans, Webb unveiled extended 2-D footage from the film peppered with music from the Rolling Stones and Coldplay. The scenes included Parker asking Stacey out on a date, Spider-Man humorously blasting a car thief with webs and the one-armed Dr. Connors telling Parker that ``your father and I were going to change the lives of millions.''

I'm in.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I'm in it for Leary and Stone but to be honest I disliked most of what the trailer showed. Will it be better than the last Spidey film? Most certainly. Am I going to be there day one to see it? Only if I'm bored that day.

After watching it again I think I just don't care so that pauses in the trailer for some the awful dialog. The scene in the back of the cab, Leary's unitard comment and Emma saying she's in trouble all seem out of place for me.

Anyway I'm always the person who likes the less popular superhero films. I enjoyed Green Lantern and disliked most of Thor. I also enjoyed the Fantastic Four films and couldn't get into Captain America. I'm obviously a poor critic.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Let's see...

A director whose prior qualifications is a hipster romcom.
A lead villain design cribbed from SUPER MARIO BROS: THE MOVIE.
A lead actor who always sounds like he's on the verge of crying.
All of the above in glorious 3D.

I've loved Spider-Man since the age of three, but that trailer is a boring mess and with the above factors, I have zero interest in this crap.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

*whew*

I really figured I'd get shit for my comments LOOONG before someone else stepped up to agree this looks less than....amazing.

Looked awesome, I'm in.
