Parker screwing with Flash's ego in a lighthearted scene? I prefer that to the dour emo crap the teaser promised. I'm sorry, Snake. I liked that scene. :shrug:

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

"generic" is the most overused, most generic of terms to describe things nowadays.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

it's not messing w/ his ego that bothers me. that's fine. It's just...showing off of his powers, the girl's bubblegum pop, the music, and the glass shattering. Just felt predictable.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

People complain about how dark the movie looks and then when they are shown a light-hearted scene they still complain. There is just no pleasing some people. :lol:

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Predictable, yes. But amusing nonetheless. ANd I apreciate the lighthearted flayfullness of the scene. That's the Spider-Man I grew up with. Not the Twilight Redux that was promised in the teaser.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

It's overrated. Also, emo and hipster.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

^ I must admit I had to look up hipster in Wikipedia to find out what the hell it means today.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I am a fan of Andrew Garfield so I am looking forward to this. /ducks.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

That scene doesn't make me feel great, either. I thought the music was corny, but I could almost get over that if not for the stupid dunk/backboard shattering/bubblegum popping trio.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Man, this movie's shit! Right guys? Fucking terrible!

Look at his hair! Just look at it!

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

God I hate sports scenes in movies. Parker's traveling while bulldozing Flash like a running back? Is it so hard to make Peter break his ankles while dribbling and throwing down a tomahawk? It looks so outlandish. And yes, I hate everything about this movie.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

So, is it fair to assume that those who liked the previous movies are dead set against this one, and those who didn't care for the first three (me) are giving it a fair chance? That about right?

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

So, you'd rather they use the electronic music they're using for the previews? It's a traditional, orchestral score from James Horner... I would think that at least would be the one thing fans of the first three would be thankful for.

We can assume you won't be wasting your time and money on this film right?

Great clip!

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

They should've went balls out and had Daft Punk score it. Shit, try and take it as far away from the traditional Spidey mythos as they can.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Peter and Flash competing against other isn't against the traditional mythos at all. Heck, in one of the earliest ASM comics they got into a boxing match against other.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Yeah, but parker didn't go all LeBron on a trampoline on Flash. He just knocked him silly with a flick of the wrist.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

The music sounds as if he's Harry Potter first discovering how to use a wand.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

BTW, thats my favorite ASM mag right there.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Wait...I read that one in the Essential Collection. During their boxing match, everyone thought Peter was being a chicken because he was dodging Flash's punches so fast that it appeared like he was cowering. But then when Flash's crony later grabbed Peter's arm he felt that it was hard as steel.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Really? There's nothing about anything I've seen that makes this movie come across as dark to me. It's looked like pretty light-hearted from the get go.

I'm with Snake, didn't care for that scene either. I don't understand why he's trying to show off like that.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

The two most common complaints are that every action scene seems to take place at night time and that the police are always hounding Spidey. So a lot of people compare it to being "dark" like Batman.

While the comics generally always take place during the day, I don't think the movie is purposefully trying to mimic the darkness of Batman, but rather that it is just trying to be more "realistic" in the regard that criminals tend to be more active at night. Spidey doing the majority of his web-slinging during the day just "realistically" doesn't make much sense. Also, despite the more colorful playfulness of Spidey, the police constantly hounding him is indeed true to the comics. Especially after the deaths of the Stacys, the police wanted Spidey for their murders. The only real difference is that in the comics Captain Stacy always supported Spidey, but in the movie it seems the reverse is true and Stacy is leading the police against him.


Well to be fair we didn't see the events leading up to that scene. Its likely that Flash was picking on Peter with his usual "Puny Parker" routine and Peter decided to fight back.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I don't like my shit lighthearted. I haven't laughed in years. I like my shit serious. Like the Dark fucking Knight. Tight and right.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Wow, that was an awful clip; the ending was very cliched in the teen-oriented form, like a montage you'd see in an MTV/WB/ABC Family scripted-drama. And that was a bad choice of score by Horner even though the score montage from earlier had some very good work.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

In my case, I enjoyed the first two (although I find the second to get worse with each viewing) and hated the bloated third film. When I saw the first teaser, I hated what I saw and quickly dismissed the new film. The goomba face of the Lizard (don't really give a shit about his dick or lack thereof) didn't help either. But the later trailers and this clip show a lightheartedness that a Spider-Man flick needs.

Yes, Peter has issues but those didn't all manifest overnight. He was a kid and enjoyed the new abilities that being bitten by the spider gave him. It wasn't until Uncle Ben's unfortunate passing that Peter sobered up with regards to the use of his powers. So I'm guessing that scene is long before Ben bites it. They're just giving Peter more time to have fun being Spider-Man before it all turns to shit.
