The Amazing Spiderman movie

[RiotZact]

Pretty excited for this anyone else? don't think it will be half as good as the avengers but that's probably because I'm a hardcore spiderman comic book reader so everything they change makes me mad. And I don't think the spiderman story is nearly as movie ready as the Avengers. But it should be good none the less.

Eh, it looks ok. The Spidey movies are good but nothing special. This ones looks the same. I'm predicting the Dark Night Rises the best movie of the year and will sell better then Avengers...

Dark Night Rises is the one to beat...until the Hobbit part 1 comes out!

Not really interested in Spiderman for some reason.

spiderman looked pretty decent


dark knight is going to be the movie to beat this year, although avengers set the bar pretty high from a box office stand point, although not from a story stand point

If I've said it once I've said it a million times, the dark night will be good but I mean there is no reason to believe that it will be much better than Batman begins. Or am I missing something? Take the Joker out of the first Dark night and it turns into a average movie. I find myself just waiting for a Joker scene to come every time I watch it and that's what most of my friends say too. I think in the end Spiderman and the dark night will be on about the same level, maybe the dark night will be a little better but I highly doubt it can out do the avengers.

i found the avengers to be an empty calorie movie.

Here's the new trailer

I like that they are using Gwen Stacy before Mary Jane but I don't like how she knows Peter is Spiderman. In the comics she didn't know and then her dad dies in a fight that spiderman was at so she blames him for her fathers death which creates a ton of emotional conflict. And it seems like Conners actually like wants to be the bad guy but I'm pretty sure in the comics he can't control the lizard and hates that it happens to him. And lastly I can't say for sure but neither of the trailers have mentioned Uncle Ben dying, which would be the toughest one for me to deal with, that's the whole reason that he decides to start being a hero, I don't mind if they change to story lines and stuff but to just totally destroy the origin makes me mad.

On another note I really wish that Disney could somehow buy Sony out of their contract or something because how awesome would it be for spiderman to be meeting a villain for the first time or something, lets say doc ock, and hes on top of spiderman ready to kill him and whack! he gets hit in the head with a shield! Or the avengers are having a hard time with something and Peter Parker happens to be swinging by and gives them a hand, doesn't have to be like the climax of the movie but just a casual meeting in the middle somewhere then they thank him and he swings away. The geek in me would be thrilled!

When I saw the preview for this I thought for a second that I was watching a preview for the first one with Toby McGuire. Didnt they already do this?

Yeah but they fucked that one up so bad they wanted to start again. I'm gonna bet that they will just fuck it up once again and in 5 to 10 years they will re do it once again but with Disney having the rights to it like all the other marvel movies that have came out in the past 5 years, then maybe it will be done well

This got me a little more optimistic. At first I thought the part with the kid putting on the mask was kinda cheesy but I guess that is the type of thing that could work with a little kid like that. One thing that is for certain is that the web action is spot on, looks just like the comics. I really love the part where the lizard is on top of the building and spiderman is on the side of it and he jumps, spins a web and kicks him.

I only saw the first one, but I knew they were very popular, so I didn't understand the reboot either. Further reading revealed that the series was going to continue but the studio couldn't reach an agreement with Sam Raimi, so they just rebooted the series rather than have a different writer/director continue the series. And I can imagine that some of the stars probably didn't want to continue without him as well.

Yes this is correct. I for one am happy though. The second and third Toby movies were so screwed up. If it weren't for the first one being so good the second 2 would have been total failures.
