Andrew Garfield is pretty good looking. Nice ass, too. :v:

Not too stoked about the movie, though.
I can't wait to see how many people rage over the new web shooters claiming that it's 'not true to the series'. Oh man that's going to be funny.
[QUOTE=nigfops;31239285]Um no, one and two were really good. I hate it when people discount the whole trilogy just because of part three.
Honestly, I was kind of excited for this, but when I saw the trailer I realized how completely unnecessary it is to remake a movie that came out only 9 years ago.
And what exactly gives you the idea that its darker? I didn't see anything in the trailer that looked any darker than what we have seen before, it just looked like the exact same movie.[/QUOTE]
Sorry no.
They were all extremely corny, featuring terrible villains with terrible motivations to do what they were doing.
Everything about them were just so awkward and stupid.
J.K. Simmons was the only right thing the movies had.
edit:
I think I would have found the Spider-Man movies much more enjoyable if it felt like there was any actual chemistry between the actors. Toby MacGuire is so whiny and emo that I just want to hit him, and he's paired with Kirsten Dunst, who manages to jump every scene between looking like a spoiled whore and being as wooden as Keira Knightley.
When are we going to finally get our black Spiderman?
You mean that bit where some black dude was rallying to be cast as an African-American Spider-Man? Hopefully, never
I felt we needed a reboot. Spider-Man 4 couldn't have been any good, because Spider-Man 3 fucked everything up.

From what you said it sounds like you only saw the third one, which I will admit is terrible, but how hell can you say Green Goblin and Doc Ock were bad villians? Ok I'll admit Goblin's suit was a little cheesy, but other than that he was great, and Doc Ock was fucking perfect.

And besides that, we need fresh blood. I read a quote saying that the reason for altering Peter Parker was because nerds really aren't that looked down upon in modern society, and I can vouch for that in my school (where most people really aren't that tolerant of much, so I'd like to think it says a lot).
The one thing that defines Parker isn't that he's a nerd or intelligent (both of which are true and constants of the character), but that he's an outcast. It's just that, when the original character was created, nerd meant outcast. That's not necessarily true anymore. So the new character is a nerd, but in order for the character to be preserved, he must be an outcast. So, what makes an outcast in a modern high school?
Seems they pegged it down pretty well, from my experience.

Doc Ock had no motivation for his actions.
Failed his experiment, wife died so MIGHT AS WELL TRY IT AGAIN only this time BRING THE WORLD DOWN WITH HIM.
Green Goblin was just a psycho and the suit and everything was awful.

The two most important things in the world for Doc Ock were his wife and his life's work, when the two were simultaneously destroyed, the pain was too much for him to bear so he mentally snapped and allowed his tentacles (which were evil) to take control of his mind. He then desperately sought to salvage the one dream he was still capable of rebuilding, his experiment, and since Spidey kept getting in the way, he developed a hatred for him to the point where he went out of his way to have him killed.
As for Goblin, you criticise him for being just a psycho, whats wrong with that? Heath Ledger's joker was just a crazy guy in some clown makeup and he was one of the greatest villians in comic book movie history.
What matters is how well they are portrayed, and in my opinion Willem Dafoe did a great job.
If they focus mostly on the high school Peter Parker and make it like Ultimate Spider-man I would love this movie.

He wanted to create more power no?

[QUOTE=Rammaster;31205641]I like the first person scenes. Reminds me of Mirror's Edge[/QUOTE]
That's because it's a direct rip off.

Just because you hate the actors doesn't make the characters in the movie bad. Only assholes think like that.

I don't get this, how is it a direct rip off? Yes, Mirror's Edge is unique, but you can't say that the trailer ripped it off. Mirror's Edge did not invent the concept of a first person view of a character running. Maybe it influenced it, but to say that it's a rip off is saying that every movie with a shoot out ripped it off from any number of video games.
There's a comparison video of sorts

Jesus Christ it was TEASER.
Teaser =/= Trailer
Fuck this shit, when are they going to make a movie of the BEST Spiderman in history? Yes, I am talking about 60's Spiderman. Suck my dick New York, Fuck the Police. Those lines will be remembered forever. And don't forget the Villain, the Pillow with a boner.

I don't think it'll be in the movie. But I'm not convinced that they didn't use most of movements from the game.
Okay, two complaints, one is about the reboot but I'm not going to go into that. Secondly, this is a Columbia pictures movie while the Avenger films are all Paramount meaning we probably won't be seeing Spiderman in the inevitable Avengers sequel.

All of a sudden any first person view shot with parkour involved means Mirrors Edge ripoff? I joked around saying "looks like a Mirrors Edge movie" to my friend but I didn't take it seriously.
Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and Captain America have been made by Marvel Studios.

Distributed by Paramount.
Which has no significance of whatsoever
I liked Garfield in "The Social Network" but when I heard he was gonna be Spider-Man... I doubt his ability to deliver a good Spidey. Must be because I've grown so attach to Tobey MacGuire. We will see.
[QUOTE=Rong;31265690]Which has no significance of whatsoever[/QUOTE]
Except the legal issues that come into play.
Nothing money wouldn't do when Disney purchased distribution rights from Paramount for Avengers and the next Iron Man
Spiderman COULD be in Avengers.
Disney characters crossed over famously with Loony Toons!
But it's unlikely.

I would love a civil war movie. It would be fucking awesome. But first we need The Green Goblin to be established in Spiderman.
Sony has the rights and I don't think they would be relinquishing it anytime soon

Is Tobey Maguire making a cameo appearance in that car?
I think that's a stunt double.
