Spider-Man getting a reboot.

Insider2000

I just enjoy the movie ….

Not gonna start analyzing how every single human being can react differently, and never have given that scene any thought (which I am happy about, because I can enjoy more movies that way) They reacted positively. Good enough for me. One person trying to take a photo would've just ruined the movie and slowed down Octo's arrival. Awesome movie.

People are so touchy years after a movie is released ...

If you liked the movie, then like it. I don't hate Spider-Man 2 for doing that scene. I don't even hate Spider-Man 2. However, people are freaking out about Spider-Man showing his face in the new movie to a little kid as he's about to die a horrible death in car, yet the subway train scene was PERFECTLY acceptable.

Look. I admit I'm not the biggest fans of the past Spider-Man movies. I didn't like Tobey as Peter. I really, REALLY didn't like Dunst as Mary Jane. But I'm not about to tell people what they can and can't like.

However, I AM going to see far more valid reasoning for complaining about a movie that has been out for nearly a decade, rather than complain about a movie that hasn't even hit theaters yet.

@Kaiolino:

MAYBE the people in the subway realised that any villain could just stomp over Manhattan if Spidey was scared away/arrested because of his revealed identity. It's not like the comics where there's 2500 other heroes in NYC.

Just a thought.

People aren't that smart sometimes. It's a good thought, but I have a hard time believing it. Again, that didn't ruin the movie for me.

I didn't 'HATE' Spider-Man 1 or 2.

@RobbyBevard:

To be fair, in the comics, Spidey's mask gets a lot of expressive play that a real mask can't do, a lot of artists have him able to blink, squint or narrow his eyes for dramatic effect, which… on a real mask they just couldn't do.

Hehehe…one of the best parts of Batman: TAS back in the day was how emotive his Glowing Eye Triangles were.

Did you like Willem Dafoe as Green Goblin and Albert Molina as Doc Oc?

Hekti

I really liked Doc Oc in Spidey 2. For the villains in 1 and 3 … don't care much about them.

Robby

Dafoe was perfect as Norman Osborn. PERFECT.

And then he put on the power ranger's mask and all credibility went right out.

TLC

Dafoe hammed up his performance too much. Though you can't blame him given how stupid his costume was. Albert Molina was fine.

Do you blame him for that, though, or the costume department?

I agree and disagree. Dafoe was perfect HELL YES. But I don't knock the power ranger helmet. Comic book movies aren't going to look like the comic books bro. I'm sorry but they just aren't. I was glad they didn't fuck up the Spidey costume. (Oh and look at what they did now.) Anyway, William Dafoe as the GG was so epic that even with that humiliating costume he sold it. You have to give the devil his due.

Molina as Doc Oc on the other hand…, my god that was just terrible.

Norman Osborn is a pretty hammy villain though.

Robby

The costume department, obviously.

But he could have looked at it and gone "…Really?"

His name is Alfred Molina:happy: And I thought they were both ok. I actually liked Dafoe more, he just seemd nicely threatening, while Molina was a little too far off from the comics. Thats more the writers fault, I guess. I loved how Doc Ocks mechanical arms were done though.

Regarding the Spider-Man TAS debate, I actually preferred it to Batman TAS, which I only watched occasionally, when i was a kid. But hey, can you blame me, on the one side you have this flashy, colorful cartoon filled with action, on the other one you have this kinda dark and gloomy show thats all mature and adult and I was, like, seven. Of course, now I know which was the better show and have to agree about some of the faults of Spider-Man TAS.
There is one thing about the show that already pissed me off as a kid though, Mary Jane seems to be thrown into another dimension by the Green Goblin, but then she somehow comes back to life but then we find out she is just a clone of the real Mary Jane and it`s never, ever resolved because shortly after, the show ends. What the hell? Can anyone here tell me if the show was abruptly canceled or something because that ending just pissed me off. It also kinda freaked me out, because I was so worried that the real MJ was dead or something.:sad:

Then he looked at his check and played a power rangers villian.

My thoughts exactly.

I loved him as the character, thought he did a fantastic job capturing the crazy, but that costume was horrendous.

I still don't understand why they couldn't just go with the costume from the comics. It might be strange, but that's one of my favorite villain designs of any series.

William Defoe was hilariously awesome. I liked him as the Green Goblin. He was just the right amount of insane, and he actually managed to be pretty freaking scary. As everyone else said, his costume was god awful. He was hammy, yes, but all three movies were hammy. Now, I like hammy, but I kind of felt betrayed by that fact with these movies. I'm not asking for Spider-Man movies to be dark, but I kind of felt like they could have been taken more seriously. I never felt like there were any risks in the movies, namely since I didn't care what happened to Mary Jane (and I love Mary Jane).

I thought Alfred Molina as Doc Oc was…okay. He LOOKED like Doc Oc, almost DEAD ON. That's what was awesome. However, he was bizarrely hammy at unneeded times. Plus, I find the whole..."the tentacles talk to him" thing to be ridiculous.

To their credit, they tried it first and thought it looked stupid.

And I agree that's all wrong, because they didn't try very hard and that take looks terrible. (Wrong shade for one thing, and it doesn't need the bug eyes or giant ears at al, and the cap not being pulled down makes the forehead look huge. The V is important.)

Which is why you then do this instead.

Or this.

Red Skull in the Cap movie suffered a similar problem. The red was too bright, too smooth. It looked like a weird mask instead of a textured, red skull. How they could do that amazing skeletor makeup in the 80's and not match it with modern effects, I just dunno.

Yeah, that just looks silly. I don't want to say "needs snout to look right!" but the middle they've gone with a bigger than usual mouth just looks goofy. Makes him look like a monkey or something.

Conekiller

I honestly think, if they'd just added a tattered dark-purple tunic to the existing (power rangers) Goblin, it would have looked fine. But I can understand them not wanting to have to do flowing cloth physics in CGI back then.

Really emoting the face with the dorky grin aren't we, Marc Webb?

Satsuki

Eh, it's not so bad. It looks creepy, which is what counts, I guess.

But I'm always expecting him to be wearing a tattered lab coat.

Riddler

Didn´t he wear one in one of the trailers or was that my mind playing tricks on me?

Consensus is that, since its not on any of the merchandising, they added a brief bit where he's wearing a coat after all the fan backlash so they could leak that screenshot. But since he's not wearing it in any of the other footage or promo material, it seems like a brief and minor concession. (Plus that shot is from the back so as to not show the face and imply more snout…)

I see! Thank you!

Nobodyman

It could be that that's the scene right after he turns into the Lizard, and he ditches the lab coat for the remainder of the movie.

Robby

Screenshot from the VIDEO GAME. Still not labcoat-ey or like the classic design at all, but looks like a lizard at least.

As far as i know that isn't lizard in the video game. It's Iguana if i remember correctly … though i don't know anything about that villain. They probably just wanted an enemy that is similar to Lizard.

I am still anticipating this movie highly, more so than DKR even. I believe it'll be better than the Raimi trilogy, or at least hope so - and that people will like it more than it because they didn't expect much. Well, here's to hoping.

he does talk briefly about the after credit moment in the 3rd or 4th paragraph so watch out.

LUFFY1fan

Yeah I heard about the after credit's scene. Won't spoil it but a villain from the last trilogy of films is teased.

Kaboom

This is, I suppose just as much Spidey related as it is vidyagaems related. But a demo for the 3DS version of the Amazing Spider-Man game went up on the North America eShop yesterday. I'm kind of glad I got to try it before I buy it, because the game is pretty mediocre. I'll probably wait for it to hit the $20 shelf if I ever really want to get it.

Kaiolino

Gee, I wonder who's in the post-credit scene with all the Oscorp logos flying around in the trailer.

I just hope Emma Stone isn't thrown off a bridge in the sequel. =(

It's a hand-held spider-man game when were these games ever good if at all?

A few of the side-scrolling GBA/DS ones were pretty good, or so I hear.

Mr. Zoro

I remember Spider-Man 2 for gameboy advance had a really bad attempt at traveling in Manhattan by trying to make it sandbox style with 3d graphics (not the "eye-popping" 3d. Like N64 3D).

Here's the full car jacking clip.

Unrequited

Someone probably already posted but,

Now I've seen pretty much what I've wanted. Filmed at my old school. Gonna end up yelling various things like "Hey guys remember when we sat there!" or "Check it out that's my locker!" like a doofus if I go see it.

Dude, the main chracater is a total douche. Not the good kind. Well okay, I liked the car scene because I'm a sadistic jerk and had a good time seeing him pick on the car-jacker but…he feels like a villain. I realize this is probably before his uncle bites and he stops being such a douche but...geez, there's not knowing better and there's bordering on downright psychotic. This Spidey feels like if Peter had been fused with the symbiote.

Also

Nitpick 1: The music during the game was awful.

Nitpick 2: How the fuck did Spider-man get inside a locked car. No, really how the fuck did he get in? Was he waiting the entire time, did the other driver really not notice him, can he phase through matter?

I think he'll realize the responsibility thing with Connors becoming the Lizard.
I think the music is okay. That part was supposed to be light-hearted, so the music was silly and light-hearted.
Maybe he jumped though the window of the car? Assuming one was rolled down?

@Sniper:

Light-hearted is fine but that music was like something you'd find in a bad children's movie. It was so obnoxious and grating. It totally didn't fit the tone of an action movie suited for teenagers. More like what you'd find in a bad John Hughes movie.

@Sniper:

Maybe he jumped though the window of the car? Assuming one was rolled down?

Yes, the driver of a car that bought a state of the art security system that needs a computer to break into would leave his window open. And the car-jacker didn't notice this open window. Also I looked at the clip again, none of the windows were open.

These are just nitpicks, don't make or break a movie in any way…but they're not encouraging signs.

Kaiolino

Yes, Spider-Man is a douche. The lack of that aspect of his character in the Raimi movies is what you've been complaining about for a decade. Don't start now about how it's too much.
