This movie just looks awful. I will not be seeing it in the movie theaters. There is just something about it that it has too much of a Twilight flavor to it. The first thing that automatically turned me off to it was that it is an origin story, and as many have already said, why do we need another one so soon.

How in the hell are you getting Twilight out of that?

This movie looks awesome.
Tobey Maguire was a great Peter Parker in 1 and 2. The writing for the Spider-Man sequences was always bad, and Parker/Spider-Man both were terrible in the third. Where was the smartass comments? In the comics, thugs take just as much of a verbal beating as a physical one. Maguire barely said anything as Spidey, other than screaming for someone to hang on, or yelling in pain. This new movie already seems to have the smartass Spidey in the works. Next off, Spider-Man 3 committed the ultimate sin in my book. The developers took the Spider-Man lore and took a giant shit on it. SANDMAN KILLED UNCLE BEN?!?!? Ohhhh get the F*** out of my face with that bullshit. Lets draw it out in crayon for those who dont know what Im talking about here. Peter Parker used his newfound abilities as Spider-Man for personal gain. Looking out for number one. When it came time to step in and stop a robbery, Pete just stepped aside and let him go. Not his problem. Later, Peter's Uncle Ben is killed by the armed robber that he could have stopped, but didnt. He learned in the hardest way possible that with great power, comes great responsibility. From that point, the guilt over what happened to his Uncle Ben drove Peter to become the superhero known as the Amazing Spider-Man. Now in 3, they come off and say oh by the way, THIS is the guy that really killed your uncle. So basicly, even if Pete had stopped that armed robber, Uncle Ben would still be dead? F*** outta here. There was absolutely no reason to write into the story that Sandman was Uncle Ben's killer. If you cant find a better way to incorporate Pete going Black-Suit crazy on someone, stop making movies about my favorite superhero. Then there was that Green Goblin 2 but on a jet powered snowboard....yeah, whatever. Venom....just...no. They killed off arguably the most popular Spider-Man villain of all time after twenty minutes of screen time, with a damn pumpkin bomb. The same kind of pumpkin bomb that blew up right in Harry's face and gave him a few burns, but its going to kill Venom. Bitch please. Spider-Man 3 was a terrible film from a story, and source material standpoint. It looked okay, and had some cool sequences to watch, but overall that movie was shit. Its like Raimi intentionally fecked it up because Avi Arad forced him into having Venom in the third film and he was pissed off about it. That emo shit...God. This new Spider-Man movie looks like a much needed breath of fresh air. Back to the comic book style personality for Spidey, the mechanical web-shooters, it looks like its gonna be awesome. |
Just to add something else (I swear I'm not trying to pick on this film but) I'm still not sold on the director.
His only film is 500 Days of Summer which I found to be mediocre at best. Believe me, I hope I'm dead wrong cause I want this film to be good but I'm just not feelin the trailers. What I would of loved is having a film where Spiderman is in his late 20s/early 30s and the origin has already been established. And also for the villain, I would of loved to have either Venom or even Carnage. I think they could of pulled this off since cgi/motion capture is so good nowadays(hire the people at Weta who did Rise of the Apes & Gollum from LOTR). Oh and have a more proven director at the helm instead of Marc Webb |
As a long time Spidey fan, I'm excited that the villain is the Lizard. Trying to defeat the Lizard without harming Doc Connor in the process was always a challenge and the Lizard was one of the villains that could match Spider-Man in speed. I just hope they don't make him too "CGI-y".

And I love Emma Stone. |
At first I thought the reboot idea was stupid. And I didn't like this brooding emo-kid as Spidey. But as more trailers have come out, I think he's okay. He doesn't really look the part but at least he acts the part. Tobey did neither. Plus, the 3D might help, as the "webswinging through town" parts should look good. And Emma Stone is a huge upgrade over whatsherface.

But even that aside, there are things about this movie that really make me think it's going to be a stinker. They're changing the whole backstory, adding in the "Daddy Issues" which worked so poorly when they were crammed into the first Hulk movie, and replacing Jameson and MJ with the much less interesting George and Gwen Stacy. Bleh. Lizard looks to be the high point, but I'm even apprehensive about that, seeing the obviously-fakeness of, for example, the claw-raking effects. It just screams a movie that's Green Lantern bad. |
