The Amazing Spider Man trailer

[Deberg_1990]

[luv]

Went to see this tonight. IMAX 3D. I liked it, but I'm too unfamiliar with the comic to do any comparisons.

[mr. tegu]

Here is my dilemma. I see there are mostly positive reviews about this movie, but I was never really expecting to go see this movie in the theaters for various reasons. I was just planning on waiting until it came out to rent. Now I went to see Prometheus in the theater, in IMAX 3D at that because of the reviews on here for it being worth it for its great visuals...however, that movie was certainly not worth the extra money for IMAX 3D and was not really worth seeing in the theaters. I was greatly dissappointed as the story/plot was just silly and in general not very good. So am I to expect this movie IS actually a good movie worth seeing in the theaters?

If you like Spider-Man and would like to see a pretty good movie about Spider-Man's origin and a story about the origin of the Lizard, go see it.

Its a comic book film. Watch it as a comic book film. If you do that, you'll enjoy it, but if you park your ass in the seat with your "just gimme a reason to shred this movie on CP when I get home" glasses on, then yeah its a waste of your money.

Who wouldve thought so many people would get such a big bug up their ass over a few cranes? Seriously, I lol'd.

Not saying I didn't really like the film, but it wasn't immune to the cheese factor.

You actually believe those instances youre describing, compare in ANY way, to Raindrops keep fallin on my head, The Power Ranger reject, or the electric slide?

Gimme a break. The crane sequence doesnt even qualify if you were awake during the film.

Spoiler!

The Crane sequence is about the people of New York coming to the aid of Spider-Man. Could he have made it to Oscorp without them? Sure. Probably not as fast, and Marc Webb is quoted as saying that when he thought about how he would shoot it, he wanted it to be more realistic and use the pendulum swing. This was a way he could do both the more realistic swing, and have the city help out. If you look at Pete's earlier swinging in the movie, theres no way any intelligent person wouldve expected to see a Pro Webslinging sequence. Hell man, he even shows what a noob he is by MISSING the first crane he tried to swing from. The crane sequence was cool in my book. With the rookie status of Pete as Spider-Man, and the shape he was in, it was perfectly believable that he was not going to make it to Oscorp in time to stop Connors without those cranes.

Spoiler!

The scene is basically a jailed Connors having a conversation with an older gentleman (lurking in the cell's shadows). Said gentleman revealed his plans to go after Spiderman, to a displeased Connors. Supposedly it's a prelude to Green Goblin...

Spoiler!

It's just a scene with Conners and a guy you can't see at all. He asks Conners if he told Peter the truth about his father, and Conners says no and tells him to leave Peter alone. You can't tell anything at all about who it is, but it seems unlikely to me that it's Norman Osborne.

Thank God! From all the positive reviews of this film, this isnt harped enough. When Spidey 3 came out with emo spiderman, everyone complained. I was puzzled because Spiderman was ****ing silly as hell. Like eye-rollingly cheezy. I hated them. I was hipster about it: "I hated spiderman before it was cool.

After hearing the script writer was fired from this movie before it was finished, I wrote it off. But the idea of a snarky, darker, no cheeze Spiderman has me interested. I may waste an afternoon matinee on this.

[Deberg_1990]

The Emo Dancing and raindrops never bothered me much. Thats was just Raimys quirky style (Which i happen to like).

But i can understand why it pissed off alot of comic fans.

This new guy Webb, sounds alot more like a conventional director.

[Red Brooklyn]

Raindrops was fantastic.

The "emo" (god I hate that ****ing term, in general, but especially in application to Spider-Man 3) dancing only bothered me because it was so absurd. And so different from what I was expecting. Peter Parker infected by the Venom parasite should have played differently. It was a bold choice, and I can appreciate that. But I think a better choice could have been made.

[ThaVirus]

I thought it was ok. I, too, had an issue with Parker being so cavalier with his identity. I also thought it was a bit too slow in the beginning with not enough funny to keep us occupied.

Best part of the film was the way Spiderman moved. Very fast, very agile- I thought they did a great job with that, but definitely wanted to see more.

Decent flick but don't think I liked it as much as the Spiderman.

EDIT: 3D for this film is a waste of money.

some scenes were rendered non 3-D, I took my shades off to check due to see how it looked through the glasses and without.

Take what I said with a grain of salt. That's second-hand information.
I didn't actually see it. It initially occurred to me that I should stay, but ran out without giving it a second thought.

Spoiler!

He name-dropped Osborne, but said that was an assumption, based on his read of the scene.

[sedated]

I’m glad everyone is blocking the spoiler info. Does Uncle Ben make it out alive this time?

Spiderman is Asian. Cool spiderman secrets video

[ForeverChiefs58]

The part where he said it took 30 min to put the suit on surprised me. Who knew? I guess I don't have a lot of experience wearing tights.
