This movie is going to kick a tremendous amount of rear end. I loved the first one in spite of its flaws and that new costume is loving glorious. I think Electro looks great and Giamatti is perfect for Rhino.

Whatever the gently caress it is that they're going with there, I'm down for it. Edit: His smile belongs on box art for a 1980's supernatural horror film.

I'd absolutely play a Spider-Man dating sim. Decisions like studying with Gwen or partying with MJ, saving up for a motorcycle, picking out yellow turtlenecks for dates.

This is no poo poo the best superhero game idea I've ever seen. It's brilliant. Thwart Shocker's latest bank robbery in time for a date at a Broadway play with MJ. It's loving perfect.

Off-topic but can anyone explain to me why some people disliked the first TASM movie? I liked it and liked Andrew Garfield's portrayal. The action felt more "spidery" if that even means anything - I saw more creative fight moves. The plot is straight-forward too. I always see some weird nerd hatred towards it, so I just wanna know where that comes from.

I just read that one post.quote:Even the most basic attempts at creating a sense of danger would have made a huge difference. Show the lizard/Curt Connors looking at a map of the school area while zooming into his face/eyes, cross cut to Peter Parker talking to Gwen Stacy at the school, cut back to the lizard running through the sewers while speaking out Peter Parkers name in a villainy way, cut back to Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy whose conversation starts to become more intimate when suddenly Peters spider sense goes crazy. Is this is serious? He looks at the camera, sees that it's Parker's, then goes after him at the school. Pretty easy to follow...

I feel its a poorly put-together script that is then extremely chopped up (the ending is a succession of concessions to audience testing). It serves up texture extremely well (Andrew Garfield looks and fights like a Mark Bagley Spider-Man many of us grown up with, he does jokes, Emma Stone is great, their chemistry is amazing, etc) which is why I think people take to it so much. That being said, I think it fouls up Spider-Man basics so bad (Peter Parker would never go "the best promises are the ones you break" that is straight-up vile and the entire opposite of the character) on top of other stuff-it sinks the movie for me. To be fair, a lot of the terrible choices (and subsequent plot-chopping) is a side-effect of being a reboot/wanting to be different from the previous version, which nails the basics better than this movie did.

There is nothing vile about it and it's perfectly within character. Parker, at least in Ultimate Spider-Man, isn't some paragon of virtue. He's not flawless. He has ideals, but he's still just a kid in high school who is put in a lot of situations that dump an unfair amount of responsibility onto him.

He's not doing the right thing no matter what though, he's clearly saying he will break a promise to keep her safe by staying away from her. I think they could have presented that idea in another way, but presented that way, its the opposite of Spider-Man. NOW, that is pretty much how the first movie ended, so I understand those guys going "we have to end it in another way, because we have to be different" and they undoubtedly had focus groups telling them they love Garfield and Stone together. Its a tough spot they were in, but the solution they came up with did not work for me and unravelled the entire thing. DFu4ever posted:He's just saying that because he knows he can't keep the promise he made and he wants her to know, not like its some concrete ideal he lives by. There is nothing vile about it and it's perfectly within character. Its only within the character if the character is "a guy that barely learned anything"--because thats what its showing! A Spider-Man story is more "I'll keep this promise, even though its going to be a drag, because I'm crazy about this girl." rather than "You know what, maybe we'll be dating eventually anyways!". Again, its terribly tacked-on. If you gave that crew a chance to redo that ending, they probably would. DFu4ever posted:Parker, at least in Ultimate Spider-Man, isn't some paragon of virtue.

True, but any single part of Ultimate Spider-Man (which this movie borrows A LOT from) is better than that movie. Any plot point or idea they took from it, was better set-up, explained or motivated.

Peter and MJ break up/make up multiple times throughout Ultimate Spidey solely because he's wishy-washy with his stance on having her close to him. They consistently get back together because he can never stay firm on that stance. It got especially old when they had him do it the third time while dating Kitty Pryde, because those two actually made a really entertaining pair. At least the movie has him realize pretty quickly that it was a promise he couldn't keep, and not to mention the entire concept (in both the comics and movies) being hilariously unfair to the character (although Kitty Pryde was a great fix to the problem since she was able to take care of herself, yet they still ended up back to the status quo).

A retelling of an origin story that had been told 8 different times in the past ten years spread across various media that was different, but not different enough to be remarkable, along with not particularly excelling in any visceral aspects over the best of existing action films (Spider-man 1, as flawed as it was at the time, did give us the first filmic-special effects of Spider-man actually doing something, which was exciting at the time, and was directed more generally vibrant than any other concurrent superhero movie, in comparison).

The promise was dumb and Captain Stacy is super duper dumb. The "reason" he died wasn't because he got close to Peter or something, it was because he was a police officer fighting a lizard monster.

Yeah this pretty much sums up my feelings on the movie. Now that all the origin crap is out of the way, here's hoping part 2 is better. Hopefully Webb figured some things out on the first one and has more confidence and a stronger vision this time.

I really like Andrew Garfield but Peter Parker was really badly written for TASM and it's obvious he tried the best he could with what he got. Raimi's films weren't amazing but they did a pretty good job of portraying how Peter Parker evolves as a character in the first film. The Peter we get at the end has got confidence, a sense of responsibility and what he does makes sense in terms of the character's motivations. I don't think there is really any kind of character arc in TASM as Peter is already more or less Spiderman from the beginning and he already has the confidence to challenge flash. I felt like TASM is just a spectacle where the film holds your hand and takes you from set-piece to set-piece. Also is it ever explained why Gwen Stacey is interested in Peter? It was fairly hard to get a sense of what drives any of the characters besides the Doctor. I haven't seen it in a while though so I'm going to re-watch it tonight I think.

His intelligence, his confidence, probably that they're both smart nerds in a school that isn't full of them so there's a kinship there. Ironically, what you said about Gwen and Peter is what I'd say about Peter and MJ in Raimi films. At least with Gwen, they actually talked to each other and seemed to respect eachother and be friends before they started dating. MJ pretty much never gave Peter the time of day until she found out he was Spider-Man.

The cheese is so moldy I needed a tox screen by the end, Toby Maguire's rubbery acting and the complete lack of chemistry between him and Kirsten Dunst (and, separately, between Peter and MJ as written) are nearly painful to sit through and make the on-paper evolution of Peter's character difficult to connect with because of how desperately uncharismatic they are. And while I remember being awed by the action the first time around, in comparison to what ASM did for Spidey's fight choreography and personality during action scenes, most of RSM's action has not withstood the test of time. It was impressive then because nobody had done any better, but now it's as exciting as a playground slapfight. In retrospect, ASM hardly feels boring or pointless because it corrected a lot of RSM's mistakes; it's more wiping the slate clean and getting it right with a do-over than simply treading worn ground.

I keep saying that but people have some mighty thick rose-tinted goggles on when it comes to the Raimi flicks, and while there's plenty of charming moments they really don't eclipse ASM by much if at all.

I guess everyone that reads the comic takes something different from them. To me, Garfield's Peter Parker, seemed a lot more like I envisioned him than Mcguires. I prefer TASM to Raimi's. it seems way more grounded to me, and I'm excited for two.

I saw TASM a little while ago and didn't like it at all. Didn't like the skateboarding, brooding Peter with cool hair, didn't like the muddy, dull color scheme and didn't like how it took forever to get to the loving Spiderman part. I like the Raimi version, I'll admit it. Mcguire's Peter Parker was dorky, awkward and smart mouthed, Willam Dafoe was hammy and nasty, and Whats-her-name looked the part anyway. The third movie sucked but the first two did a good job of translating the look and feel of the comics while being colorful and entertaining. Nothing really special, but fun. I was totally bored with the new one, and cringed at a lot of the bad lines they gave Dennis Leary. The bits at the beginning with peter's parents seemed to have no bearing on the rest of the movie, or maybe I just forgot. Overall I found it dull and plodding, and The Lizard looked stupid. Why did they make him look like a Goomba from the Mario Bros movie instead of like The Lizard? This has probably already been said so apologies if it's just annoying rehash like this movie.
