    Default The Amazing Spider-Man

    What do you guys think? Are we looking at a "Batman Begins"-style gritty origin story?

    I think it looks dope.

    What the heck happened to his suit?
    August Strindberg: "There's a view, current at the moment even among quite sensible people, that women, that secondary form of humanity (second to men, the lords and shapers of human civilisation) should in some way become equal with men, or could so be; this is leading to a struggle which is both bizarre and doomed. It's bizarre because a secondary form, by the laws of science, is always going to be a secondary form. Imagine two people, A (a man) and B (a woman). They start to run a race from the same point, C. A (the man) has a speed of, let's say, 100; B (the woman) has a speed of 60. Now, the question is 'Can B ever overtake A?" and the answer is 'Never!'. Whatever training, encouragement or self-denial is applied, the proposition is as impossible as that two parallel lines should ever meet."

    Oh, for 's sake! Can we at least wait for the next generation to grow up for remaking/-booting/screwing up stuff once more?

    Can someone sent a truck with cocaine to Hollywood, the producers obviously need a boost to think up something new.

    Looks awesome. Garfield's body is just awkward enough to have pull a convincing Spider-Man look.

    I don't think it will be particularly gritty, but I'm expecting a more grounded and realistic origin story. Which is I believe something positive.

    Sam made good entertaining movies but really screwed up in the third installment and left a bitter taste in the mouth that I hope this reboot will wash out.

    Personally I like the costume and the still itself.

    Liking the new costume, it looks like it's made of the same material as a basketball or something.

    As for the film itself: I don't mind reboots, certainly not in comic films considering how comics have brought the terms retcon and reimagining to new heights
    Some day I'll actually write all the reviews I keep promising...

    The Tobey-Spiderman just ended, why spiderman again?


    What could use a realistic (batman begins like) point of view is Super Mario
    Where Mario and Luigi are 2 italian mobsters who have their women captured by a crime boss

    I'd rather have a reboot than another Spidey 3. The franchise then just seemed to cram too many ideas into one movie. They could have spread it out, considering there was seven movies being considered (IIRC). IT was wayyy disappointing, especially after the godliness of Spider-Man 2.

    Some believe Sam Raimi made Spider-Man 3 to make sure he never made another spider-man movie. Forcing someone else to make it. It looks like he got his wish.

    comic book movies are 99% of the time let downs.

    Leave it to the modder to perfect the works of the paid developers for no profit at all.

    He's a bullied social outcast, orfan that just lost his only father figure. Spiderman can get pretty dark, but one still does not set the tone for the whole movie.

    No, no, no! Comic books are not damn Shakespeare deserving constant reiteration. You don't need to redo them! Make them once, leave them alone for 20 years! Even the Batman movies had a 10 year gap and Batman forever sucks worse than anything.

    It's as if Hollywood turns cinema into TV where all you get is reruns! For all I care they could take that money and donate it to Haiti.

    I get the feeling I'll suffer from Hollywood induced ADHS if they keep redigesting the same material over and over again without even a small break to let some fresh air in.

    Yeah, cool, it's dark and gritty. I guess some producer watched Dark Knight, heard it was a huge success and now wants to make the same amount of money... great.

    Yeah I understand what your saying but the Batman franchise did well up until the Forever movie... so it still had something to look back on. The problem with Spidey is that the films with Toby sucked from day one... it was not funny... it was not gritty... and there was no ing plot line. Thats why they have to redo it so we can erase the idea that there was ever a trilogy with Toby in it.
