The Amazing Spiderman (2012)

[Warner2BruceTD]

I gaurentee the people that dont like the Dark Knight, if you did the same storyline and made Batman a cop and took the makeup off Joekr, they'd go gaga for it.

Sorry, but I just had to quote this completely retarded statement from over a year ago.

If you strip the superhero element from that movie, it would have the complete opposite effect of what you are claiming. Instead of a really boring badly edited superhero snoozefest, you would be left with a really boring badly edited snoozefest.

The appeal in that film stops with the characters. It would have been a horrendous cop movie.

No way jose.

Are we really talking about the Dark Knight?

And TDK has its problems, and will never be the perfect movie it was made out to be at the time, but a snoozefest? Come on, that's just hating for the sake of hating.

I found it boring. Not nearly as boring as Batman Begins, but boring. I won't bother with the third.

Regardless of my opinion, to say that movie would work without the superhero element is crazy.

Eh, I for one kind of agree and disagree. I think that as a heist film it was fantastic. I think if anything it was more hurt by having to remain true to this ludicrous idea that a genius would dress up like a bat. However, I think if you were to MAKE a heist film just like that it wouldn't succeed as well because you don't have the clout of the namesake.

Holy shit, this is a SPIDERMAN THREAD! FUCK BATMAN!!!


And seriously the ONLY reason TDK was any good is because Heath Ledger pwned it. I also wish Katie Holmes would have been in it.

Her acting in Batman Begins was sooo terrible though...

:noidea: I just love looking at her.

agreed, I'd rather look at her then the female Jake

While I agree Heath was great in the movie I think the movie is good on its own merits.


Back to Spider-Man, I had read about the POV scene, but seeing it in the trailer made it kind of like a video game honestly, mostly Mirror's Edge. The movie looks like it will go deeper into Peter's backstory including his family, a bit confused as to what the father left behind though, maybe the suit, idk. I do like how they bring everyone together working at Oscorp if I remember correctly. I dont quite understand how Sony kept toying with people and never answering if the Lizard was in the movie, which was pretty much confirmed when production started. The Bollywood guy is the movie is stupid, he said Rhys sp? was playing Osborn or something, and made up a bunch of stuff about the movie.

Maybe his dad left the web cartridges or something? who knows, hard to tell from that trailer. Once it comes out in HD we'll be able to tell more. I'm just glad they actually added the web cartridges for this one, that was a huge problem I had with those other movies, that the web just somehow magically came out of his body. Also it made the little gesture he does (similar to the "I Love You" hand sign) to shoot the web mean absolutely NOTHING.

The sound of this makes it seem like it's going to be full of teen angst. Unless they find a way to tie it in with the bigger Marvel universe, I'll pass.

It's... spiderman... you do realize that he's supposed to be in high school right..? Teen angst? Well his favorite teacher is a super villain and his girlfriend's dad is the police chief... so...

So, what's up with Parkers parents in that trailer. Why did they run off in the middle of the night? Was the dad a spy or something?

Here's a clean look at the trailer didn't see one in this thread yet.

[Sean]

In the comics yea they were spies, both of his parents, not sure if they are going the same route here but it looks like they will

That's pretty cool, I never knew that!

This Spiderman seems a lot more emo/dark, which is pretty cool IMO.

Parkers life has been surrounded with death and disappointment, so I like the Emo/loner take on him... Makes sense!

Emma Stone, looks good as a blond. But that shouldn't be a surprise, I read somewhere once she's a natural blond. She's not a terrible actress either, hopefully she can pull off a good Gwen.
