Anyone pumped out this movie?

Im excited that the Lizard is the bad guy..

The 4 minute trailer from last night is pretty good.. though the CG looks a bit over the top/obvious.

Amazing Spiderman 4 Minute Trailer

[rice cooker]

they should stop calling it a reboot. its more like a new episode every couple years. kinda like a tv series except its big budget and its on the big screen.

[pastarocket]

-will be an interesting movie to watch. -will get a better understanding of Spiderman in his teen years.

-good choice in Emma Stone to play Peter Parker's girlfriend.
:hotbaby:

[pastarocket]

not gonna lie..i dont enjoy when they change the actor who plays the main character.. lol but should be a good movie nonetheless

[Destephicon]

It's pretty cool. However, I wish they made the lizard have a snout rather than making it look like the old school lizard from the comics. But, it should be a pretty good movie.

The only part of the movie that looks any good in my opinion is Emma Stone

[6793026]

sorry but seriously do they really need to record his voice with his mask on?

Sorry I didn't think spiderman talked like a gangster....

[rsx]

wow that looked bad

[Ludepower]

too soon with a remake...wtf...
and yea i thought spidy was a nerd not a thug

[yogenfruz]

I think the way he was talking was in reference to the whole "wimpy kid gaining power" thing. I'm sure if this were real, anyone would start getting cocky with the way they started acting, especially behind a mask.

[fetched]

The CG looks so amateur

[RFlush]

Too many long video clips of the movie. It's to build the hype but I bet when you watch the actual movie, you will think you have already seen more than half of it already by just viewing all the trailers.

Same thing happened with Avengers.

[6793026]

yeah the CG was just terrible... cocky is cocky. if you're a nerd at the beginning, getting super powers ain't going to make you sound like a jock all of a sudden. the bridge scene is just... damnnn i'm really going to pass on this one.

[winson604]

Doesn't look too amazing to me. Then again I've never been a fan of Spider Man, just doesn't seem to be any appeal. I also can't help thinking fo facebook.

[urrh]

just watched the 2002 spider-man movie. still great after all these years. spider-man2 is on the agenda for tomorrow

[freakshow]

just watched the 2002 spider-man movie. still great after all these years. spider-man2 is on the agenda for tomorrow
You should probably stop after tomorrow..

[urrh]

heh yeah. i like to think the series ends at 2

[CA_FTW]

Sand man was the best....

and Venom being all thin, thats the way it was ment to be.

JK

[AzNightmare]

Think I still want to watch it just because.

But damn... watching these clips, doesn't seem like a darker remake.
Seems just as tacky and corny as the first one. Maybe Spider-man is incapable of being portrayed in a dark and serious way???
:suspicious:

[StylinRed]

here's a Russian trailer with a few more scenes than any american one ive seen (its filmed with a phone in the theatre lol)

Reviews are out and so far it's not that great :\

[Spartacus]

Save your money and watch the 25 minutes main plot from the the movie.

"With The Amazing Spider-Man opening next week on July 3rd, you may feel like you’ve seen the entire movie through the recent marketing barrage. Well, you have seen about twenty-five minutes of it, because someone’s gone through the trouble of editing all the footage together into a mini-film for your viewing pleasure. Add to it a new clip, TV spot and featurette and you can watch nearly a third of The Amazing Spider-Man without paying a dime."

[SkinnyPupp]

I'll repost my comment from Facebook why I liked this movie so much

(someone asked if Lizard was any good, since Lizard isn't exactly a famous villain)

To me, the Lizard storyline is the original storyline, so I liked it. The Lizard CG was kind of lame, but actually most of the rest of the CG was pretty good. Unlike the original Spiderman movies, he didn't look like a goofy cartoon when he was flying around the city.

This was one of the more 'human' comic movies, and casting Martin Sheen and Sally Field as the Parkers really held everything together. When the story took place (and we all know what happens) there was still an emotional impact. We know WHY Peter decided to become Spiderman, and the first movie (and comic) didn't portray this as well as this movie did.

Also, another thing I liked was that unlike Avengers, it wasn't "turned up to 11" all the time. Avengers was just one stunt scene after another. Yes they were pretty awesome scenes, but after a while it got a bit fatiguing. With Spiderman, you go to enjoy the story as well as the action. The only problem I had with it was the story is just so familiar, if you have read the original comic and watched the first movie.

[trip]

mmm.... emma stone

[DanHibiki]

77% fresh only. that is kinda expected when you retell an origin movie nor far after a masterpiece.

[SkinnyPupp]

Who cares what arbitrary score it has on some website? Find out why people like it or don't like it. Man, people are getting so lazy they won't even read reviews anymore. They just want a score to decide for them

[cliffhanger33]

does the tuesday matinee thing work for spiderman today?

[CA_FTW]

Im going to watch this today at 3pm..

Looking forward to it..

[Oleophobic]

[kwy]

Watched it, liked it. Going to rewatch the original to see how it compares..crazy how that was 10 years ago

Agreed how it's already been a decade since the first spiderman. Doesn't seem that long ago at all!

Watched it today, I liked it... Emma Stone is awesome.

andrew garfield nailed the role perfectly imo. on a side note I think the movie was really great and it kept me on the edge of my seat.

[CA_FTW]

It was Enjoyable..

However Garfield doesn't seem like Peter Parker to me.
As someone that Loved TAS from the 90's..

THis is Peter Parker to me:

This Skiny Kid with Big Hair didnt feel like Peter Parker at all

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6kpqceydv1qlx028.jpg


Tobey looked the part more:
http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2007_Spider-Man_3/2007_spider_man_3_0023.jpg


Also wasnt a fan of the new personality of Peter.. I prefer him as the nerd/loser, Andrew version of him was a bit to cool., hip. I guess it works for the kids these days, but Peter parker wasnt a hipster


Also wasnt a fan of how the Lizard looked.. no Snout..

movie was entertaining, but i dont see it reaching the same level as the 2002 spider man.

Sorry but your Peter Parker is wrong.

Peter Parker is a skinny, ugly geek. Andrey Garfield is a skinny, ugly geek. Absolutely perfect casting.

The smart ass cocky "I got picked on all my life and now it's my turn" is what Spiderman was all about. And that's what this Spiderman is all about.

[yogenfruz]

Exactly was I was thinking Skinny. It's the idea of, "look at all this power I have, now I'm in charge."

I can't wait to see it.

[CA_FTW]

Sorry.. i was refering to the Peter Parker from "The Animated Series" .

that Peter Parker is far from Skinny.


http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VXa9KfaVW9g/Th9DoMG2vRI/AAAAAAAAAEM/mou4pRyVxys/s1600/Peter_Parker_design.jpg


Case Closed..

In my opinion, i enjoy a Peter Parker that looks more like that.. thats all..

My opinion is far from wrong.. lol.. its just mine..

Movie was entertaining.

[kwy]

Peter Parker from the comics is skinny..that's the way it is in the movies, and that seems about right to me. The animated series Peter Parker looks like a jock, not an awkward nerd.

[cliffhanger33]

Probably just me, but I really liked tobey as spiderman, hopefully my perspective will change when I watch this new one

[Derek_N84]

I think the cocky behaviour is spot on, Spiderman in the comics was always a smart ass making wise cracks.

[Sentinel]

Thought the movie was pretty good. I'd give 8/10 on it. Didn't like a few things about it though, see the spoiler.

The fight scenes are way better than the Tobey's 3 movies.

I know its a reboot but some things that bothered me about this movie was.
1) They didn't get Spiderman to actually compete in wrestling, they did pay tribute to wrestling, but I was expecting him to wrestle in a match like the first movie.

2) "with great power comes great responsibility" - Uncle briefly talked about being responsible, but never in this movie did the mention the actual quote. This quote is what Spiderman lives by and it wasn't even mentioned.

Thought the fight with the Lizard at the highschool was awesome, especially the part where Spiderman just jumps around and wrapping the Lizard up in a web.

Btw, any guesses on who will be the villain for sequel? Heard they might bring in Green Goblin or Mysterio.

[Vale46Rossi]

Oh yeah guys!!!

Remember to stay after the credits.

When they make a movie based on the animated series, then you'll be right. Until then, your opinion is quite literally wrong.

[palepilsenpin0y]

I actually really enjoyed this film!

Loved the arrogant, wise-cracking Spidey that they had going on during his fights. That's how Peter Parker was supposed to be in the comics!

Thought the acting was pretty superb as well. Definitely enjoyed it better than Tobey Maguire and Kristen Dunst's performances.

It was a lot more emotionally engaging than the original Sam Raimi trilogy. Gotta agree with SkinnyPupp, Martin Sheen and Sally Field were great as the Parkers!

In regards to your spoilered bit, they're trying to distinguish this movie from the original. Follow the comic books too closely and you're also making it too similar to the original.

[cliffhanger33]

Really liked the movie but I agree with how careful the director was in trying not to completely rip off the original movies

[DanHibiki]

The 90's era was filled with unrealistically buff characters. Every superhero had a 6 pack or higher.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/6b/Magslee.PNG/250px-Magslee.PNG

Look at Magneto. His arm is almost as big as his head!

I agree that spiderman is supposed to be skinny. Remember, reason why Spider-man was so popular is he is an average, every day joe with with average every day problems. More than that he was a KID superhero, who at the time were always side-kicks to the real stars. For socially-awkward kids growing up, it doesn't get more relatable than that.

I haven't seen this movie yet but I'll try to go into it with the old spiderman movies out of my head as much as possible.

Just taking a trip down memory lane... Going through all the covers from when I was reading comics breifly between 1991-1993 or so... My favourites were the Wolverine series, drawn by Mark Texaira

#65, I remember that issue.. had a scene where Wolverine got his eye ripped out

[spoon.ek9]

Watched this the other day and I agree that it's 100x better than Tobey Macguire/Kirsten Dunst. I honestly hate that trilogy with the first movie being somewhat acceptable.

I don't know about anyone else, but it bugged the shit out of me that the web came straight out of Toby's wrists rather than being a cartridge as it should be and was in the comics/animated series. There were many situations where Spidey simply ran out of webs.

Some people would argue that it's more realistic that Spidey could make webs with his wrists.. uh NO. If he had webs coming from his body in a realistic manner, it'd be coming out of his ass.

Anyways, the acting and the story in this reboot were MUCH better and Emma Stone is a hotty :D

I highly recommend watching this movie :thumbsup:





oh, and Dunst is a fucking pork chop. she was terrible as MJ. :rukidding:

There was a recent (2004-2005) publication of Avengers: Disassembled where Spider-Man turns into a spider, and upon recovery, can shoot organic webbing instead of using the web shooters. Granted, this was after the movies were made.

Either way, glad to hear this one is keeping closer to the comics. I'm not huge into comics, but I've always been a fan of superheroes.

[SkinnyPupp]

i've got that one! :D
Me too, that's why I picked it :D

[RacePace]

Guess I'm the only one who liked Raimi's Spiderman more. It was like Garfield was trying too hard to be angsty and emotional in the origin. I liked the light hearted moments of Raimi's which only Tobey McGuire could do well. The relationship trio of Peter, Harry, and Mary-jane made things more interesting, and the Peter, Uncle Ben, and Aunt May relationship was more heart felt in Raimi's, especially Peter and Aunt May. There's also the lack of J. Jonah Jameson, probably a role that noone other than J.K Simmons can fill.

Normally I'd say to each their own, but if you think the Peter/Ben/May story was better in the Raimi original... :rukidding:

Also, in regards to Garfield's Parker being too "emo"...

[kwy]

Christ, I don't even want to think about how bad Spiderman 3 was again..

[RacePace]

I'm just comparing the two first installments, ignore the 2nd and 3rd.

The scene with Peter and Ben talking in the car, then Ben dying and holding hands through the death, and the subsequent rage man hunt & thief realization hits way harder than the this movie's equivalent imo. In Raimi's, you have Peter telling Aunt May how much he misses Ben, and Peter visiting Aunt May in the hospital, etc. which makes them seem much closer as a family. The secret of Peter's parents, and Uncle Ben and Aunt May seemingly not wanting to talk about it makes them seem disconnected as a family

[SkinnyPupp]

OK I didn't get that at all. I think Martin Sheen's portrayal of Ben was so good, it was much more emotional when he died. At least it was for me

[CA_FTW]

Yay so im not the only one that liked the original better..

I have to Agree with Racepace.. it wasn't very emotional i didnt feel very connected to uncle Sam nor was i convinced that Andrew Garfield's Character cared about him either..

that whole part of the movie felt very rushed..

[bloodmack]

there was soo many times i thought they were going to say "with great power comes great responsiblity".. nope.. I don't even remember what uncle ben says to peter before he got mad at him..

[JSilver]

Just watched it. Good film but I prefer the original.

[jeff19]

someone explain the scene from the ending credits to me? I've never read the comics so that's probably why I didnt understand it

[BLUETIGER]

unfortunately Raimi has fucked the franchise up so bad, people can't tell what a good/faithful Spider-man is anymore

[DanHibiki]

Sorry bump old thread. I'm very late but I just watched it.

Emotional connection + death scene in Raimi's Spiderman was better. I remember tearing up a bit when Uncle Ben died.

Like some others mentioned, I felt the Parkers as a closer family than Amazing Spiderman.

Peter leans on Aunt May's support a lot but he was quite distant from her in this one.

Also he didn't handle the death of his uncle as much as I thought he would.


I'm guessing they really wanted to keep it different than the first one.



I gotta say I like Garfield as Spiderman more and the action scenes and wide angle web slinging was way better than the Raimi's!


Oh and how could they cut out the most famous line in Marvel history from the movie! I thought they'd have him say it at the end during the voicemail scene.
