Spiderman, Rebooted

[shodan]

so it looks like they're going the web cartridges route.

[Smith Dr John Smith]

*sigh* The fact that they devote HALF of that synopsis, and entire paragraph, to Peter Parker's home life situation, and only say Spiderman in the last sentance...be afraid people.

Yeah Frank Miller said it best when he said 'I go to Superman movies to see Superman fly",Don't wast have the movie on the origin story.

I'm curious... when they reboot the series again in say... 8 to 10 years, will it then be called the Spectacular Spider-man?

I'm a little disappointed they're having Spider-man go up against ONLY one villain(The Lizard)... I mean at this point why not the Sinister Six? Dammit, it would be a nice juxtaposition to the Avengers movie.

For those not in the Know, the Sinister Six are Doctor Octopus, Mysterio, the Vulture, Electro, Sandman and Kraven

They don't sound very sinister to me  Half those names sound like WWE wrestlers.  But then, I never read any "Spiderman" comics or seen any of the movies.  And probably won't see this one either.  I don't care for comic book movies.

Well, they could change the Sinister Six up so they don't suck anymore. Like maybe add Demogoblin, Venom, Carnage? I'm not mentioning Hobgoblin because that's too notoriously associated with a certain MST3K classic.... Mitchell.

I find the term 'comic book movie' strange, nobody says "I don't care for play adaptions" ...well, I'm sure somebody has but you see my point.

Comic book movies are fucking stupid. They're made for a bunch of acne-scarred virgins who live in their parents' basements rolling up D&D characters and jacking off into jizz-encrusted tube socks surfing My Little Pony slash-fic.

Dude! Harsh! For the record, I am NOT Acne Scarred!

Yeah, and my parent's house doesn't have a basement. And... no, no, that's about it.

Oh well, at least I'll probably be able to move out within the next oh... fifteen years or so.

Wow. You've outdone yourself, sir!  Though I think this is the second jizz-encrusted tube sock reference.  Need to branch out!

Is it?!? Man, my material is as stale as a...fuck!

[TeamRAD]

Tonally, it's definitely darker than anything Raimi did, and I'm really liking the choice of Garfield the more I see of him.

I'm there.

Anyone else get the feeling Gwen Stacy is going down at the end of the movie? And I don't mean in a sexual sense.

[Smith Dr John Smith]

Yeah you see the problem for me is that I hate it when Spiderman tries to be dark,I like it best when it is fun and exciting.  If I want dark superheros I have Batman and Watchmen. I thought the Rami movies were a little too dark and lacked a sense of fun at times and this movie looks even darker.

Yeah.... true. It's a pretty fine line to deal with because if you want to have legitimate drama sometimes you have to radically shift the tone of the film. That's the way I understand it anyway.
