Marvel keeps kicking DC's butt.

It's way past embarrassing. Batman is really its only saving grace.

Oh yeah, hopefully that pushes DC to make a Justice League Movie. It would have to be after the Flash movie though.

The Green Lantern was horrible.

[Yeagermeister]

So this a reboot?

[theogt]

So this a reboot?Yup. He'll have a slightly different origin and everything. I don't get this one. They could have waited another 3-7 years to remake Spider-man.

I said that after watching Avengers! :laugh2:

It needs to be done!

[theogt]

They've been trying to get the JL off the ground for years now.

[Afigueroa22]

Yup. He'll have a slightly different origin and everything. I don't get this one. They could have waited another 3-7 years to remake Spider-man.

I think this one is staying true to the comics. In the comics Peter had to create his webbing. He also was with Gwen stacy before MJ. The Green Goblin killed her.

In this one he's born with powers. The spider simply activates them. Something to do with his father's experiments. That's not true to the comics.

From what i've seen in the previews, he's the son of the orginal spider man and is thus how he has the inherited powers.

Yeah that was the part of the trailer that I wasn't into. I didnt like the idea of changing the origin too much but the trailer actually seems to show that the movie is going to be far better than I had thought it was going to be.

[Aikmaniac]

The general audience will be confused as to:

a) where's tobey maguire?

b) why is this starting all over again so soon?

[ChldsPlay]

Yup. He'll have a slightly different origin and everything. I don't get this one. They could have waited another 3-7 years to remake Spider-man.

Pretty sure they had to make another one now or they would have lost the rights.

[Future]

Laaaame. I don't understand how all of these super hero movies are blockbusters.

[Christiann]

The little boy in the burning car is my Best Friend's little brother, pretty cool to see him in the trailer!

[NoHuddle]

People keep on saying this one's going to suck but I think it's better. Seems more "real" to me if that makes any sense.

Wow, really? I wonder what else they changed. Can't they just leave it how Stan Lee intended it to be?

[ShiningStar]

like they have any ideas left?

[Doomsday]

Do they have to keep starting the series over every few movies? We all know how Spider Man, Super Man etc came about, just make a movie that is watchable. Who cares if he is born with powers, or has to create his own webbing? Either way he is Spider Man, just move on with the story already.

The Green Lantern was horrible.
Marvel created The Avengers the right way according to the book's storyline--albeit with a few tweaks. Each character of the book's founding members--Iron Man, Thor and Hulk--had their own movie which preceded The Avengers film. Captain America's was not a founding member of the group, but his character is identified very strongly with The Avengers that his pre-movie made perfect sense.

The other founding members, Ant-Man and Wasp, were replaced in this film by the Black Widow and Hawkeye. They were also pre-introduced before The Avengers movie in the Iron Man and Thor movies. The same goes for Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.

The formula works very well. All the individual characters bring the fans and core audiences which they attracted to their own films to the group movie. Add a decent plot (basically straight from Stan Lee's first issue), good writing, great special effects and presto: a blockbuster movie.

If DC wants similar results, they should proceed along the same path. That means the Justice League's founding members--Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Flash and/or Martian Manhunter--should be given movies which precede the group movie.

Batman is firmly established. The sad thing (in my personal opinion) is that Christian Bale will not be in it most likely.

Superman needs a serious reboot. The mid-2000's film shouldn't be counted for a tie-in into the JL movie. Luckily, DC will 'get it right' ( :crossed: )with Man Of Steel debuting next year.

Green Lantern was alright. If they can re-cast the role and get rid of Ryan Reynolds (and Blake Lively), its sequels should do better.

That leaves Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash and/or Martian Manhunter getting their own movies--with Wonder Woman being an imperative. She, along with Superman and Batman, is one of the top three guns in the DC Universe. It is crazy stupid that her character has not graced the big screen during the last two decades.

Martian Manhunter could be a support character with a movie title like Black Widow and Hawkeye. I'm not so sure the same could be said of Flash and Aquaman. If I had to pick one of the two which a JL movie did not 'require' a character's movie to precede it, I would pick Aquaman. I'm not real sure how receptive audiences would be to a fish man. :p: On the other hand, I think that a Flash movie (no pun intended), would be a pretty good hit with moviegoers.

All-in-all, I believe DC could achieve the same success with a group movie as Marvel has. They should lay out the groundwork first and that takes time. Of course, they could take the shortcut and make JL without doing the character recognition work first. I think that would do be shortsighted.

Then again, I just want DC to do ANYTHING proactive. Their characters have fictional traditions which are just as good as Marvel's. Why they haven't seriously tried to capitalize on them is a mystery to me.

Obviously I'm in the minority here, but I don't think Batmans are all that great. (including the dark knight)

In my most honest opinion, I believe that anyone should separate the pre-Christopher Nolan films from all the ones which came before them in their evaluation--including Tim Burton's original Batman. They were very good (Burton's) to awful (Batman & Robin), but they were never the quintessential Batman or even Bruce Wayne. Nolan captures the character's true essense and surrounds it in a perfect movie world.

Of course, that's just my opinion. If you didn't think Nolan's films were great, I gotta respect that. :cool:

I agree...I actually think the first one of this trilogy, Batman Begins, is better than TGK.

Spider-Man 3 was a mess. A re-boot is necessary (especially if they're adding Spidey to The Avengers 2).

Is this a possibility? I ask because Spider-Man is a loner who does not often associate with teams. He has been a member of The Avengers in the title, but it took a LOT of years before he joined them.

If I'm not mistaken, "Ultimate" or "the Amazing" Spider-Man is the one who was born with the powers and also a member of the Avengers for a short period of time during I believe the Secret Wars.

and better cgi....so in other words everything

I stopped buying titles full-time around '93, so I am far from being current with comics continuity. I do know that Marvel has done reboots of its titles since that time. Characters are revised somewhat along with their histories.

The original Secret Wars hit newsstands before '93 back in the early/mid 80's. That was still about two or so decades after Stan Lee created The Avengers. I could be wrong, but I do not think that Spider-Man became a full-fledged Avenger before or during that period.

I was cool with the special effects. I thought that the Guardians were done really well. The actor playing Sinestro knock his role completely out of the park.

My beef is primarily with Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively and whoever played the principal big headed villain. Physically, Reynolds was an excellent choice, but his dramatic acting sucks. Lively's performance was more coldfish than anything else. And the other lead actor was the worst of the main three in my opinion.

I do give Reynolds credit for the final Showdown at the Sun scene. That was outstanding and a credit to the book's character. Everything else about him? meh.

In my opinion, he should talk Marvel into doing a couple of Deadpool movies. His acting as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine was spot on. He nailed that character, probably because his comedic charm meshes well with the Deadpool's characteristics.

Green Lantern was excellent in one way though. Angela Bassett's legs were out of this world. :cunning:

lol, seriously though I always hope any comic book movie is good/does good. It'll only take a couple of duds to get studios to pull back on making them.
