also someone got a little creative & did this spidey-related video:

BTW, if there is already a thread about this, i apologize.

If they are going to turn SpiderMan into an emo(like in SM3) or a hipster, I will not watch the movie. Other than that, it is #2 on my list behind TDKR to watch.

I see it Thursday...will let y'all know.

That's a genuine risk, but I don't believe that will be the case. The previews have a serious feel to them in my opinion.

Comics fan since childhood so I'll definitely see this one.

I wasn't happy that they re-booted this franchise so quickly, but from the trailers it looks like they've done a nice job with it.

Now I look forward to the respective film companies working together to bring the entire Marvel Universe together on some level.

OK.

Not interested at all.

The NBA playoffs were so saturated with commercials I have no desire to see the entire movie.

Aikmaniac · 06-25-2012

Agreed with Hoofibite. No real interest at all.

I think it's too soon to "reboot" Spiderman. Unlike some, I actually enjoyed the Sam Raimi movies. I would've thought a fourth from him would've given him a chance to catch the magic from 1 and 2.

#3 was TERRIBLE! I still don't understand why he did nothing with Dr. Conners character.

maybe #4 was going to be the one where connors(the lizard) would be the main villian like he's going to be in this new one. who knows.

I'll see it, but mostly because it's a Spiderman film. I'm not really excited for the movie though.

ChldsPlay · 06-26-2012

I'm not sure about the whole parents thing, but I do think it looks to be much better than the Raimi versions which have terrible replay value, except the third which was terrible the first time. They look to have gotten the Peter Parker character much better this time.

All that I ask from movie adaptations of comic titles is that they capture the true essense of the character(s) and the book(s). If another version hits the big screen, I hope that it is an improvement over a previous rendition.

Tim Burton's Batman (the original/I will not speak of its sequels) was very good in my opinion, but it was still too cartoony. Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins captured the real feel of the character and its books--although the cityscape of Gotham City was a tad too much. Of course, The Dark Knight was a grand slam in artistic interpretation.

That is the sort of film evolution I hope to see from The Amazing Spider-Man. Spider-Man and Spider-Man II were very good in my opinion, but still reeked of Saturday morning cartoon fare. Marc Webb has an opportunity to learn from Nolan's vision of the genre and really do the character real justice. I'm anxious to find out if he 'gets it' or not.

I think what worked for Batman and Batman Returns(which I think was the better of the two), was the dark oddness of Tim Burton.
