New Spideman Movie

[monoxide_child]

is anyone here going to watch it?

 

[Archelaos]

The first half of the trailer was interesting. The 2nd half looked like watching my friends play video games. I'm sure it'll look better in a years time though, so I probably will.

 

[monoxide_child]

i thought they would have already filmed it before making a trailer

The Dark Knight rises is still being filmed, or at least they are nearing post production and it has a trailer as well.

Even though the new Spiderman movie is assuredly going to be forgettable, and the trailer looks like someone playing Mirror's Edge, I'll probably see it anyway just because I've always been such a huge Spiderman nerd. Other than missing the original cast and director though, how much more could it truly suck compared to Spiderman 3? That movie was what The Phantom Menace was to The Empire Strikes Back.

didn't really think it was going to be a spectacular movie, i just thought that this new "amazing spiderman" movie would at least be better than "spiderman 3"

Looks like another crock of Marvel-induced shit. No offense to comic books and their fans, but these mundane adaptations have largely and with very few exceptions ruined my enjoyment of heading into theaters in the past decade.

with superhero movies, the target audience isn't people who go to the movies to see non-superhero movies
the target audience is people that read superhero comics
i think this new spiderman movie will be entertaining to those people who read the spiderman comic, the reasons that the comic-book fans didn't like spiderman 3 had nothing to do with the reasons that other movie-goers didn't like spiderman 3
i think it's going to be hard to do a movie that's apealing to both the comic readers and the people that see every theatrically released movie that comes out

Marvel/DC seem to miss the mark more often than they hit it, but not all of their movies have been bad. It's just that now they are mass producing as many of them as there were terrible horror movie remakes since the start of the early 2000s.

Good "comic book" based films--that do not necessarily have to remain 100% true to the source to still be a good movie (no particular order):

1. Superman 2
2. Spiderman
3. Spiderman 2
4. Batman Begins
5. The Dark Knight
6. A History of Violence
7. Sin City
8. Watchmen
9. The Crow
10. Hellboy
11. Blade
12. Batman
13. Batman Returns (although Penguin was annoying as hell)
14. Men in Black
15. Kick-Ass
16. Wanted
17. Iron Man
18. Akira (I don't care what anyone says, Manga = Comic Book)
19. Ghost in the Shell

i agree with this list except that i would add Daredevil and Captain America

 

[Archelaos]

..Daredevil? Really? Captain America deserves the nod though, yeah.

I haven't seen the Captain America movie yet, but I have a suspicion that it will just end up being a fun, throwaway popcorn flick--but I'll gladly be mistaken. I could have made an even bigger list, but I was simply listing movies that were not only memorable, but rewatchable.

Daredevil was neither to me. I actually like both Garner and Affleck (and even Farrell at times!), but that movie was your typical money grab. You can't really have an interesting "hero" movie without any interesting villains. The fight scenes were filmed too chaotically to look good at all too. I also found it a bit silly that they kept saying he had a "radar" sense, when what he was doing was sonar based. Even the official description is wrong, but then so was a lot of the terminology used for characters created in the 50s and 60s.

I seen Captain America last weekend and thought it was pretty damn good. Surprisingly good! I am not looking forward to this new Spidey though. Just doesn't give me the want to see it from the priviews.

I could have made an even bigger list, but I was simply listing movies that were not only memorable, but rewatchable. Captain America was way better than the cheesefest that it could have been, i think a lot of people were prolly expecting it to be as crappy as that Captain America movie from the early 90s

the whole radar/sonar thing didn't bother me
and i thought Daredevil was a pretty decent movie

For Twilight fans...

The irony here is that Emma Stone would have made a better MJ.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Peter Parker is a fucking nerd. The dude cracks jokes constantly. Im tired of the emo bullshit!

 

[Dreadful]

I think it's because they want to appeal to the college kids/laptop/reddit/4chan crowd

 

[monoxide_child]

..Daredevil? Really? Captain America deserves the nod though, yeah.

i know a guy that owns Daredevil on DVD
he saw Captain America yesterday and told me that Daredevil was better than Captain America
i personnaly haven't seen Daredevil in a while but i'd say i like them both about equally
patricualarly pleasantly surprised at how the Cap movie was able to include Bucky Barnes without it looking anywhere near as stupid as i expected

 

[monoxide_child]

for those who don't read superhero comics
re-read this

with superhero movies, the target audience isn't people who go to the movies to see non-superhero movies
the target audience is people that read superhero comics
i think this new spiderman movie will be entertaining to those people who read the spiderman comic, the reasons that the comic-book fans didn't like spiderman 3 had nothing to do with the reasons that other movie-goers didn't like spiderman 3

bullshit

They wouldn't pump millions of dollars in a movie, if they just want the comic nerds to see it.
