Re: Spiderman Reply to this Post Reply with Quote   I am trying to remember the last time I was less excited about a superhero movie. Even when I knew Green Lantern was going to stink on ice, I wanted to see it more than Spiderman. The costume looks AWFUL, but everything less looks good and the word of mouth is great.

Re: Spiderman Reply to this Post Reply with Quote I saw it today and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. There were parts I didn't care for, and didn't find entirely believable (and I do realize that some suspension of disbelief is required for superhero films), overall I thought it was pretty epic. (Although, as someone who really doesn't like spiders there were a few scenes which caused freak-outage. To be expected, obviously, but still, I feel like there were more spiders in this one than in the previous incarnations. Mr. Tass got a good laugh out of me.) ---------------------------------------- Tacita of Midnight. Half blind, crippled, and Damned.

Midnight show FTW, and we're having the group over beforehand to watch the first two on Blu Ray on our shiny big TV since we couldn't afford to do the trilogy in the theater. SO. EXCITED. ---------------------------------------- Tacita of Midnight. Half blind, crippled, and Damned.

Re: Spiderman Reply to this Post Reply with Quote Most of the time, a comic book movie is only as good as its villain. And the Lizard was a very boring villain. Also, since it's only been ten years since they told us Spidey's origin story, I think they could have skipped it because we already know all that stuff about being bitten by a Spider, dead Uncle Ben, blah blah blah. ---------------------------------------- Mat on the Meridian Ocean Thank you to everyone who loves Blacksmithing!

I think that is why I am so unmotivated to see it. I really can't bring myself to watch the whole birth of spiderman story. I can only assume that the quote with great power comes great responsibility found its way into the film and i just don't feel up for the melodrama (I fimd it amusing that I am listening to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald as I type that). Now if Shin tells me it is worth seeing, I will check it out. Otherwise, I will wait for home release. ---------------------------------------- Cronk -Much better than you in every way.

Re: Spiderman Reply to this Post Reply with Quote It's worth seeing. Not perfect, but really a very solid film. Better than the first go-around in many respects. The leads also have insanely good chemistry. EDIT: "With great power comes great responsibility" does not appear in the film. DOUBLEEDIT: The costume still looks horrible, though. ---------------------------------------- Erfan wrote:  OUR SUPER IMPORTANT LORD SHINRAI THE HEDGEHOG ---------------------------------------- [Edit 4 times, last edit by CKShinrai at Jul 8, 2012 4:42:39 PM]

Re: Spiderman Reply to this Post Reply with Quote I think I'll be waiting for Redbox for this one. It's hard to be motivated for a movie that's clearly only being made to keep the license rolling. The Dark Knight Rises is going to be a biggest letdown of the year. Then again, I won't be satisfied unless Batman buys the farm. ---------------------------------------- "There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal."- Friedrich Hayek

Personally I have been dying to see it because it is the 3rd movie, but The Hobbit is just as big on my list. You all should go see Ted too. I hate Seth McFarlane(spelled wrong) and I even still think it is funny. ---------------------------------------- Captainrich

Re: Spiderman Reply to this Post Reply with Quote It was WAY better than the last reboot for me. The costume, to me, is much cooler than Tobey's. It's wittier, edgier, darker, and much better than the psuedo-camp disgrace that the previous 3 movies were... Just my take on it. Oh, and now Spiderman looks a bit like Andy Murray, which I find quite entertaining. :P ---------------------------------------- rachaelj wrote:  "your standing in patronising has gone up and is now respected in your archipelago" spelling corrected by Mads(tm) :P Avatar by Funny.

The problem I have with the new Spiderman though is that is was made relatively close to the latest release of the last trilogy and almost everyone who saw the Amazing Spiderman has seen the old ones. With this, it felt like I was re-watching parts of the old films at times and that made some climactic parts easily predicted.
