Whats up with Jamie Foxx's arms in that promo shot.... they seem absurdly long compared to Spidey's.

Spidey's probably standing on a booster seat
i want spidey to shoot his web all over my face.
That's what a lot of us ASM lovers have been saying since the beginning. Andrew Garfield is a much better Spider-man because he understands the material. That and the movie captures the mood of the comics better than the Sam Raimi movies.
Yea, I felt the writing in TASM held back Garfield a lot, it's worth noting I don't like Vanderbilt- and knew off the bat that the writing wouldn't be solid.
The Rundown and Zodiac are probably the best movies he's written, I'd go as far as to say Orci and Kurtzman is almost an improvement over him. Thing is Alvin Sargent, who wrote the Raimi trilogy (he was uncredited with David Koepp for SM1) also helped a little writing the TASM. So I'm not really sure what to expect, but I think we'll get a better film than the first one.
Garfield and Webb actually have a great understanding of the character, but the execution was sloppy the first time around even though I enjoyed it. They kind of implied that if it were up to them they wouldn't have done an origin story for the first film- but Sony's gonna Sony, and stretch this out into 4 movie franchise to keep the license. Spider-Man is not a hard hero to do on the big screen at all, to actually make a bad Spidey movie you need all the wrong steps lol. So I think out of these 4 films, we're due a compelling Spider-Man movie.

I wasn't a huge fan of the first ASM, cause Spidey was a dickish dick and The Lizard felt a bit like wasted potential, but I did like Gwen Stacy.
But I dig what we're hearing about this one.

Dat reach advantage. Spidey has no chance.

God damn... every time I see the spidey suit I'm blown away by how good it looks. I'm digging Electro too. Honestly, what were people expecting him to look like when they heard Electro was going to be the villain? It's no worse than Goomba-head Lizard man.

Secretly Andrew Garfield planted the idea of Peter being gay, so that we would accept this inevitably happening in TASM 2. Way to ruin the reveal with a slip Garfield!

if you haven't noticed most promo shots of comic book movie characters are usually dreadful but end up working alright thanks to that cinematic magic otherwise known as cinematography.
dat Maguire/Dunst chemistry

lol yeah it looks like shit but it really worked in the first two because of the awesome scripts.
garfield/stone appeared to have better chemistry but their scenes together were fucking horrible to sit through. a lot of weird awkward dialogue from garfield.

If Peter doesn't say "Don't taze me bro" i am going to be disappointed.

Because there was nooooooo awkward dialoge from Dunst and Maguire at all, right? "Don't tell Harry!" How about fuck off Dunst.
not even comparable. SM1 had camp, ASM had shit.

Wouldn't it have been amazing if when they show his face, he started singing "She take my money when I'm in need..."?
You're not lol.
I know people who did, people who didn't but liked it, and people who hated it. You're always gonna get that with reboots.
They all have good reasons. Raimi is a far more experienced Director than Webb, and it shows when you compare the films. People over exaggerate with Andrew's performance, yea the writing is shit, but Drew did a good job with the material he had to work with.
I can't bring myself to say TASM is better than SM2- but I will say I have higher hopes for this sequel than I did for TASM. They are making much better decisions this time around as far as approaching Spider-Man goes.
Nope. I prefer the reboot as well.

Nope.
As big as Raimi's Spider-Man movies were to my childhood, I much prefer what they're doing with the franchise now.

Not at all. Raimi's films were messy, inconsistent and overlong. They had their moments, but overall I prefer Webb's approach and especially Garfield over Maguire.

Nope.
What I really don't understand about them is the massive boner everyone seems to have for the train fight, it's just kind of boring.
Lol, I love the train scene, and most of the encounters between Spidey and Ock. Goblin's fight scenes were far more wonky and goofy, but were appropriate for the time.
I LOVED the Spidey vs Lizard scenes in TASM.
he don't need to, the lucky bastard
