Zoramon just reminded me how corny those movies were.

Yeah, definitely. And that CG is just so bad, the swinging really isn't anywhere near as good as what we've seen for ASM so far.

Batman Returns / Batman Forever / Batman & Robin =:= Spider-Man 1 / 2 / 3

Batman Begins / The Dark Knight / TDKR =:= The Amazing Spider-Man 1 / 2 / 3

That's how I see it, anyway.

I hate the idea of non-organic web shooters. I know, it's not canon, but the idea a teenager is capable of coming up with something like that by himself is insultingly stupid to the audience and the world in which it is placed.

He is a scientist, and a genius, after all. Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy probably caused you to forget all of that.

Also.... WHO'S HOTTER:

I...question the need for a human shaped head. It just looks very silly. The rest of him looks fine, it's just the head. If he's to be mainly CG, why not have the full length snout?

Not sure why they dropped the lab coat either, though maybe they'll have it in his first transformation.

I hope this is some sort of mid way transformation, and by the end of the film he actually looks like the Lizard and not a green man with a tail.

Does the Lizard speak? That always looks stupid without human-shaped lips.

Peter Parker smokes weed! (Nobody uses film anymore.)

The trailer made me go back and finish Season 2 of Spectacular Spider-Man. It's great, but that theme song... o_o

hah, I just finished it recently too. Second season was reallly good, it's a shame it ended too early.

Does anyone feel that second lizard face was channeling some seductive look?

Oh my! :lol

That Paul Dini/Man of Action show has a lot of making up to do.

Posted a bunch of screen caps earlier, there are some clear shots of Liz in there.

Do you have Quicktime on your computer? It opens it up in QT. I wait for it all to load up, then export the video (takes a minute or two), and that's that.

I would re-host it somewhere for you, but it's a 187MB file and i'm on 3G.

I have Quicktime but not Pro. Guess I have to have Pro to download it...?

 

[Hawkian]

Damn the extended train scene is really good. What are you haters talking about?

Bad CG? Get outta here!

Thanks for posting that

This is true, and scenes like this really make it blatant that this was the best of those three films. I really don't like Tobey Maguire for the character, and the third movie is an absolutely travesty and essentially rapes one of my favorite characters in all of fiction... but the other aspects of the trilogy are all pretty good stuff. I'm hoping the reboot can give me a little more of what I like and fix the things I didn't. Fingers crossed!

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

The best scene in Raimi's trilogy is in Spiderman 2 when just after Peter - despite his best efforts, hears that somebody got roasted in the fire in the building. Where he's just staring out the window after a whole movie of being shat on after making countless sacrifices. 'Am I not supposed to have what I want? What I need? What am I supposed to do?'

And then the girl comes in and asks Pete if he wants some chocolate cake and milk - a small gesture that at this point in his life means the absolute world to Peter.

That is why Spider-Man 2 is a great movie. Not the train scene.

Spider-man 2 is a great movie because it has both. It has those little touches and the big action setpieces and does them both flawlessly.

The action scenes in SM3 were pretty good (not topping the train scene but still great, IMO) but those little touches were just lost in the noise. The best part of the movie is the final scene with MJ and Peter just holding hands, because it was pretty much the only place it was like SM2 in that regard.

 

[Hot Coldman]

That, and Alfed Molina.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

It's adorable when people act like the first 2 movies weren't really great as if they have some heightened knowledge and taste in hindsight..they were both great, the second was excellent for the reasons mentioned above and a lot more.

Toby did a great job with the emotional state of being Peter Parker/Spiderman, it was easy for us to be very empathetic.

SM3 was fucking terrible because it retconned Peter as a character. I'm talking about before the symbiote bullshit attaches itself to him. In the first film when Peter gets his powers and goes to make money and is cheered on by the crowd as he takes Bonesaw apart, he thinks the fucking world of himself before his big wake-up call. Then he learns his most important fucking lesson ever, being that with great power yada yada.

It seems like he just forgot all that in SM3. He gets a big fucking head again and unlearns everything. I didn't buy for a fucking second that Peter would kiss Gwen Stacy in front of MJ. That shit was stupid as hell.

Then they retconned Uncle Ben's death and the movie was over for me.

[Salvor.Hardin]

Cake girl was a masterful touch to the movie.

I loved these two scenes as well:

Raindrops. Kind of an obvious one, but something that no other superhero film director would have the balls to do and skill to pull off.

The bit where Peter and MJ are reconnecting, and Pete is doing noticeably better, asks MJ out right before she gets in the taxi and she shoots him down. Everything in that scene works and the street they're walking down just feels like a real New York street.

I still remember the Raindrops scene having a profound affect on me days after. One scene that literally had me smiling with sunshine coming out of my ass for days.

That was poignant, but come on, there isn't one single reason SM2 is a great movie. It has that scene; it has the train scene... it has Parker and Mary Jane growing up in ways that feel reasonable to the audience. It has Alfred Molina as its antagonist, which is massive. It doesn't try to do too much, and it does what it tries to do very well. Despite flaws and cheesy moments which are aaabsolutely there and can't be nostalgia'd away for me, it's a great film as the sum of its parts.

I'm not hot on it either. Hopefully ASM2 ditches it TDK-style for a better one.

Michael Chabon yo, his next scripted film happens to be John Carter of Earth? Yes M'am.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Damn, again he takes off his mask and shares his plight with a girl? Why? Why? The best thing about Spider-Man is that he has to go through stuff alone.

At least he doesn't sound like his voice is cracking all the time, and he seems to be somewhat smart-alecky.

Put word balloons up on the screen, Mr. Webb.

THIS & THIS. Some of the emotional scenes in Raimi's SM were excellent, and Molina pulled off Doc Ock superbly.

Yeah, this is one of my favorite scenes out of all the SM flicks. I still remember watching it on loop for a while. Still, it reminds me of the lame ass story plot of him losing his powers due to his emotions. :S

Who knows, that stuff could be at the very end. I do hope there's a decent bit in the movie showing off his struggle as SM all alone. BUT then again, that might be too close to what we've already seen before.

I think the train-scene is better because of those "smaller" scenes. The scenes that involve the human side of Peter, things that remind him that he's only human, they make those train-scenes have a bigger impact. Sure, he has Spiderpowers, but still, those are limited and he can't save the world, at least not on his own. The fact that he realizes this and STILL goes after Octopus, makes that action-setpiece carry that extra bit of "oomph".
Imagine that exact same scene, except instead of Spider-Man, Superman or Optimus Prime comes in and stops that train.

Diamond select busts/figures of the Lizard, shows off some more details.

I like how his regrown arm only has 4 fingers, yet his normal arm/hand just gets mutated.

Heh, that is interesting... genetic regrowth, how does it work?

 

[jokingbird]

All I can picture is the Lizard yelling "Come at me, bro!" to Spiderman when they fight in the sewers.

 

[Fudgepuppy]

It's really sad that they went with no snout even though he's CG. At first I thought "Okay, no snout is understandable if it's all make-up".

So can i be hopeful that JK Simmons will return as J. Jonah Jameson? Movie actually looks pretty fun though. Could see myself trying this series out again despite that awful finale of the original trilogy.
