The Amazing Spiderman

You didn't like Emo-Spidey?  That's impossible!

So the CFO of Facebook is also Spiderman. Fucking rich people man. First Batman now Spiderman. 

i like the new look. it's a little darker than the other 2 movies (snicker, snicker). i'll be seeing this one for sure.

I do like the darker look and feel, but what I can't get over is the reboot. How many times must we see the same story of peter getting bit by a friggin spider. ok, so the baddies change, so he's now earlier in HS, I still think they should just pick a storyline not at the top of the hour and run with something. At this rate, we'll never see some cool characters like black cat and carnage and rhino or electro.

Doc Oc was my fav in the movies, tho. 

Ya i'm tired of the reboots as well.  Move the story line forward.  I'll rent this one when it comes out on bluray, not going to see it in the theaters.

I also wish they wouldn't reboot things all the time... at least we are going to see a new villain (the Lizard) this time, rather than the Green Goblin or Doctor Octopus again.

Also, what is up with the CGI for this movie? To me it all seemed so shiny and fake... like the way CGI looked years ago.

Oh and that college humor vid was awesome! Thanks for sharing that!

Well there's a reason why a re-boot happened, because the script for Spiderman 4 was so stupid ( The Black Cat and the Vulture were to be Father & Daughter), as for this new movie, I think somebody finally understood the character, because we have the mechanical webshooters, Spidey's a wisecracking smartass (always has been), and Andrew Garfield is perfect for the role, he looks like Peter Parker, and Emma Stone happens to be a natural blond in real life (NOT A REDHEAD !!!)

I'm not really concerned about the CGI look of the lizard, as long as a darker and grittier story is delivered, I'll be one happy fan. My sister Beth worked on both the sets and props for the first two Spiderman films, and there were mechanical webshooters to be introduced, but Sam Raimi changed the character, listen I think those films are great but they were never truely true to what the character is, hopefully Marc Webb and the writers get it right this time around, only time will tell!!!

I took the boys to see the movie today.  It wasn't bad but I could really do without another Spiderman origin story.  Seriously, we all know he got bit by a spider.  We all know Uncle Ben dies.  I wish they speed that part along, or skipped it completely. 

Anyway, it wasn't a bad movie.  Not sure why a reboot was needed as I thought the previous ones were better (minus Spiderman 3).  The kids enjoyed it.  I do think the new actor "looks" more like Peter Parker and I think Spiderman moved much better in this one.  If you're looking at escaping the summer heat and are into superhero movies you will enjoy this one. 

It happens with a lot of franchises. Same thing happened with Spawn. People read the comics originally....then they made the movie....HAD to do the origins....then the HBO animated series....HAD to do the origins. Sorry I don't wanna waste 45 minutes of a movie or a full episode hearing the guy scream WANDA! the whole time.

Same thing here with Spiderman. Kids know how Spiderman got to be Spiderman......so LET HIM BE SPIDERMAN. Not every audience attendee is a completely ignorant douche just going to see "whats new & hawt".
