I've not seen it yet, going to be watching it next Saturday, but I'm really excited, I mean, Garfield looks like a much better Spiderman than Tobey just because he looks the part, I mean, Tobey is too... big to play Spiderman, he seems too chunky/bulky or something I don't know but I never liked it, the fact that when they used the CGI Spiderman he looked leaner, and then it switched over to Tobey for the close ups and he just looked too big and out of place to be Spiderman... and he has a face I just want to punch, god I hate his face! When he cries he looks so fucking ugly and retarded that I just wanted to reach out into the screen and beat the shit out of him! Garfield DEFINITELY looks the part, and I've come to like his suit a lot more actually, at first I didn't like it, but now it looks sleek and stylish, my mates are still annoyed by the changes to the suit, but meh whatever.

So yeah, can't wait to see it! :D

Wut...Tobey is pretty small and not that bulky imo. Garfield does look more like the high-school peter parker though


Yeah normally he is, but in the Spiderman films he looked too... big... to play Spiderman, y'know? I don't know it's hard to explain, I mean he didn't look big as in too muscley or too fat, but just too big in general I'm not sure, but Garfield has such a better physique that fits Spiderman


I don't know what the hell I want.  I guess I'd be happy if Garfield was cast as Spider-Man but he played it with a Tobey McGuire Spider-Man personality.  He should have been less confident until he put on the mask.  He's got the perfect face for Peter Parker but he was too cool to be considered an outcast.  He dressed cool.  He had a skateboard.  He had movie star hair.  He should have been geeky until he got his powers.  I know most science geeks like to shred after school but......yeah.

Of course, they were revamping it.  I read that Peter was a self imposed outcast because he had issues with his missing parents.  I dunno.  I guess my problem is that they made the Spider-Man movie they wanted to make instead of the Spider-Man movie I would have made.  Don't get me wrong.  The movie did have some issues (like didn't he get shot in the leg at some point?  Doesn't that require medical attention and not just spraying webs on top of it?) but I can appreciate what we have over what I wish we had.

I'd give it a 7.8/10 on the superhero movie scale.

I give it a 10 out of 10. So he was cool,because he had a skateboard. When I watched the movie,I did'nt once think,man that's a cool kid. I Personally thought he played it with the right amount of awardness. Hell,I'd score the movie a 10 out of 10,just for emma stone being so hot.

Emma Stone is indeed hot.  Not in a supermodel kind of way, either.  She's hot in a "I think I have a chance with her" kind of way.  I'm insanely in love with her.

I didn't post it in my impressions, I guess there were too many things  that I didn't like about the movie, but as you bring it up I remembered when Flash was going to first fight with Peter thinking Oooo Flash is going to get it, because I assumed he already had his powers and I didn't know why I did that at the time though. That there what you just pointed out was the reason why ,although I knew it was a reboot in my mind I just automatically put Peter being so cool with him having his powers already.

I hated the High school atmosphere. Just producers milking the Twilight and teen wolf crowd some more. Flash was nice? Come on!


Here comes d21lewis again.

Actually, Flash isn't a bad guy.  In the comics, he had problems with Peter Parker but he idolized Spider-Man.  The crazy thing was that his biggest problem with Peter Parker was that Peter always bad mouthed Spidey (to keep his identity a secret) and it would piss Flash off.  Flash even dressed like Spider-Man to teach Peter a lesson!  You can imagine how well that worked.  Anyway (I'm probably ruining some movie later on down the line but....what the hell.) Flash wound up becoming friends with Peter Parker.  After High School, Flash joined the army and lost his legs in combat.  His inspiration was that he was being a hero like Spider-Man.  He later becomes Venom because the symbiote can give him his legs back.  See.  Flash is like an ogre.  He has layers.

But Ogres are like onions, and everyone dislikes raw onions.

 

Thank you for the History lesson. Maybe I hate him because of Mary Janes boyfriend in the original Spiderman movies with Tobey.


Well then Flash is like a parfait.  Everybody likes parfaits.

Obviously I am not a comic book reader. I am happy that fans of the comic got a spidey that is more like the comic books. But as a mainstream spidey fan I want web shooting out from veins and a spiderman who can take more of a beating. Also Garfield needs to be able to shed a tear on cue. I want commisioner Dennnis Leary to still be alive and I certainly do not want half the city to have seen Parkers face.


Which comic is Kingpin in? I really liked him as a bad guy when I was a kid on whatever super hero show he was on.

My fist time seeing Kingpin was on the cartoon Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (available now on Netflx instant streaming!).  I think he started off as a Spider-Man villain but he went on to become Daredevil's biggest enemy.  Or hell, maybe all of Marvel's characters just go wherever the hell they want.  I know there was a time when Spider-Man was in EVERYBODY'S comic book.  He was even in an issue of Tranformers that I read as a kid.

@spurgeonryan, I wouldn't say we got the Spidey we wanted. If you ask me, this movie fixed a lot of the things the Raimi movies did wrong but they did it at the expense of many of the things Raimi did right. If Green Goblin didn't look like a kid in a Halloween costume, Kirsten Dunst wasn't such a bitch, and Spidey made his own web shooters, I'd say Raimi's movies were perfect.

Now, we get the characters that look the part, a more realistic world, serious acting, and web shooters but we also get a weak villain, emo Peter Parker, a lead so pretty he can't keep his mask on for five minutes, and webs that come in the mail.

We're just impossible to satisfy, I guess.

Though to be fair Raimi's Spider-Man also took his mask off a lot.

In fact, there was not "Spider-Man 3." It should've been called "Peter Parker 3" because Spidey is hardly in it (same with part 2).

9/10

Loved it...not sure if I like it more than or as much as or less than Spider-man 2...but it's much better than Spidey 1 or 3.

Full thoughts coming tomorrow.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
