I guess I was kinda hoping the Spider Man trailer would be less blockbustery. Even though I thought 500 days of Summer was a piece of poo poo, a Spiderman movie with a smaller, more personal vibe would be great - something where we really got in Peter's head, with the science and super-villainy seen through his (limited) perspective. One thing that I love about Ditko/Lee Spiderman is that it's almost an affectionate parody of Superheroes - Peter Parker is just a teenager trying to care for his family and pay his debts, but assholes dressed like zoo animals and lightning keep showing up to try and rob banks. Like all teenagers, Spidey is just trying to learn to rules of an insane adult world. And then he gets beaten up by a pudgy guy with metal arms.

I'm liking the trailer. It was good to save the big reveal for the end. Also this pretty much confirms that the "this fits in with the other movies!" line was bullshit.

Why do they even need to reboot Spider Man? If they wanted to start a new series, they don't need to show us the same old origin story again

Expect these waiting times to decrease too.

Reboot the whole franchise every 10 years for all I care! Each new director will try to do something different with the origin, villains, character struggles, etc. to differentiate their work from the previous incarnations, and that can equal some really interesting takes on the Spider-Man world. Seems like they might take the same route with Batman, and I'm all for that. Why NOT reboot Spider-Man? should be the question.

Hopefully it's not an indication of how much of the actual movie will be devoted to his origin story. Incredible Hulk had the best example of retelling an origin story. Simply flashes of the origin happening during the title credits. Who the hell doesn't know Spiderman's origin at this point?

Maybe they are telling the origin story because they have an interesting story to build around it, regardless of it having been told before. I don't care that it's the origin, so long as its a good film.

Unless he doesn't get bitten by a spider, his uncle doesn't die and he doesn't ultimately accept his responsibility, it's going to be the same old story with a few minor differences and new actors.

I would actually be fine with seeing the origin again if they cut out the wrestling bullshit. Yes I know thats how its supposed to go: wrestling, mugger, uncle dies but please, switch it up a bit somehow for the love of god. massive spider fucked around with this message at Jul 19, 2011 around 14:49 |

In the Ultimate version he still did the wrestling but the mugger came about a different way. Looks like Gwen is possibly working as a lab assistant or volunteer for Connors in this movie. Which tells me someone may have been watching Spectacular Spider-Man. Which is definitely a good thing. I liked the first person shot of Spidey as well. That should be fun in 3D. I wonder if the trailer will be in 3D in front of Cap, that would be pretty awesome.

I have nothing but low expectations for The Amazing Spider-Man. But that trailer wasn't bad and the first-person view at the end was really neat. I still think the mechanical web-shooters are dumb as hell. I also had similarly low expectations for X-Men: First Class, though.

I enjoyed the Spidey trailer, but I really hope the origin doesn't eat up too much time. I can barely watch Raimi's SM1 any more because of the ol' origin hour.

There's nothing, absolutely nothing about the teaser that made me go "this will be good".

I hope the point of the trailer was to set up the "OMG Spider-Man!" reveal. If you watch it in the theater without the knowledge that it's for Spider-Man, then it works as a slow build up. Until the Spider bite reveal, it could be a generic sci-fi movie. Even the name Peter Parker is split up in such a way that if you weren't expecting it, you might miss out. Once the bite happens though, it's *boom* Spider-Powers->parkour->reveal. I hope they skim the origin as well, but that trailer isn't really a good measure. It's really just to get people going "OMG, Spider-Man!" at the end.

If anything, the trailer makes this movie look even darker than the original. Goddamnit why do we need a grittier movie? Spider-Man needs to be more like the animated series they had in the 90's. Hell, used the same theme song from that show, too. No more "epic" scores. Save that poo poo for Thor. Spider-Man needs to be about frenetic, nonstop fun; save the soul-searching for the inevitable 3rd movie in a trilogy. Save that for Kraven The Hunter or something.

Ultimate Spider-Man 1 through 6 are different from Amazing Fantasy #15. I know we all love trying to reduce movies to short cutting statements so we can all sound so smart but even if its a similar story/plot the whole movie might feel entirely different and worth watching.

Except we hadn't seen Batman's origin story on film in pretty much forever (they skimmed it even in the 1989 Batman). This one is going to be exactly 10 years after we last saw it. Making it a Spiderman from a different comic run and showing us the slightly different origin story from that isn't going to help.

Pssh, no way dude, I'm so sick of Man vs. Man, Man vs. Nature, Man vs. Machine, and Man vs. Self stories. Everything Hollywood does these days is just some rearranging of those tropes. Why don't they come up with something different GOD

I wasn't that impressed, but I wasn't able to see a whole lot of the first half of the trailer. I'm not sold on going with just Lizard for this movie, plus the fact that we're yet again devoting a lot of time to the origin. Except this time we see Spidey's parents.

SlimGoodbody posted:Look how edgy you are! This has nothing to do with being edgy. Sorry you can't accept someone's opinion. As someone else mentioned, we already had a movie explaining Spider-man's origin. I don't care to see more of it told in a different light. Just like how I don't give a poo poo to watch a movie about how Superman came about. Batman is a little bit different because he doesn't have super powers so we can't chalk everything up as "oh, he can just react really fast to punches and kicks so that's why he can fight people." It was interesting to see him getting trained by Ra's. But even then, I didn't care for Batman's parents getting killed and knowing why Bruce became Batman. Everyone knows the background, and, frankly, I think it's a mistake to re-tell the story.

Spiderman isn't a real person, so different versions of the character require different origins to explain what makes them unique.
