Bozz posted:Why So Serious? It's just a teaser. Since both the screenwriter and the director have said there's a lot of humor in the movie I think we'll probably be just fine. The biggest two problems with the Raimi movies were that they were too campy and goofy and that the leads weren't great. I think both of those things won't be a problem in this one.

That trailer was loving awful. The tone was all wrong. I like everyone involved, so im still holding out hope, but the trailer had nothing good in it and makes me highly skeptical.

Farbtoner posted:So you're saying that we...shouldn't bother to compare it to Nolan's Batman series? That's not what I meant. Just that the Marvel universe and the Nolan Batman universe are really only related in that they're based off of comic books. One is grounded in reality, as much as it can be, one is a lot more fanciful and superhero-y. I don't know of many comic book movies that CAN easily compare to the Batman films. Maybe Watchmen?

I really dig the music. And Garfield's awkward Parker is pretty endearing I think. This isn't that dark, guys.

I'm skeptical about the first-person view. It really changes the way the audience is supposed to read the movie, and I don't think I've seen a change like that done well.

I'm not actually convinced that the first person view will even be in the movie. And if it is I'm sure it won't be in for more than one or two short scenes. Webb has repeatedly said that he is doing almost all of the web swinging as practical shots and not as CGI.

I'm hoping that whole FPS scene isn't indicative of the gimmicks the movie is going to pull for the 3D crowd. I'm hoping the fps scene was just for the trailer.

I really, really want to believe that this is going to be a good movie; I like Andrew Garfield, like Emma Stone, REALLY like Marc Webb. But nothing I'm seeing in the teaser is convincing me that this is going to be worth my time.

Man, Rotten Tomatoes is pulling something really low with Captain America right now. Now, first off, before I say anything, I don't care if the movie is actually good or not (I mean, I do, I want it to be). I will be seeing it at midnight, and I will most likely enjoy it even if it is not a good movie. Now that that's out, here is what they are doing. There have been about 20~ positive reviews floating around on the internet by critics who are normally on RottenTomatoes since last night. However, RT has been making the scores as such the entire day; 0-2, 1-2, 1-4, 2-6, 6-6, 7-6, 10-6. Throughout this, they've been saying on Twitter "Captain America is rotten!" "Captain America still rotten." "Fresh review, still rotten." They're withholding positive reviews and posting on Twitter more about Captain America whenever they add in reviews that it is still rotten (actually, that was just changed, they finally posted about it being fresh, though they haven't updated the website to show this) whilst they only made one tweet about say, Friends with Benefits (that it was fresh), whilst it is actually rotten now.

The biggest two problems with the Raimi movies were that they were too campy and goofy and that the leads weren't great. I think both of those things won't be a problem in this one. I always liked the campy side of Spider-man. He's a teenage pro-wrestler/mad scientist in training turned superhero who battles guys like the Rhino or the Vulture. He makes cheesy jokes about his ridiculous life, deals with all the usual awkwardness of going through adolescence and goes out to rescue people who think that he's some kind of scumball villain. Sure there's plenty of dark elements to the Spider-man stories, like the fact that the titular hero is a guilt ridden mess and tons of the usual comic book ultra-grim nonsense (marriage sold to the Devil, lol) but the tone of the stories was almost always one of light hearted adventure rather than brooding.

Yeah, after watching that trailer again so that I can actually see things, I'm still not sold. It doesn't give us a great idea as to where the film is headed, really.

Man, that's a dull trailer for Spider-man. So loving mopey and brooding. Too many shots of an isolated Peter just staring off into space. If this is the way they planning on taking it, I'm not interested. More "deep" emotion doesn't equal better. And the director sounds like a dick when he's comparing his film to the previous ones: http://www.chud.com/60556/the-amazi...-pisses-me-off/ Useless Rabbit fucked around with this message at Jul 20, 2011 around 20:54 |

What's with this making GBS threads on Raimi's films all of a sudden? The first film is fine but the second is loving brilliant, and the third is a studio mandated mess. I hate the idea that superheroes need to be 'dark' just because they're superheroes. They've said there's going to be humour in the film, but it's also going to be 'character driven' and 'more serious' than Raimi's efforts so I think the trailer is a fair indication of what the movie will be like. People who complained about Parker going Emo? It was a joke scene to show how goofy going emo is. Now we have the hero staring off into the distance like he's in loving Twilight.

I was making GBS threads on Raimi's Spiderman movies before it was cool. Every tacky speech from Aunt May made me embarassed to even be watching the things. That's not a defense of the upcoming film, though. I don't have high hopes for a film made solely because Sony would otherwise lose the rights.

Yeah honestly if there's one thing I really enjoy about the Marvel films is that none of the heroes so far have bitched about just wanting to be normal. Apart from Hulk I guess and that makes sense. Tony Stark is just living it up enjoying being loving Iron Man, Thor didn't stop grinning when he was stomping frost trolls (guess Thor wouldn't know what normal is) and Cap is probably going to be pretty chuffed to be a super soldier till he gets frozen.

I also think it's a bit weird people are making GBS threads on Spiderman 1 and 2. I liked those movies except for the fact that Spiderman wasn't cracking jokes while fighting. (and that he never said "my spider-sense is tingling" but that's nitpickey and not important)

I recently tried to rewatch the first Spiderman, as well as the first X-Men, and they really just do not stand the test of time well at all. Haven't seen the second Spidey in a while, but it's probably better. The third, well, we all know the temperature of that one. I'm interested in this Spiderman reboot because it looks like they aren't going to stop and wink at the loving camera every 15 god drat seconds. One of Green Lantern's major failings was that it refused to play itself straight. Now, don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean Spiderman should be a "straight man" or something (we already had three movies of that OH SNAP), just that the film should be engaging on its own terms. Batman, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Hellboy, etc... they all did this well. Some of those early generation superhero movies just feel incredibly hokey now.

DFu4ever posted:I've never seen a first person effect where you actually see your limbs done in a way that didn't come off looking odd. Actually I don't think the limbs are that bad, but the CGI in certain parts seems kinda cheap-looking, and on that one part where he starts running towards the right side of a rooftop, the camera stays fixed forward so it looks like he could be crabwalking for all we can tell. Plus the part where he slides under some piping seems unnecessary (and potentially costume-ruining!) for someone who can leap over just about anything, it's just ripped straight from Mirror's Edge for whatever reason. When you could be swinging around buildings like a loon, why even bother running on rooftops? They should've made the 1st-person version of this instead. I'm over-analyzing this so I'll stop now.
