That's sad that you think TDKR is the top comic book film of all time. Of course I'm being sarcastic, but before when I said TDKR and TASM are in the same category, you didn't seem to respect my opinion.

People are already bashing TDKR for its flaws,BB had its stupid moments(Nice coat) TDK will probably stand out but so will SM2 imo While I agree with TA's point,while people can scream all they like about it being perfect and Raimi's Spidey being cheesy,I see no difference between the tone in TA and SM1.When you put a fun tone in movie,some will are always gonna think it is cheesy Last edited by Spiderdevil; 12-11-2012 at 10:01 PM. |

MOS can be terrible like SR,Snyder hasnt achieved anything great yet.300 was Okay,Watchmen was hated by the general audience.Sucker punch was terrible IM2 was terrible and while IM3 has great potential after TA,its still has to work hard Same with DOFP,Fox has its huccups with X3,Origins and now most probably The Wolverine joining.The brand of Xmen isnt really gaining popularity,and they are adding even more stupidity with combining the universe with F4 I think TASM has great potential and for these reasons 1.The origin is out of the way so we wont have every 2nd reviewer going 'Been there,dont that' 2.Great casting till now 3.TASM made 750M despite not being that great and coming in between 2 giants,If TASM2 is worthy of any thing above 80% on RT,it will hit a Billion easy,doesnt look to be competition around the time its gonna get released Last edited by Spiderdevil; 12-11-2012 at 10:04 PM. |

The X-Men franchise is really messed up at this point. It seems like they couldn't decide on whether or not First Class was a reboot or a prequel. Too many continuity errors, so let's call it a reboot. I enjoyed First Class, but it really wasn't that memorable or exciting IMO. It set up the sequels pretty well like TASM, so I'm still giving it another chance. (I think TASM was much more fun IMO... but I love both movies). If anything, I think that the X-Men: Days of Future Past is in more trouble than TASM2. Just because Bryan Singer is back doesn't mean the movie is likely to do well. He didn't write the script, and he just was assigned recently. He has his share of bad movies (Superman Returns). So my question is, why would anyone think that Sony is unlikely to make a great film with TASM2? Whether you like it or not, Spider-Man 2 is considered one of the best CBMs out there, and on its own is considered a great film, too. They have an excellent cast for TASM, and now for TASM2 as well. Marc Webb knows where the franchise is going in terms of exploring the missing parents, and Norman Osborn. At least wait until the trailer comes out!

I would say TASM2 has the highest potential(Behind IM3) from the CBMs coming in the next 2 years |

I said that TASM and TDKR are in the same category, and you said that was sad.

BUT...still don't understand your idea of thinking Man of Steel has a chance to not become a great film. While Snyder has had a checkered history with his films, directors always get that chance to make a crowning achievement. MoS could very well be it. And if need be, Nolan could help him in making that crowning achievement.

I'm not really a fan of Superman to begin with. I think he is rather boring. He is too powerful, and I think the character and his storyline is very dated. He is the archetype for all superheroes, so I respect him.
So far it looks like they are doing their best at bringing him into the 21st century (starting with removing the red underwear).

Too many cooks in the kitchen on the last film with the reshoots and the truncated editing. It was a butchered mess. Who is driving this thing? The characterizations felt more genuine (loved Garfield, Stone, Sheen and Field), but the action sequences reverted back to the more stylized/cartoon sequences of Raimi's films. Although I loved some of those Raimi sequences like the great train sequence in SM2, it felt out of place in TASM. The Lizard was neutered beyond recognition. I expected brutal action between him and Spidey. And that crane sequence near the end of the film was pretty bad. On par with the "You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us." sequence from SM1.

And can we please have no more cheese....?? I thought the reboot was going to rid us of all that nonsense. Or even scenes that lack common sense. Like when Peter jumps off a buliding after telling Gwen he's Spider-Man. She just stands there like a statue and mumbles some love sick puppy line about "being in trouble.." Stupid. She doesn't really know anything at that point. Any normal person would have run to the ledge thinking "WTF?" But I'm sure we'll get more scenes like that. It's only a comic book film after all and Sony/Arad seems to love them ![]() I agree, but you have to take advantage of the talent. Rhys Ifans and Irrfan Khan are great actors, but what good is that if the characters are as poorly written as Connors and Ratha? And Sally Field was great as May but underutilized. This is all true, but there is is also a lot of indifference directed towards this reboot. It hasn't really invigorated the franchise in a dramatic way (like BB or Casino Royale). It hasn't moved the franchise to another level creatively. If anything, it's moved laterally from Raimi's films. Last edited by SoNicRaDiATioN; 12-12-2012 at 03:26 AM. |

Batman became a really toxic character but Nolan did well to get the character back into business Every director isnt Nolan plus Supes even more toxic imo with the failure of SR.Even if the movie is really good,it'll have trouble earning money just like BB,FC or TASM(compared to SM1,2 or 3) Last edited by Spiderdevil; 12-12-2012 at 05:53 AM. |

And true with Origins, but I didn't mention that as the main X-Men series ends with The Last Stand and then restarted itself with First Class. Quote:
Brace ourselves for The Wolverine? It could be a great film as well. Quote:
Plus, you're right, not every director isn't Nolan...but neither is Webb, neither is Vaughn....but they made surprisingly well reboots that beats the last film of the previous respective trilogy.

I wouldn't sleep on MoS. If the film turns out good it will easily surpass BB and FC at the box office. I'm predicting an 850m haul. That would make it the biggest reboot ever.

But it was still better than that in CapAm or Thor or any of the Dark Knight trilogy.It just felt stale in comparison to Raimi's trilogy But that was expected since Webb's a rookie,hopefully he will learn down the line Quote:
The character is toxic,its difficult to get the best of him Quote:
IM1 was flawless,without doubt.It made 500M plus which was good enough since the character wasnt famous.IM2 was a potential billion dollar movie,it just a made a fraction more than IM1 While TASM,releasing between 2 giants having its hyping greatly suppresed reached 750 easy.That is why I say that Webb just has to put his mind into making a good movie,it will earn money regardless,probably more than IM3 Quote:
Even Nolan's trilogy has them here and there Quote:
Which is why I am hoping Webb learns from the experience Quote:

It may make truckloads domestically if it is really good,but to make that much it needs money from overseas and Superman isnt half as famous overseas as Batman or Superman or the MCU |
